50 Girl Hunting Dog Names For Your Pack Leader

If you want to pay homage to your new dog’s roots, one of these hunting dog names for girls could be the perfect fit!

Dogs were one of the first animals to be domesticated by humans, and it’s thought that people and dogs first started hunting together around 20,000 years ago. Using their excellent sense of smell, dogs make awesome trackers that can locate targets and retrieve them when the hunt is over.
