What are the nicknames of the Laek people

In the family of the protagonist of the television series "Colombo" could not choose the nickname for the dog, so the four-legged companion of the famous lieutenant was simply called "The Dog". Phlegmatic basset of a special difference, perhaps, was not - he still did not go to the call and without much enthusiasm performed the team, but with a husky is hardly "ride". This clever and sociable dog must certainly have a sonorous name, which will be the main tool for communicating with her, an ideal and trouble-free way to attract attention. This is especially important for a hunting dog during a round or hunted hunting, when the archers, occasionally, eagerly call their pets, and the sensitive ear of a husky must catch the call directed to it in time. And even more so you can not do without a sonorous nickname when it comes to pedigree dogs, because you need to write down something in its pedigree and adequately present it at the exhibition.

General principles of choosing a nickname

According to the recommendations of specialists, the nicknames of the Laek, as well as the nicknames of hunting dogs, should be fairly short, biting, with a clear, not "eaten up" ending. Especially good are the monosyllabic names (Vuk, Dick, Ton), or with two vowel sounds (Thibault, Braga, Nota). By the way, it turns out that Colombo unwittingly called his basset hound for the best standards! If there are two dogs or more in the house, their nicknames should not be consonant; At selection it is necessary to watch, that identical vowels in the same order did not come across. Such couples as Vesta and Leska, Vuk and Sound are highly undesirable.

Often the owners of thoroughbred dogs do not resist the temptation to call their pet pretentious and pathetic. As a result, such unpronounceable multi-letter combinations are obtained, that they can not be called by nicknames, as one can not force a dog to memorize such a construction. The argument of such owners: we, they say, still call it by its simplified name, sort of like "for home use." But is there any sense? Maybe for an exotic doghouse it's appropriate, but the nicknames of the Laikas have never been such, and breaking the tradition does not need anything at all.

Traditional nicknames of Laika

For hunting dogs, names are chosen, usually based on the convenience of pronunciation. Cheers are also welcome, in spirit and meaning close, related to hunting. Thus, the nicknames of hunting dogs of Laek often repeat the names of northern rivers, mountains, lakes, beasts. Such may be Altai, Vyatka, Ural, Ishim, Sayan, Yuma, Kuchum, Shaman, Taiga, Belka, Sable and the like. You can take a detailed geographical atlas and properly "travel" through Siberia and the North, "tasting" the name.

Of course, this is not a law or even a rule. Rather, tradition. The nicknames of Laika can be quite "from another opera", and still it is desirable to adhere to the general recommendations, which were mentioned above. For example, nicknames for dogs of girls of Laika can be: Hayk, Binga, Gayd, Judy, Quint, Ode, Sparta, Feri. And the "names" for males can be: Beck, Viscount, Doublon, Tan, Cyprus, Nemo, Ray. It is only necessary to show imagination and patience, and you can come up with such new and beautiful nicknames of Laika, which only emphasize the individuality of the dog.

Nicknames of famous dogs

If children are often called after movie actors, politicians, sportsmen and heroes, then why not apply the same principle to the name of the dog? Squirrels and Arrow - this is too "beaten", but there is also Scooby-Doo from the tape of the same name (you can just Scooby), Phil from "Good Night", Huch from the movie "Turner and Hooch." You can "borrow" the nicknames of dogs of famous people: Tyson - pet Stephen Sigal, Scampi - one of the dogs of Theodore Roosevelt, Cleo - the pitcher Gillian Andersen, Buster - the dog Jennifer Lopez and Chris Judd. And you can take the nicknames of Laika, who were real heroes. Such was, Balt, who delivered to the town in Alaska a vaccine that saved its inhabitants from the epidemic. Or Taro and Dzira, together with people who had been forced into winter in Antarctica.
