Most Popular Male Dog Names

According to the AKC, American Kennel Club, the most popular breed of dog in the USA this month is the Labrador Retriever followed by German Shepherd, Yorkshire Terriers, Golden Retrievers, and Boxers. Below, I've offered suggestions on appropriate male dog names for each breed.

Labrador Retrievers are people and action oriented dogs who think that they are a part of your family; when left alone, they can become bored and mischievous. The "retriever" part of their name speaks for itself; if a bored Labrador takes it upon himself to pile all of your clean sox onto the kitchen table while you are at work... just go with the flow. He built your soggy sox castle, one brick at a time, out of love.

Male dog names for a Labrador Retriever: 1. Xavier (meaning: owns a new house.). 2. Stanley (meaning: Gaelic - old hero.). 3. Gigolo (meaning: paid stud fees by the ladies.). 4. Trooper. (Iraq War). 5. Sir BarkLee. 6. Yowzer. 7. Visa. 8. Oreo. 9. Harpo. 10. Ziggy.

My favorite male dog name for a Labrador Retriever would have to be, "Tucker". That's a nice mellow sounding name that has a hint of artistic mischief in it. Or, perhaps "Einstein" would fit better? It's not every dog who can spend all day laboring over art projects when he misses you.

German Shepherds are by nature hard working dogs; friendly, loyal, obedient, and protective towards their masters... If the master wants it, the master shall have it - this is their motto. German Shepherds will happily guard your home while you are away at work, they just require an instant, "good boy" when you get home, before you get your keys into the door. Giving praise for a job well done is what German Shepherds thrive on.

Male dog names for a German Shepherd: 1. Wolfgang (meaning: wolf fight). 2. Wraith (meaning: death ghost). 3. Bruno (meaning: brown hair). 4. Gunner. (Iraq War)5. Otis (who also got bored on the Andy of Mayberry Show). 6. Samson 7. Ingelbert. 8. Sigifried. 9. Zap. 10. Waldorf the Wonderful.
