Names for Chinese Crested Dogs

It’s not every day that you come across a Chinese Crested dog, but that doesn’t mean that these aren’t wonderful dogs.

If you’ve spent time around a Chinese Crested, you may have found yourself wanting to bring one home but choosing a name can be a real bear. There are so many great names for these dogs, and many people don’t realize that they come in a hairless and haired variety. So, that opens up so many more naming possibilities.

How to Choose a Name for Your Chinese Crested

To pick a name for your dog, you may need to get to know them a little bit. This means that you may pick a name that you love, but once you get to know your dog, you don’t feel like any of them are suitable.

How suitable a dog’s name is for them is a highly subjective thing, so you may have to get the backing of multiple family members once you decide on a name.

Pick a handful of your favorite potential names and then start narrowing things down from there. Some names may immediately get knocked off your list, while others may be more difficult to choose between. It may take a few tries to pick the perfect name, but you’ll get there with time, patience, and getting to know your dog.
