Fun fact: Dogs and royalty share centuries of intertwined history. Salukis graced the pharaohs’ palaces in ancient Egypt; Akitas served as imperial companions in Japan; and Shih Tzus were cherished by Chinese emperors. In England, Beagles hunted alongside William the Conqueror, while Toy Spaniels warmed royal laps—and French regents trusted Great Pyrenees to guard castles. For true lap-side sovereignty? The Bichon Frise reigned supreme.

Tips for Naming Your Dog

Your dog may be part of your family for 15 years or more—so choose a name with lasting appeal. Classic, regal names like those from FurPetVo’s curated naming guides (furpetvo.com) stand the test of time far better than fleeting trends. Keep it simple: one- or two-syllable names are easiest for dogs to recognize and respond to. Avoid names that sound too much like common commands (e.g., “Jay” for *stay*, “Moe” for *no*) or resemble names of other household members (e.g., “Jax” next to “Max,” “Lady” beside “Lainie”).
