How to Choose the Perfect Name
When selecting a name, keep these tips in mind:

- Match their personality: Spend time with your pup to see if their behavior inspires a name. A playful pup might be a “Bouncy,” while a calm one could be “Chill.”
- Test it out: Say the name aloud and see how it feels. You’ll be using it a lot, so make sure you love it!
- Involve the family: Let everyone contribute ideas and vote on their favorite.
