Best Male Dog Names - Pippin

We think this is one of the best male dog names for our dog because he was small like a hobbit and had a mischievious personality like Pippin from "Lord of the Rings". We also felt the name was appropriate for a fun-loving, energetic puppy. He has lived up to his namesake and keeps us laughing and smiling at his antics. We also call him "Pip" for short.

Best Male Dog Names - Foster

by Gina
(Indianapolis)

We found him in a parking lot and took him to the vet 1st thing to make sure he didn't have a tag implanted and that he was healthy. We didn't have a name for the vet to put in the records so I just had them put our last name, Foster, in the records temporarily. Then it just stuck because he answered to it. My oldest son wanted to name him "Bacon", as in what's shakin' bacon, because he shook alot then. It's kind of embarrassing though when the vet or groomer asks my last name and then the dog's name.

Male Dog Names - Job

by Tracy
(Arkansas)

I rescued Job from a puppy mill bust in Missouri. When we brought him home he was thin, stained yellow from the urine that ran down from all the rabbit cages that were stacked on top of his. He was pitiful looking, so scared & shy too. My daughter said that he had to have the faith & patience of Job (like in the Bible) to have waited to be rescued from such an awful situation instead of giving up & dieing. So we decided that "Job" (pronounced Jobe) was the perfect name for him.

German Male Dog Names - Buhba Bear

Buhba Bear

I can't take credit for choosing this name, it is a German male dog name. My husband and I tried to chose a name we both liked. However, we were not clicking on our choices.

My 4 year old granddaughter was over to see the puppy when she picked him up and said, "Come here little Buhba Bear". At the time I had no idea if Buhba was an actual name, but it really fit our puppy.

I called my husband and he agreed it was a great name for the puppy. Out of curiosity I got on the internet to find out if Buhba was an actual name. It is derived from old Germany and can also be spelled Bubba, but the spelling Buhba is the original spelling and means "boy". The middle name "Bear" really fits our puppy.

I like the idea that my granddaughter named him. I babysit her 4 days a week so she considers he is her dog also.

Male Dog Name - Newton

Our male dog is named after Sir Issac Newton. We were lost and spinning when we unexpectedly lost our beloved Jack Russell Terrier Quincy. Newton saved us from deep, deep heartache and brought us back to earth. Plus he's small and "Newt" seemed a really cute name to call a little guy!

Male Dog Names - Tank

by Rebecca

We chose Tank because he was the biggest pup in the litter and the kids said he was as big as a tank. It fits him well.
