Our guide to the best sporty dog names
If you’re a big sports fan, getting a dog can be a great opportunity to express your superfan identity. And choosing a sporty dog name can be an excellent way to celebrate the athleticism and energy associated with many dog breeds. Border Collies, Australian Shepherds, and Siberian Huskies, are some of the many working dog breeds well-suited to sporty names that represent their impressive abilities and relentless determination.
Whether you’re craziest about football, ice hockey, baseball or soccer, being a sports fan means you appreciate competition, teamwork and ambition. If you’ve ever seen a group of Borders Collies carrying wood, or even just a Golden Retriever chasing a stick, you’ll see some of sport’s most admirable traits on display. And that’s what makes sporty dog names so appropriate for energetic pups.
For male dogs, there are so many classic sporty dog names to choose from that it’s hard to pick a favorite. Ace, meaning “expert”, is a firm favorite with dog owners everywhere. It’s such a positive, timeless and recognizable name to give to pups of all shapes and sizes.
We also adore the name Junior. It’s incredibly cute for young puppies, for obvious reasons, and we don’t consider dogs to ever necessarily outgrow this name, because it will always represent their place in the pack! And if those options don’t appeal to you, you could consider Striker instead. The name represents a goalscorer and pack leader, and is guaranteed to resonate with soccer and ice hockey fans.
For female dogs, we’re going to pitch a couple of golf names first. Birdie is a cute option for girls, and it lets people know that your pup is indisputably better than average! And along similar lines, we love the name Caddy for girls – because it represents the partnership and companionship that we love to share with our dogs.
And if tennis is more your thing, why not name your pup Rally? To us, it expresses consistency, determination and resilience – all traits that we love to associate with our furry companions.
