Introduction

There is nothing like a new puppy in a household to cause excitement and wonder. Once the excitement settles, you are suddenly faced with providing a name for this new addition to the family. While you may have had a name in mind, funny things can happen when you get a dog. Suddenly that name you like doesn't quite seem to suit your little pooch. The type of dog and what they will grow up to is important. The New Zealand Heading Dog breed has a long and respectable reputation in New Zealand. Regardless of whether you are on a farm and your new puppy will be a working dog, or whether they are just going to be your best buddy and companion for life, your new dog deserves a good name. One that captures their character, is easy to shout out in public (and you won't be embarrassed by) and one that your dog can understand easily. Lucky for you, we have compiled a list of names to make the job easier.

New Zealand Heading Dog Name Considerations

Names provide warmth and feeling to the relationship between human and dog. Therefore, naming your dog is very important. The New Zealand Heading Dog comes from a working background, and they take any orders or commands seriously. Honoring this hard-working dog history, choose a name that reflects their characteristics and nature. A working dog would suit a name like Caesar or even Holly, whereas a companion dog might suit Feta or Inca. Observe your dog for a day or two once you have them at home. Certain characteristics will come to light and may help you decide on a name. A quiet dog might suit Hombre or Jewel, while a rowdy, energetic dog would do well with a name like Skeeter or Nitro.
