Ellaque asked:
I’m getting a Vizsla puppy (a boy) today and I’ve been planning for this for almost six months. I’m really excited and I have everything prepared except for his name. The ones I’ve been considering are Samson, Captain, Tank, Kumo, Rufus, and Loki. What do you guys think?
Out of your options, I think I like Tank the best. Very fitting for a male Vizsla in my opinion.
Congrats.
(In order from best to worst):
Samsun
Kumo
Loki
Tank
Captain
Rufus
Wait until you get the pup. Sometimes after spending just a few hours or few days with your pup a name will just fit/click.
After visiting the litter we were choosing a pup from there was one little guy who cuddled up to me real sweet yet ran around like a rocket compared to his litter mates. Hence, Rio Rocket is what we named him. Rio {ree-o} is Spanish for river and we live on the Clinton River. It just fit!
When we adopted Delilah at age 4 she was not yet registered with AKC so we got to choose her AKC name. Didn’t take but 3 days and we sent the paperwork in — Dancin Dame Delilah. Whenever we got ready to go outside or for a walk there’s this little “happy dance” she does and a friend said of her trotting across the lawn, “she has such a royal gate, you should show her.”
You have some good choices. But I think after a day or two with your pup something will just reach out and grab you.
by brother has one named Toad…lol.
You should get your pup home and wait about a week. We own 2 Vizsla and know about 50 others. Some names fit the dog and some don’t. The dog’s build and personality will help with the name. A small Vizsla with the name Tank or Samson would not fit. These names seem more for Great Danes or Ridgebacks.

Ellaque, I haven’t had any problems with my vizsla.
