Cockapoo, Chiweenie, Neapolitan Mastiff, and 5 other dog breeds that double as names for your dih
So, it’s time to introduce your little man to your special someone. First impressions matter, so to make sure you have the perfect name for your dih when that all-important introduction finally happens, we’ve provided a list of names that convey a variety of attributes, so you’re sure to find the perfect one for your dih.
#1: Cockapoo
If you have a cute and friendly dih, the name “cockapoo” is for you! The name is both sweet and subtle, but still clear in meaning, which means an easy introduction.
#2: Chiweenie
“Chiweenie” is for the fun-loving, spunky dih. It might be small, but boy does it pack a personality!
#3 Neapolitan Mastiff
Is your dih both classy and girthy? Does it have lots of wrinkles and loose skin? Consider naming it Neopolitan Mastiff! “Neopolitan” means a native or inhabitant of Naples, but sounds vaguely sophisticated, so the name is a great choice if you are Italian or if you envision your dih wearing a monocle. “Mastiff” speaks for itself.
#4: Giant Schnauzer
Another great name for a great dih, great in this case meaning giant. “Giant Schnauzer” conveys not only your dih’s size, but also its commanding presence. Depending on your dih’s temperament, nicknames could include “G-Schnau” or “Zizi.”
#5: Russian Toy
Conversely, if your dih is on the smaller side (no shame in the micropenis game!), “Russian Toy” could be a good option. It adds an element of uncertainty and danger, while keeping the connotation light and playful.
#6: Chow chow
“Chow chow” is another option for a silly, playful dih. It indicates that your dih is not a threat, but instead a friendly little companion.
#7: Hovawart
Have a wart? Choose Hovawart! It’s important to disclose your dih’s wartiness from the outset so there are no surprises later on. Additionally, the name implies possible wizardry.
#8: Xoloitzcuintli
Pronounce this one however you want – no one really knows how, and that’s part of the fun. Impress your special someone with this exotic and exciting name. Bonus points if your dih actually looks like this dog breed!


Interesting mix of dog names! I wonder if the owners chose their dogs based on breed names or just for fun.
