The size of your dog on paper does not necessarily decide their personality, as any small dog lover knows.
Many tiny pups have a large presence, even though they need stairs to jump up to your room. And a perfect way to celebrate all of the many facets of their tiny being is the name you give them.
If you opt for a name that refers to the tiny size of your dog or one that recognizes that your pet is more than meets the eye, the best small dog names are those that match in all their small but mighty glory with your particular furry friend.
Do you need help choosing the correct one? In one spot, we’ve gathered our favorite small dog names, so scroll down for lots of inspiration for naming.
