Girl Dog Names are Many, Popular and Some are Unique

One of the great things about girl dog names is the wide variety: there’s a name for everyone (and every dog). These names also capture the diverse sizes, temperaments, coat colors and character traits of female dogs.

From the tiny and feisty Chihuahua, the energetic Jack Russel Terrier to the Majestic and speedy Saluki that’s still raising dust in racing games in the Gulf. The Flash would definitely be a great female dog name for the kings of racing: Saluki and the Greyhound.
