Dog Names Meaning Adventurous

Introduction

Adventure dog names are very popular among those dogs who are of the working or sporting breeds. Many great breeds, in the past, were bred to do a "job" for the owners. Nowadays, many of these breeds are family dogs and very loyal family dogs at that. German Shepherds, Brittany Spaniels, Pointers, and Hounds all make great house dogs even though their background and lineage are quite adventurous.

When deciding on a name for your dog, you may choose an adventurous name due to the breed itself or based on the dog's personality. If you want to be adventurous with your dog, such as with traveling or hiking, you may choose a name to fit these activities.

Who cannot forget the classic movie The Wizard of Oz (1939)? What an adventure that was! This movie features many characters, such as the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, the Lion, and of course Dorothy and Toto. Dorothy is trying very hard to find her way back to Kansas, as her original house was blown away in an enormous tornado. Her house landed in a place called Oz. Her beloved dog, Toto, stays right by her side the whole way, as they follow the Yellow Brick Road to try to get to the Wizard, who they were told can help her get back to Kansas. On this adventure, Dorothy and Toto meet friends and enemies along the way, and Toto even saves Dorothy from the Wicked Witch! This little Cairn Terrier is Dorothy's best friend who doesn't give up as he and Dorothy walk for miles and miles on their quest.

The Incredible Journey (1993) stars three animals who happen to be one cat and two dogs. The dogs in the film are Luath, who is a Labrador Retriever, and Bodger, who is a Bull Terrier. While the family must travel from California to England for a job-related opportunity, the dogs and cat (Tao) are sent to Ontario to stay with an uncle. When the uncle goes out hunting, the animals decide to find their way back home. They make a huge trek through the Canadian Wilderness to get back home. They eventually find their home and once their family returns they are reconnected. This movie highlights the love for family and how animals are very loyal...no matter what!

A Pug, Otis, is a real hero who goes on an adventure to help out Milo, the cat, in The Adventures of Milo and Otis (1986). The kitten, Milo, meets a puppy named Otis, and they become good friends. They grow up on a farm together and are quite close. When Milo gets swept up in a current in a river (in a box!), Otis goes on an adventure to save him! Otis finds he will do whatever it takes to find Milo, and during his adventure to be reconnected with his friend, he faces many hindrances. He surely does not give up until they are back together again. This is a story of love and friendship, and even though it is between two animals, human viewers will learn many lessons as well.

Dog Name Meaning Adventurous Considerations

If you have an adventurous dog, or if you love taking your dog on adventures, think of a name that fits the category. For example, if you have a male dog that loves to partake in travels with you, how about Marco or Drake, named after two famous explorers? If you have a female dog who loves adventure, Amelia, after Amelia Earhart may be the perfect name.

If you would rather name your dog based on being adventurous in general, there are names like Walker, Pack, and Trail for a male. There are also names for a female such as Breezy, River, and Clover. Keep in mind when naming your dog, you can also name your adventurous companion based on their appearance and personality, such as Cujo or Blackie for a male, or Gracie or Dottie for a girl.

Fortunately, there are many names that define an adventurous dog, based on breed and what you like to do for fun with your furbaby. Keep in mind that any name will be perfect, even if it is based on a famous adventurer or based on personality or appearance. The most important thing is that you spend time with your dog, take your adventurous dog on many journeys, and spend the quality time together!
