Classic male dog names

Thursday March 31st, 2011

Like khaki slacks or the well-tailored suit, these classic names don't go out of style, fit any male dog, and will never provoke a "huh?" at the vet's office or dog park. They're distinctively dog--you won't see people turning around when you call them--and they've served generations of dogs well. If you go for people names like Christopher, James, and Peter, check out these classic dog names.
