German Male Dog Names

German Shepherds, German Shorthaired Pointer, German Wirehaired Pointer, Doberman Pinscher, German Mastiff, and Schnauzers, are just some of the many wonderful dog breeds to choose a Germanic-type name.

The need for good German male dog names:

Interstingly enough, the Doberman got its name from Herr Doberman who was a door-to-door tax collector who needed a watchful guard dog to accompany him on his rounds. In the late 1800's he set about to create an alert, streamlined guard dog which he did by crossing German Shepherds with German Pinscher and later crosses with black and tan Manchester Terrior, Greyhound, and Weimaraner. As its fame grew, as a breed and family pet, the Doberman eventually rose to to be the second most popular breed in America in 1977.....thus the need for German dog names!
