  2. I can think of "Bantay" and "Tagpi."

    Most Filipinos now prefer "Americanized" names for their dogs.  My own dogs' names are Pepper & Whiskey.  I also had a dog once named Shadow and our female Dalmatian was called Dalma.  Our current dog is named Kenshin, after Samurai X.

    Maybe you can call your female dog Diyosa.  Or Dyesebel.  Or other famous Filipino characters.  My cousin once named her cat Darna.  

  3. If your dog is a bit fat you can call it:

    1. Malusog (healthy)

    2. Batchoy

    3. Taba

    all of which indicated fatness

    Some doggy pinoy names you can use are :

    Bantay (guard), Bagsik (Fierce), Butsokoy, Pangit (ugly - for ugly but cute looking dogs), Bibo (pinoy brand name of hotdog also means energetic)...

    Hope this helps.. :D

  4. Pido,

    Bantay (guard)

    Tagpi (Patches - like for spotted dogs)

    Abe

    Kulas

    Dagul

    Bogart

    Rambo (lol)

    Itim (black)

    Puti (white)

    Putot (referring to a dog with very very very short tail)

    Baldo

    Buloy (Parokya Ni Edgar's song)

    Bok

  5. If you want your dog has a very unique name...go ahead and name it as follows;

    if your dog is black, name it "whitie"

    and if your dog is white, name it "blackie"

    LOL!!!
