Frequently Asked Questions
What if I have a pair of dogs at the same time?
Aim for names that complement one another but are phonetically unique. Try to stay away from similar sounding pairs like 'Bilo' or 'Tuna', as this might muddle the animals during feeding time.
Is it OK to use a strong name for a female dog?
Absolutely! Fierce names like Athena, Xena, Rogue, or Valkyrie are perfect for female dogs with a bold personality. The power of a name echoes personality, not tradition.
What qualities should I consider when naming my Tosa Inu?
Each Tosa Inu has their own character, but the breed is typically recognized for particular qualities. Watch your companion for a while prior to deciding — the right name usually reveals itself on its own.
Does the way I say a dog's name affect their response?
Yes! Dogs respond best to a upbeat tone. Never saying their name in an negative tone, as they may start to connect it with something bad and hesitate to responding.
