If you’re still looking for funny dog names, you might want to dig further into the world of puns, your favorite characters or celebrities, or even snack foods. And remember, funny dog names sometimes work because of a contrast: for example, a name like Bruiser for a tiny Chihuahua, or a name like Peaches for a big, tough dog breed.
