Dogs were named in a great variety of ways as the preferences and whims of the owner are added, in the case of dogs, to the selection criteria indicated for other animals.
According to Azkue, dogs in our villages had Spanish names up until the 1930s: ''León, Listo, Linda, Sultán, Moro''... From then onwards, the inhabitants of the towns began to give them Basque names<ref>Resurrección Mª de AZKUE. ''Euskalerriaren Yakintza''. Volume I. Madrid, 1935, p. 50.</ref>. Nowadays, at the end of the 20<sup>th</sup> 20th century, Basque and Spanish names are given to dogs throughout the Basque Country.
