Dessert Inspired Dog Names

Introduction

When choosing a name for your dog, it can be a struggle to come up with something that is truly original and meaningful. Dog owners often explore other unrelated areas to find that one unique name that is perfect or as close to perfect as they can get it. Literature, movies, famous actors and people - they are all good areas to look at. But what about something different, something like ... desserts! Sweet, yummy, tasteful and a real delicacy, you can find a name or two in this field that is unbelievably... sweet (sorry - I just had to say it ). Sometimes a special food may be associated with a happy time such as 'biscuit' after grandma's special biscuit recipe that everyone loved. Or it may be something that the owner has a special craving for, such as sorbet, cupcakes or fudge. These are all perfect for a dog that is special and gives the same feeling of bliss when thinking about them. There are so many sweet desserts that can be lovingly bestowed on your best buddy. Just make sure it is easy to say and cannot be shortened to something unpleasant.

Featured Famous Dog with a Dessert Inspired Name

Dougal

Dougal is an animated adventure about a dog who just loves candy and all sweet things. While not good for his health or his teeth, you can't help but love this adorable mutt who is on a mission to save the world from the evil sorcerer Zeebad. It is a lovely children's movie as Dougal and his gang of friends battle to save their friends and family while encountering a lava-bordered volcano, ancient temples, and evil skeleton guards. It is also a great movie to find names for your dog, such as Dougal, Zeebad, Moose, Dylan and Sam. In this story, Dougal's vow to give up all things sugar is forgotten completely (who cannot relate to that), he reverts to his old sweet habit and solves the problems, becoming a reluctant hero in the process. The movie portrays Dougal the dog as the hero, as all dogs are, given their instinctive nature to protect, shelter and love.

Another movie that spotlights the dog is called Bailey's Billion$. It is a lovely story about a Golden Retriever who inherits a large amount of money (billions in fact) from his eccentric owner. Although this has nothing to do with desserts, it is a sweet story suitable to families as it relates to the evil relatives who plot to get the money and get rid of Bailey. And Bailey is a sweet talking dog... if you get the connection? Sweet - desserts... do you get it? However, back to the story. Nephew Casper and his money hungry wife Dolores (great names here for your dog) hatch a plan to get rid of Bailey, but luckily he is supported by a loyal guardian Ted, friend Marge, and a clever Border Collie named Tessa. I will leave it to you to find out the rest but it underlines again the spirit of the dog and how they always seem to come from a good place. Their devotion and affection are pure and true. Bailey is a lovely name for a dog. It reminds me of the creamy thick liquor that desserts are often made from, or you could just pour it over ice cream and you're done!

Finally, another story which became a best selling book and a movie is called Because of Winn Dixie. This is a sweet (again that connection to dessert as in sweet) story about a young girl named Opal who moves to a new town and the dog that changed her life. Winn Dixie is played in the movie by Picardy Shepherds, a rare breed from France. When Opal takes on Winn Dixie who was causing havoc in the supermarket, the dog repays her kindness by helping her to settle into the new town and make new friends. The plot is simple but adorable and tears will no doubt fall in some parts, but I am not going to spoil it for you - you will just have to see it for yourself. This movie is a good source for a name for your dog, and is another lesson in the devotion of the dog.

The dessert niche offers a surprising range of titles that you can adapt for your new puppy. The names are quite unique, and names like Cocoa or Ginger (items used to make many desserts) can describe your dog's color perfectly. A name is an important consideration, and it should makes sense, be easy to say and it should be able to be paired with commands once training begins. Your dogs name should be respectful - don't call a puppy fatty or fatso as they will not always be plump little round bundles of joy. They will grow up to (hopefully) become lean, fit and full of life. To start, give your cute canine a name that is easy to say, such as Cupcake. If you have a name that your tongue finds hard to get around, it will not work. Often you have to command your dog quickly to protect it, such as 'Stay' or 'Stop' when out and about in traffic. Their name has to flow off your tongue easily to be effective. When you are choosing a name and come across one you like, say it out loud as though you are calling your dog. Combine it with the commands you will teach your dog to ensure it sounds effective, not confusing. By saying the name aloud you will get a feel whether this name will work for you and your new companion.
