I’ve been a fan of the natural world for as long as I can remember. When I was growing up, I mostly liked to study different kind of dogs. You see, my parents were breeders active in the local kennel club, and raised schnauzers and a few other breeds professionally. Unlike them, I wasn’t particularly concerned with how good a specimen each dog was or how it compared to its particular breed. I didn’t care if it’s ears had the right proportion or its head had the right coloring. In fact, my favorite dog growing up was a mutt that we had taken in. He was a stray dog, probably two thirds Golden retriever but nowhere near one of the purebreds my parents looked for. Nevertheless, even at that young age I realized that all kinds of animals had their virtues and uses and that it was a mistake to judge one breed or species superior to another.
As I grew up, I took up animal photography as a hobby. I would photograph all kinds of animals, from wild rabbits to domestic cats to lizards, insects and even rare birds. Soon I had more than 100 different kinds of animals organized in my photo album, and I started to think about becoming a professional. In college, I did some freelance photography gigs and wrote a few travel articles for regional magazines, but it never really panned out into a full time career. For me, you see, It was not about making money. Rather, it was about seeing as many different animals as I could and really trying to capture something essential about each one with the pictures I took.
Nowadays, I don’t simply restrict myself to photography anymore. I have an extensive collection of both domestic and exotic pets, featuring all kinds of animals from around the world. I seem to go through phases these days. I was really into mammals growing up, but nowadays I’m much more interested in reptiles, particularly snakes and skinks. Still, there’s only so much you can do with reptiles. I am always careful to keep a couple dogs around or maybe a ferret or two so that I have a buddy I can play chase or catch with. Surprisingly, I still like all kinds of animals, even though I’ve come across a few bad tempered ones over the years. A sullen snake or a bad tempered rabbit has a lot of character, and it’s fascinating to get to know the grouchy critters along with the pleasant ones.

Picking cute puppy names can be exciting for the whole family. One good way to do this is to have the parents narrow the choices to a few and then let the kids make the final decision. Putting some thought into the name will allow your puppy to have a name that pleases everyone. Making the name decision too quickly might leave your friends puzzled over your choice.
Here are a few tips for choosing cute puppy names. Arriving at puppy names takes a little imagination. If you have a puppy that will be large you probably would not name him Tiny unless you were trying to be funny. Take into account your dog’s size as a puppy as well as a full-grown dog.
Your dog’s behavior and personality might very well influence your name choice. If so, you would want to get to know your dog first before naming him. An antsy or irritable dog would not do well with a name like Buddy.
It is best to keep the name short. Puppies learn their name more easily if it has only one or two syllables. A longer name can slow the process down. The training process will involve teaching him his name as well as voice commands. He will learn to stay, sit, fetch, etc. Its best not to choose a name that sounds like a command or rhymes with a command. A name like “Bo” rhymes with “no” and might be confusing.
Dog’s physical features can lead to cute puppy names. Coat color might lead to a good name choice. Features that anyone can readily see can help in the name choice. Cute puppy names can sometimes be derived from your own personality or interests.
A sports fan might want to name a large dog after one of his favorite sports figures. If typical puppy names do not seem dignified enough you can use a human name. It’s perfectly fine to give your dog a proper name as you would a child.
Puppy names can sometimes be inspired by the dog’s country of origin. There are lots of Spanish language names that would be fitting for a Chihuahua. Your Rottweiler might be called Hans or Freda. There are numerous web sites that offer name suggestions so check these out.
