Unique Names for Border Collies
When looking for a suitable name for your new Collie puppy, pick something memorable and short. However, some people find it fun to name their puppies some hard-to-pronounce and extravagant names, which is not such a good idea.
Since you will probably have to call your dog out when in public, don’t be surprised when people give you strange looks for repeatedly shouting “Eleizabella Frenkenburger” while running after your dog! Also, make sure your dog’s name is either 1 or 2 syllables long. This is because you’ll probably have to shorten a long name so that it becomes easy to call your dog.
