There’s a high chance that you’re not really going to let your dog hunt. But we can understand why you want a name that suits the hunting breed you’ve got. On the contrary, if you’re really going to take your dog hunting, we have some really good names for you that will suit the aggression, passion, obedience and intelligence of your dog.
From ancient Egypt to medieval Europe, dogs have always been right by their human’s side, tracking, retrieving, and sometimes (let’s be honest) getting distracted by a squirrel. And when it comes to hunting, some breeds have just set the benchmark too high. Like a pointer with the precision of a sharpshooter or a hound whose nose is more reliable than your GPS.
Now that you’ve got one of these, they deserve as perfect as their skills. So, here are our top favorites -
Male Hunting Dog Names
Tracker – For the one with a nose for the trail
Hawkeye – For the laser-focused (You can also go for ‘Hawk’)
Apollo – Inspired by the Greek god of archery for the precision
Ranger – Always patrolling
Scout – The name will weirdly be a command as well
Sherlock – Who’s better than the greatest detective himself
Bullet – Fast and sleek
Thor – Big, bold and never afraid of a storm
Sniper – For obvious reasons
Tank – Rugged and heavy-duty
Spartan – If trained properly, you can literally make your dog go ‘HA-OOH! HA-OOH! HA-OOH!’
Forrest – For the one that never stops
Bane – A Batman fan?
Camo – For the one that blends with people and the environment like a pro
Female Hunting Dog Names
While they say that male dogs are better at hunting than females because of their better physical strength, and higher aggression levels, female dogs can be quite good as well. Some say that they have a higher tendency to please their masters and hence can be great companions.
Here are some great names that can match the speed, agility and obedient nature of female hunting dogs –
Artemis – Greek goddess of hunt (This has got to be the ultimate huntress name)
Storm – Or you can go with ‘Stormfront’ if you’re a ‘The Boys’ fan.
