Greek Dog Names

"If you want the best seat in the house...
move the dog."
Author Unknown



Looking for Greek dog names? Start here in your search!

Have you considered Onassis, named for one of the most famous Greek tycoons of the 20th century? Remember the TV show Kojak? Then another favorite is Telly for Aristoteles "Telly" Savalas. Who loves ya, baby? (Did I just completely date myself with those two references?).





GREEK MUTTS HAVE RUN OF THE HOUSE

Dogs have been a part of Greek life since the gods and goddesses ruled Olympus. Today, some of the favorite dogs running around Greece are the Alopekis. Descendents of the first primitive dogs that appeared in Greece, these pups roam free and are now being carefully bred. Alopekis are proving themselves to be smart, friendly, and hardy canines.

When you've selected one of the Greek dog names, don't forget to pick out a dog ID tag for your pup! Learn why it's important to tag your dog.
