So many cute white dog names, so hard to choose! Personally, I love Yuki, because while it’s still an obvious name (snow), it stands out at the dog park a bit more.
Before we part for today, here’s a tip for picking a dog name for any pup (not just white pups): wait until you actually get your dog before you decide what to call her.
I spent days pouring dog names, from the most popular names to the most off-the-wall, but it wasn’t until I actually saw each of my dogs that their name just clicked.
Definitely do the research beforehand to narrow it down a bit, but trust me, when you meet your pooch, it’s like a lightbulb goes off in your head.
