It took me weeks to settle on a name, and I went through countless lists of "cute" and "popular" options before I finally found something that felt right.
But for a dog with such striking colors, it seemed like a perfect fit. The black and tan coloring reminded me of the rich, spicy flavors of black pepper. And let's face it, Pepper's personality was definitely spicy – always up for an adventure and a little mischief!

And when you do find the perfect name, remember to repeat it often and use positive reinforcement so your dog learns to recognize their name.
