✨ Our advice for choosing a first name

• Choose short names (2 syllables max) , which are easier for the animal to remember.
• Avoid names that are close to commands or common words (e.g., "No," "Sit")
• Choose a name you'll enjoy saying every day
• Take inspiration from its character, its color, or your passions

📅 And the official letter of 2025?

If you adopt a purebred puppy registered in the LOF (French Book of Origins), be aware that the official letter for the year 2025 is “V” . Your dog's first name must therefore begin with this letter to be officially recognized in its pedigree.

Examples of first names beginning with V:

• Males: Vince, Volt, Vasco, Victor, Vader
• Females: Vicky, Violette, Vanille, Velvet, Vega

👉 If your dog is not LOF, you are free to choose the name you like the most!
