Introduction

The color blue is usually associated with calmness, cleanliness and stability. Blue is the color of the sea and the sky, which helps bring about a sense of tranquility. This is why a lot of people like the color blue. Even for pet owners, a blue dog is a unique choice. There are certain dog breeds with blue coats, such as the Blue Bay Shepherd, Italian Greyhound, Australian Cattle Dog and Thai Ridgeback, among others. However, this “blue coat” is more of a gray or silver shade as opposed to a striking blue color. In any case, these blue dogs are still impressive looking and are definite eye-turners.

Blue Dog Name Considerations

One of the privileges of owning a new dog is coming up with a new name for them. One of the most straightforward ways to come up with a new name is to use the dog’s coat color as inspiration. Obviously, for blue dogs, a name that is reminiscent of their coat color is a good choice. Some good name ideas for a blue-coated dog include “Sky”, “Ash” or “Glacier”.

Of course, you may choose to look at the other attributes of your dog when brainstorming for a name. It may either be based on your dog’s build, size, markings, country of origin, personality and even unique quirks that your dog may have.

Another thing to consider is that dogs only usually remember the first one or two syllables of a word. Therefore, giving your dog a long name might not make sense in the long run, given that they would not be able to remember it. The best solution would be to choose a short name, with a maximum of two syllables. If you already have a longer name in mind that you really want to give to your dog, make sure that there is a shortened form that you can use as a nickname.
