So you may wonder, what is in a dog’s name? Just what does it matter what your girl dog’s name is? The answer is maybe a fair bit, because your bitch’s name defines him or her in the eyes of your neighbours, especially if you have a rather small dog. For what a small dog lacks in stature it can make up for in attitude. For a small dog, being cute will get her everywhere. But what is a cute dog without a cute dog’s name?

Cute dog names are really meant for female dogs or bitches. Abby, for example is a very cute dog name. When you match with a mental image, you probably see a little Westie or a Labrador pup romping around on a lawn in your mind’s eye. Other cute female dog names are Queenie, Beauty, Becky and Blackie. All of these cute dog names seem to embody a bundle of fur that has a sweet nature and just loves cuddles. They all allude to a cute appearance and a very happy dog owning experience.

However, there appears to be rather few cute dog names available for male dogs. This could be because it reduces the masculine image that male dogs are supposed to have. Still, there are some male cute dog names about. Bobby, Casper, Patch and Spot are all cute male dog names that have the same effect as the female ones do. However, you do need to ensure that you have the right kind of male dog to give a cute dog name to, because if you get it wrong, he will sound ridiculous.

Cute dog names can be suitable for male and female members alike of certain breeds and can help to develop a lovable personality, because of the affection, with which it will be handled. But do be warned, you do not want to leave your dog open to ridicule so choose when to give your dog a cute dog name with caution.

Whilst dogs are very intelligent creatures, they cannot process the same quantity of information that humans can. As a result, dog names should never be more than two syllables. If they are more than that, it is seldom that a dog will respond. Max, Sam, Lady, Molly and the like are excellent dog names because they are short and the syllables are hard. They easily respond to dog names like those and it can increase your chances of training them.

However, dogs names should assist them form an identity of their own. Common names do not allow them to do that, so finding something simple but unusual can help their characters no end without hurting their ability to respond on command.

I am willing to bet money that most dog owners do not think of the factors outlined above when thinking of dog names for a new pet. Instead, dog names are chosen at on a whim, but it is worth putting a bit more thought into it, for your dogs sake if nothing else.

It is not always easy to find a good dog that suits your needs. Most people would by impulse get the first dog that comes into their heart, while there are others who prefer to do research and investigate before getting a dog. If you have interest in getting a dog such a Manchester Terrier then there are few very important things that you should understand.

The first and the foremost thing that you should understand is that the Manchester Terrier comes in two different varieties, the Toy and the Standard Manchester Terrier variety. Both varieties of this dog are somewhat similar to each other except for the difference in their size.

For instance the toy Manchester Terrier variety can weigh between 6-12 pounds while the standard Manchester Terrier variety weighs between 16-19 pounds. There is also a marked difference in height between these two different varieties and this is reflected in the lack of inches in the toy Manchester Terrier variety. These dogs can grow up to about 10-12 inches while the standard variety grows about 15-17 inches in height.

Both the verities of the Manchester Terrier do are good companions and highly intelligent in nature. Even though the toy Manchester Terrier possesses hunting skill, it is not used for this purpose, the better suited dog for this purpose if the standard Manchester Terrier. All said, it really doesn’t matter whether you get a standard or a toy Manchester Terrier as most people these days would not use these dogs to hunt.

These dogs are primarily used as companion dogs or competitive dogs. These dogs are highly intelligent and can be trained if this is taken of at a very early age. Otherwise both the toy Manchester Terrier and the standard Manchester Terrier have been to known to be willful and sometimes to not listen to its owner. A firm hand is a must when training your Manchester Terrier.

Having children, especially young children, is another factor that you should keep in mind while getting either a toy or a standard Manchester Terrier. You will want to be very careful while the dog is near children as the dogs may become very aggressive if the aggression has not been bred out of them or trained out of them at an early age.

And since they were bred specifically as rat hunters, if you have any pet hamsters, gerbils or mice roaming around the house you might want to think of getting another type of dog or giving away your rodent pets. Although the Manchester Terrier can be kept alone with smaller animals if trained from the beginning, you might not want to trust in training against instinct, too much. The best thing that you can do would be to take temptation out of the way!
