How to name a female pinscher puppy

The Miniature Pinscher is considered one of the most popular breeds among toy dogs. They are distinguished by their special devotion, mobility, and cheerful character. But, at the same time, these are rather capricious, cocky animals that do not tolerate free treatment and do not get along well with children.

The nickname for such a pet should be short and sonorous so that its pronunciation does not take a long time. It is easier for a dog with a lively temperament to respond to them. In our selection, we tried to collect the best nicknames that are most suitable for miniatures.

Miniature Pinscher puppies, nicknames for Miniature Pinscher girls, what to feed

It is very good to have a four-legged friend at home who will bring joy to the house. But before that you need to decide which breed to choose. There are many breeds that are designed for different purposes, such as hunting, guarding, or simply being an ornamental companion.

The miniature pinscher is just bought as a companion dog. Although their appearance is not similar to a Chihuahua, Toy Terrier or Pug, they have an aggressive appearance that is reminiscent of Doberman Pinschers, except for their small size.

If you decide to buy a miniature pinscher, then you need to know how to choose the right puppy. This article will help with this. But first you need to find out what the Miniature Pinscher breed is.

Breed descriptions

A miniature pinscher is simply a smaller version of a regular pinscher. The same aggressive look, the same smooth coat, only on a smaller scale.

The weight of a miniature pinscher is no more than 6 kilograms, males are slightly larger than females. These miniature pinschers live for about 15 years, although there are also long-livers who live 18-20 years.

Due to their appearance, they are called small Dobermans.

This breed has appearance standards adopted by the Council of Cynologists, which must meet the following criteria:

Important: At the moment, ear and tail trimming is not necessary; this procedure causes a lot of pain to dogs.

Smooth wool;
Height is approximately 25-30 cm at the withers;
Weight should be 4-6 kilograms;
The coat color is black, tan and red.

Despite their small size, they have well-developed muscles and strong bones. The head is elongated and fits well with the size of the body. The front legs are slightly shorter than the hind legs. The neck is long and muscular, the eyes are dark in color. The coat is smooth and shiny. They also have their tail and ears trimmed.

The color of miniature pinschers is divided into two types:

Brown-red;
Black – tan – red;
There is also a third type of color: brown-tan. So far, miniature pinschers with this color are bred only in the United States.

A special feature of this breed is the presence of an interesting gait – the ballet trot.

Due to the fact that the hind limbs are longer than the front, miniature pinschers lift their paws when moving, like circus horses.

Mating

You cannot send a dog for mating until the third heat. And the male must already be more than a year old. Mating at an early age can have a negative impact on the offspring and the parents. Before sending dogs for mating, you need to visit a specialist so that he checks both dogs for compliance with the standard. Compliance with the standard can also be determined at exhibitions.

Important: Dogs with similar conformation problems should not be crossed.

Having found problems with the exterior of a bitch, you need to look for a male with a good exterior. Then he compensates with his advantages for the shortcomings of the bitch, then you will get excellent puppies, with good health and no pathologies.

Both dogs should be disinfected before mating. And also in order to avoid infection of one of the individuals with the virus, some tests need to be carried out.

What to feed puppies

The nutrition of dogs of this breed must be approached responsibly. After all, a dog’s health and mood depend on its diet. Unfortunately, miniature pinschers are prone to obesity, so they should not be overfed. They can be fed both dry and natural food.

But you only need to feed one type of food. If it is natural food, then it should consist of 60% meat products. And if dry food is used, it must contain a high protein content. And feeding miniature pinscher puppies requires even more responsibility from the owner.

In the first days of the puppy, he should eat exclusively mother's milk. And if this is not possible, then you need to purchase a special formula and feed the baby through a nipple.

Once the puppy reaches the first month of life, you can give him cow's or goat's milk. You can also start giving milk porridge, first 2 times a day, and then teach your baby to eat porridge 4 times. You can start giving small pieces of raw meat. Vegetable soup would also be nice.

At two months you need to give your miniature pinscher more meat. At this age, you can give all cereals except semolina. Sometimes it is worth giving your dog a boiled egg, which contains a sufficient amount of protein, which is very useful for the growing body.

Add grated garlic to your food a couple of times a week; this will be an excellent preventive measure against worms.

After seven months, you need to add fruit to your diet. And occasionally you can give the dogs sweets.

At 9 months, you can feed puppies everything that adult dogs should eat.

How to choose a puppy

To choose the right puppy, you need to follow some rules, which are presented below:

The puppy must be active and willing to eat;
Nothing should stand out from the nose and ears;
The entire body should be evenly covered with hair;
There should be no bad breath;
The ears should not be hot;
The eyes must be clean;
A small miniature pinscher should show curiosity; if he does not react to people in any way, then not everything is in order with his health;
The puppy should not limp;
You need to look at the puppy's parents to see what he will be like when he grows up;
You need to pay attention to the dog’s bite, all teeth should close evenly, there should be 6 incisors on each jaw;
The length of the muzzle should be equal to the length of the head.

How to choose a name for a puppy

If the puppy was purchased from a nursery, then most likely he has already been given a name. But don’t be upset, until the dog has grown up you can rename it.

A dog can be named based on its external characteristics or behavior.

Or you can name the puppy names from your favorite cartoons or movies.

If you rely on the fact that the homeland of these dogs is Germany, then you can name the puppy with a German name.

Also, the nickname should be short and sonorous, then the puppy will get used to it faster.

Fashion for dog names

If you're wondering what it was common to name dogs in the past, different trends have prevailed at different times. In the 18th and 19th centuries there was a boom in hunting with dogs and names that reflected the characteristics of the dog were in fashion, such as Kusay, Robbery, Pugay

etc. But in the 20th century, the trend came to call dogs after the names of the Greek pantheon, for example, Hermes, Zeus, Antaeus and others.

Wartime displaced the fashion for mythological names, replacing them with more realistic ones: Faithful, Friend, Hero, Brave, as well as names given in honor of geographical objects, for example, Baikal, Amur and others. Belki and Strelki, as well as various Knops and Ryzhiks, became popular after the famous space flights with dogs.

Perestroika brought many foreign words into the Russian language, including dog names. Dogs began to be called Black, Boy, Smile, Schwartz and similar foreign words.

Speaking about modern trends in dog names, we can cite several names of dogs of famous people:

York Merai Carey – Ginger;
Will Smith's dog is Ludo;
Daria Dontsova’s dogs – Iriska, Kapa, Mulya;
Madonna's Chihuahua - Chiquita.

As you can see, there is no one fashion trend, as they say “who knows what”.

How to name a miniature pinscher girl

If you decide to buy a miniature pinscher, then you need to know how to choose the right puppy. This article will help with this. But first you need to find out what the Miniature Pinscher breed is.

Nicknames for miniature pinscher

When a puppy gets to a new home, owners are faced with many questions and problems. What to feed a puppy, how to properly raise and train it.

But the very first thing is: what to call a miniature pinscher? It would seem that coming up with a nickname for an animal, how difficult could it be? But when it comes to this, many contradictions arise. I want the name to be sonorous and not too complicated.

It did not look comical and emphasized the status and appearance of the animal. Is this problem familiar? Then stay with us, today we will talk about the most popular, common and even extraordinary names for dogs.

Breed Features

It’s not without reason that we started from this point, so don’t rush to scroll down. After all, the choice of a nickname for a miniature pinscher , and indeed, like any other dog or cat, should be based on the psychology and characteristics of the breed and the animal itself. Agree, it’s funny to see a mini Doberman nicknamed Tuzik or Baksik. Although, this is a purely individual matter.

But dogs of the miniature pinscher breed have a history of more than three centuries, and it is wrong to call them nicknames that are typical for yard dogs. Miniature pinschers are aristocratic animals.

Their royal habits and appearance made them favorites of kings and other nobility. Intellectual abilities, dexterity, obedience and speed of reaction are irreplaceable companions of people.

Previously, it was considered the height of luxury and prosperity if the ringing bark of these pets was heard in the house or when accompanied by a carriage.

These animals are quite smart, but capricious. But this problem can be easily dealt with if you educate and train them.

Miniature Pinschers are agile and active, they simply love walks and energetic games in the fresh air. But most of all, they depend on their owners.

These dogs are very devoted and faithful, so it is often recommended that when going on vacation, you take them with you, as the animal will be very bored and sad.

There were cases when, due to the departure of the dog’s owner, they staged hunger strikes and could hold out in this situation for several days.

To summarize the above, I would like to note that choosing a nickname for a dog should be done responsibly. It is necessary to understand that the animal will live with this name all its life. And, as they say, whatever you name the ship, that’s how it will sail.

Of course, no one forbids you to change the nicknames of your miniature pinscher , but what is the point then? The dog will never get used to its fickle nickname and will not respond to it, which is fraught with problems both at home and when walking.

Recommendations for choosing a nickname for a miniature pinscher

The nickname of a miniature pinscher, a boy or a girl , is an individual matter. No one can force you or influence your choice, with the exception of family members. There are a number of points on which you should choose miniature pinscher names :

pay attention to the appearance of the animal. Perhaps it has features or remarkable features that will guide you in your choice.
Observe the character and behavior of the animal. Often it is the pet’s habits that contribute to a quick and accurate choice.
Choose nicknames that are light, simple in sound and perception. A huge number of consonants and hissing sounds will be quite difficult for an animal to remember.
Avoid names that are too fancy. Often they “look” awkward and bring a slight smile to the face of strangers.
The name must match the animal. If this is a decorative dog of small breeds, then you should not call it something that is associated with big, menacing and powerful. The same can be said about large dogs. The Doberman, nicknamed Pusya, can hardly claim to be perceived as a frightening dog. Although, you understand, this is all individual.

Of course, recommendations are good, but when nothing comes to mind, it’s even more difficult to decide. Now we’ll tell you how to name a girl miniature pinscher and what dog names exist for miniature pinscher boys .

Nicknames for miniature pinscher girls

Unlike wayward boys, girls are more flexible and obedient. They really need love, affection, care and attention from their owner. Therefore, miniature pinscher names for girls should be appropriate:

Alva, Almira, Alexa, Betty, Bardi, Vesta, Ilsa, Ilgrid, Petra, Elsa, Yusta, Yamina.

In addition, there are often names associated with famous historical figures, names of stars, comets, and even names of vegetables and fruits. May meet: Monroe, Monika, Yadviga, Urusla or simply Pear, Marshmallow and Raisin.

Nicknames for miniature pinscher boys

The boys, despite their small size, are very mischievous, lively and wayward guys. Their strong-willed qualities and strength of character are visible to the naked eye. Therefore, the name for the miniature pinscher Tuzik would be inappropriate. The best way to name a miniature picker boy is

Atey, Amin, Burton, Bakki, Vinson, Derty, Lucky, Chakson, Ternon, Hanton, Hesi, Ersen, Eugene, Yanez.

Of course, you can show your imagination or find similarities between the dog and other people, creatures or objects. Then a dog of the miniature pinscher can be called:

Charlie, Chuck, Chelsea, Einstein or Lincoln.

For dogs of the Miniature Pinscher breed, names are usually chosen easily and there will not be any special problems with this. Don’t rush to frantically come up with a nickname on the very first day and call the first one you come across. Observe the animal, its behavior, character, habits, and the correct answer will come by itself.

Choosing a suitable name for a female puppy

Has a female puppy appeared in your house? First of all, you need to come up with a name for your baby. This is far from simple; the name will accompany the pet throughout its life. It should reflect its character and be suitable in breed and size, because you definitely wouldn’t call a Sheepdog a Tiny one. What sweet-sounding nicknames for girls' dogs exist - this is the question on the agenda!

What to name the puppy?

First and foremost, the nickname should be euphonious and short. Remember that a dog is a social creature; you will regularly walk with your four-legged friend on the street and will often call your pet by name in front of other people.

Conchita-Isaura, come to me!

Strictly speaking, your dog has a nickname - it is reflected in his birth certificate and veterinary passport. But few people want to call the pinscher Angel Diamond Ocean Splash or Ice Edelweiss Pink Dawn. The fact is that in nurseries there is a binding of the nicknames of all puppies in a litter to a letter of the alphabet. And sometimes breeders have to try hard to assign a suitable name to everyone, but they cannot repeat themselves.

Many then say: “We immediately realized that she wanted to be called Bertha and nothing else!” - but until a nickname is chosen, it becomes the subject of heated debate. Each family member offers his own option, and the puppy happily responds to everything, making it clear that he is happy with any name, as long as they play with him. In the meantime, the choice is serious, since the nickname should be:

unique - you don’t want all the surrounding Lindas and Mukhtars to come running to your call;
easy to pronounce - it is believed that it is easier for a dog to get used to a name consisting of only two syllables;
easily distinguishable by ear from the given commands.

The task seems even more difficult if you remember that you need to choose a word that will be spoken in your home more often for the next 12–15 years than “good evening.”

What to do if you already have a nickname

If a Doberman puppy was purchased from a kennel, then it already has a name recorded in the documents, and it cannot be changed. But it also happens that the owner does not like it or for some reason does not suit the pet. In this case, a pet name is invented. The first way is to shorten a complex breed nickname to a harmonious and easy-to-pronounce version. For example, the name Platinum Blonde can be shortened to Blondie, Selena Sunrise Long Kiss - to Sunny.

The second way is to choose a consonant option. If the dog's name is Sunrise Dulcinea, but the owner doesn't like the name Dusya, you can settle on the nickname Darcy.

Pedigree pets cannot have their names changed, but you can come up with a pet name

Choosing a name for a Doberman is a responsible and serious matter, since the animal will live with it for about 12-16 years. There is no need to rush; it is important to weigh all the pros and cons in order to avoid a fatal mistake.

This is not a method for everyone, but it is suitable for those who like to laugh and make an impression. Are you the owner of a huge black dog? Call it Ice Cream or Snowball. Do you have a fearsome Doberman? The nickname Luntik or Cheburashka would probably suit him. Your baby Miniature Pinscher will proudly bear the name Napoleon or even Jormungandr if you pronounce it with love.

Don't forget that the Pinscher is a fairly active and temperamental dog to need training, no matter what name you choose for him. But a well-bred Pinscher will become your reliable companion, regardless of what you named him, so the best idea is to be guided by your own taste, imagination and intuition.
