Tiny size and big schemes meet in this English name for a girl dog. A pixie is a small, mischievous fairy, and the name is made for little dogs whose plans are far larger than they are. It has a cute sparkle to it, light on the tongue and full of plotting energy.
Pixie suits a tiny, clever girl who is always one step ahead of the treat jar's location. Owners who enjoy a small dog with a grand agenda will find this name perfect. Its background is half the charm. Pixie comes to us from English roots, and it has kept that flavour on the way into the dog park. The cute shelf is where it lives in our collection, true to a feel that is soft and sweet sounding, built for a dog who gets away with things.
