How to Choose the Name of a Labrador Puppy?
The following are some factors that can help you determine the name of your Labrador puppy.
Personality of Your Labrador – Some Labs tend to have more energy than others and can be given a name based on this trait. Similarly, if your Labrador puppy has a strong build, he/she can be named accordingly.
Color of Your Labrador – The stunning coat colors of Labradors can also help you to choose a name for them. For example, a black Lab can be named ‘Ash’ while a yellow Lab can be called ‘Blondie’.
Story of Your Labrador – If you have adopted a Labrador from an animal shelter, you can use the history of your pooch to come up with a suitable name. Likewise, rescue dogs can be named based on their job.
NOTE: Irrespective of the strategy you use, make sure to keep the name short and sweet.
