Will your puppy have a job when he’s older? A cute name is fine for a pet or a therapy dog, but not so much for a working dog, such as a guard dog or a dog trained for search and rescue.
If your puppy will be working in public when it’s older, it is essential that they have a respectable name.

Your puppy must never doubt that its name is a good thing.
