Of course, these are not all the nicknames you can give a German shepherd. There are many more. You may not want to take any of them. After all, each owner is able to come up with a name for his pet. For example, the names Mukhtar and Rex are popular. That was the name of the dogs from the series of the same name, loved by the audience. You can also take names from mythology (Greek, Scandinavian). The most important thing is that you and your pet like the name, because he will continue to live with him. If you take a German Shepherd puppy from the kennel, then perhaps he already has a name, as the breeders are required to give names to their wards. But when the four-legged friend is with you, then you have the right to change the nickname.Rare nicknames for a dog (for a German shepherd)
