American Alsatian Dog Names

Introduction

It is always exciting when you bring a new dog into your life. Is the American Alsatian you adopted your first dog? Are getting a new pet after the passing of a loyal and true canine? Whatever the reason, bringing them home is always a life-changing event. It is hard enough choosing a dog from the multitude of breeds out there, but once you have one then you have a decision to make about a name. What name will you bestow on your new buddy? Sometimes we have an idea for a name when we choose our dog, but once we get to know our new companion, the name just doesn't seem to fit! The best tag for a pup grows with the dog. For example, Precious may suit a tiny puppy but if that pup grows into a tough, solid looking American Alsatian - then it doesn't really honor the breed. We have hunted high and low for some names that would be ideal for your beautiful American Alsatian. Go through our list and choose your favorites; after that, it is just a matter of sorting out which name is best. Not an easy task, but it will be worth it!

American Alsatian Dog Names in Pop Culture

Featured Famous American Alsatian Dog

Lady

Who didn't love the direwolves on the epic Game of Thrones? These impressive canines were really the stars of the show in the opinion of many of the fans. A surge in popularity of this gorgeous breed was seen as a result of the acting skill, beauty, loyalty and intelligence of the dogs that portrayed the direwolves. They weren't only fan favorites though, the actors and actresses of Game of Thrones came to respect and love the dogs, too. In fact, one Game of Thrones star, Sophie Turner, adopted the dog that played the part of Lady, her screen character's direwolf. Turner played the role of Sansa Stark and when Lady was killed off in the series, Sophie couldn't bear to be parted from her and adopted her as a companion.

The direwolves in the series are super smart, large impressive dogs and ever since the Game of Thrones series, everyone wants a direwolf. Enter the American Alsatian which is the closest thing you can possibly get to the direwolf of old. As it happens, there is a project known as the Dire Wolf Project controlled by the National American Alsatian Breeders Club along with the help of expert breeder Lois Schwarz that is slowly bringing back the appearance and bone structure of the large prehistoric direwolf through selective breeding of the American Alsatian. While this dog is a fully domesticated dog, they retain many wolf-like characteristics, such as their high intelligence. They are super smart, they are eager to learn, and like their movie star counterparts in Game of Thrones, they are very attractive looking. With thick beautiful coats, deep and expressive wolf-like eyes, they are a true and loyal companion who forms extremely close bonds to their owners and families. These modern American Alsatians look just like a wolf, that is how good their breeding has been. And with names inspired by the Game of Thrones such as Ghost, Summer, Lady and Zunni, who could blame anyone for falling in love with such a magical breed as the American Alsatian - the return of the direwolf!

American Alsatian Dog Name Considerations

Apart from choosing a name because you like the sound of it and it seems to suit your dog, there are other considerations to make when choosing a suitable name. Pick a name that is easy to call out - two syllables are usually easy for your dog to respond to. Keep in mind the shortening of any long name, as people tend to shorten long names and you may not like the sound of the shortened version. Don't rush choosing a name, your dog will survive without one for a few days after you first bring them home. See what this new dog's character is like - doing so may give you some ideas and a direction to take. An active American Alsatian would suit a name like Hurricane or Comet, but a couch potato would be better named Mellow, Clover or something restful. One more thing, you want the name to be different to any commands you may train your dog with. For example, Moe may sound too close to the command No, or Kit may be confused with Sit. Think carefully and enjoy the process of choosing a name for your new buddy!
