Hunting dogs are among the most popular and loyal dogs—in fact, many modern dog breeds find their origins in hunting. These include groups like hounds, terriers, cur-type dogs, and gun dogs. That means there’s a huge variety of size, shape, and personality among hunting dogs, from pointers to dachshunds to beagles.

We’ve given a lot of thought to this list of best hunting dog names. There’s enough variety to fit any dog, from a spunky Huckleberry to a tough Zeus. We selected these names for dogs with the naturally alert, active, and sporting temperament of the hunting dog.

The names were handpicked by digging through our Rover.com database of dog names nationwide. Many of these names are unique, while others show up on the list of top 100 dog names.
