Good Hungarian Dog Names for a Puli or Komondor

For thousands of years, the Magyar people have been herding on the steppes of Eastern Europe. To watch their flocks, they developed several great breeds of working dogs and two of them are among the most distinctive dogs in the world.

The Puli was usually the shepherd that helped the Hungarians manage their herds. The Komondor is a larger dog and was bred to watch the flock and come running if help was needed.

Both dogs are very special, and both deserve an authentic name from Hungary.

As you can see from this list, a good dog name should have only one or two syllables, and it should also end in a vowel; if you follow these guidelines when selecting a dog name, your Puli or Komondor will thank you for it.

If you do not like any of these Hungarian names, and choose to find a different name elsewhere, just remember to follow these guidelines and do not pick some three or four syllable word that will confuse your dog when it is time to train. There are plenty of sites listing dog names, but be sure not to pick a name that your dog will not answer to.

Do not name your dog something silly or a word that sounds just like any other dog in your household.

Also be sure not to pick an overused dog name. It may be easy to call your dog Max or Bella, but they are the most common dog names. Many of the dogs at the park will already be saddled with those words.

Your Hungarian dog is special. Name him something authentic and unique.
