In order to put order in dog registrations and to facilitate the keeping of its registers, the SCC (Société Centrale Canine) established a system of canine alphabet in 1926. This consists of assigning names beginning with a one and the same letter to all puppies born in the same year.
Anyway, 2016 is the year of the “M” . Puppies born this year are therefore given names beginning with this letter. It is preferable to opt for a name which is composed of one or two syllables in order to facilitate the assimilation by the dog. Here are some suggestions to help you choose a name for a dog in 2016 . Otherwise, you can also test our tool to find a name for your dog according to his gender and / or a specific theme.
