Call/Registration Names

Basenji Puppy Pen
  • @tanza:

    Exactly!!!! or Rally…

    Or Agility. or Sprint Racing.

    There are so many titling events that you can do with your dog.

  • This is a neat thread…

    My Bs are:
    Ch. Eldorado n Akuaba's Bejeweled (Ruby)
    Am. Can. Ch. Sternhimmels Generis Sui (Brando)

    Both show dog retirees, Ruby was adopted as an adult and Brando is a permanent foster (he's co-owned by Eldorado & Terry Boomir), so I did not name them. In my case, both kids' call names actually relate well to their registered names.
    Jewel - Ruby and Sui Generis (of its own kind) - Brando...Marlon Brando was definitely sui generis! The cool part for me with Brando is that one of my all time favourite movies is Apocalypse Now...so it is funny that I'd have a dog named Brando when I didn't name him.

  • So here are all of mine with all their titles.

    DC Sherwood's In The Nick Of Time SC, RN, LCM, JOR
    DC Sherwood's Shadow of the Moon SC, FCh, JOR
    FC Kinetic Sourcery SC, FCh, JOR
    FC Kinetic-Tanza Soul Music SC

    Co-owner of
    DC Kinetic's Enchanted Knight SC, FCh, JOR

  • EL D's (retired show champian) registered name (without titles) is Sonbar's Iced Identity (from a litter using stored sperm/ova hence all the Ice in their names: Imperial Ice, Indigo Ice, and Incandescent Icicle).

  • @wizard:

    Wasn't that frozen semen from Sally's Bravo? He was such an awesome dog.

    That is another thing with the registered names..sometimes it gives a clue to who the parents, and possibly grandparents are.

  • @Natalplum:

    Thanks! I updated Mick's info on the canine phenome project website and this is Mick's new registered name.

    Irish Dingo Leaper of Abington - Irish cause we're Mc's, Dingo cause he carries a tattered stuffed babydoll around, Leaper cause he leaps instead of jumps, and Abington because that's our town.
    What do you think?

    LMAO…....A DINGO'S GOT MY BABY!!

  • @lvoss:

    Just because he is neutered doesn't mean he has to remain title-less. You could give lure coursing a try.

    Yeah, I've thought of that – he does love to run, and he's way faster than Jazz. But I live an hour from the nearest events and I don't feel like I have the time to put into it for him and/or take away from family. Then there are gas prices.

    AND I'm a big chicken. When they were showing, I just had to show up with the dogs and Bryan did all the work. The thought of figuring out the hows and whens and all of lure coursing just intimidates me. :confused:

    It DOES seem a little unfair to him, because I am sure he would love it. :(

  • I use themes for every litter and sometimes the dog's call name matches the registered name, sometimes it doesn't.

    The dogs currently residing in my household:

    Sherwood's Red Baron "Baron"
    Sherwood's Red Alert "Logan"
    Sherwood's Timeswept Promises "Pippin"
    Sherwood's Something Special "Bindi"
    Sherwood's Secret Legacy "Jozie"

  • This is a fun thread :) Most of our dogs have some sort of connection between their registered name and call name.

    Am/Can Ch Select Quercus Rubra "Querk"
    Select Quercus Infinite Velocity JC "Ivy"
    Taji-Rennek-Platinum Quercus JC "Blondie"
    Ch Taji's Closing Bell at Quercus JC "Bella"
    Quercus Select Incandescent "Luna"
    Quercus Taji What In-Carnation? "Carl" but we usually call him "Hippo" or "Hippo/Carl" because that is what Ethan named him. He was a VERY big puppy at birth!

  • I think I'm one of the very few, but Medjai's registered name is Medjai.

    There was not really any reason to keep with the parent's name, as it was a BYB and his dogs are named simply their call name with a number. Except for the few that he bought elsewhere that have full 'regular' registered names. (Bandit Jones vs. Spicy-Kazor of Anza)

  • Quercus,
    To your question … "Wasn't that frozen semen from Sally's Bravo? He was such an awesome dog." That's exactly it - Brandy and Brite Northern Exposure.

  • THis is a fun thread. So here ar my pups names

    Charlie = Avatar's Charlemagne Veritas
    Or "Charlemagne's truth"
    And
    Zaire = Taji's Nyonda Zaire Usharifu
    or "Beloved nobility of Zaire"

    :D

  • And our two are:

    Sherwood's Little Red Corvette (Cory)
    Sherwood's Secret Keeper (Jayden)

    Pat

  • We don't generally do themes, but sometimes try to honor the sire or dam, and I like to look up Swahili words and include them when they suit the dog's personality. Usually the puppies kind of name themselves and then we're stuck trying to find a registered name that's not too far away…

    Ch. Illusion's Rio Grande of Dune, SDHR - Tex (His white neck mark was the shape of Texas when he was a baby)
    Ch. Fiber Optic Illusion - Fiber
    Ch. Lela Jamilli - Lela
    Ch. Nowata's Malkia Illusion - Kate (Malkia is Queen in Swahili, she was the only red in her litter, so she's named after Katherine Hepburn in The African Queen)
    Ch. Illusion's Lonestar - Dude (sired by a dog in Texas)
    Ch. Illusion's Moonlit Arrow, JC - Arrow (she had a black 'bullseye' in the middle of her white collar)
    Ch. Kalikids Kivulli Illusion - Kivu (Kivuli means shadow in Swahili)
    Illusion's Jelani Rio - JR (Tex and Arrow's red son, Jelani means mighty)
    Illusion's Queen in Moonlight - Queenie, although her handler calls her Cookie because she always pays attention to that! Tex and Arrow's black daughter.

    Terry

  • Oops, I will never be forgiven! I forgot one!

    Ch. Illusion's Mlia Amina - Mimi Mlia means striped, and was part of her mother's name. She was the only puppy to survive in her litter and she battled so hard that we named her after an ancient African female warrior, Amina.

    Terry

  • :p My first basenji was CH Brinidana Jones of Dune. His son is Foresses Indiana Jones.

    But ususally, I try to match the dog's personality.

    Sharla

  • As I havent had the time to show my little girl (bahh)
    her reg. name is Hajomi Eikobondo, call name Lycia

    (said Basenji is snoring loudly next to me)

    we are thinking on lure coursing though…

  • @ Lauren:
    Eikobondo? Are you sure about that? I know Kennel Ekibondo from Czech Republik….

    My dogs are

    Old Legend's Anam Chara - he is called Jester
    Old Legend's Banshee - she is called Banshee
    I was allowed both times to choose the registration and the callnames.

    And last but not least, Lis Glamur Velikaya Panda-Monkey, she is called Panda.

    Sometimes I wish, that breeders think about Kennel names and dog names BEFORE naming each of them, in order to get the names in the registration forms for Shows and other events. Sometimes it is hard to write that small and still in a way that others are able to read what they need to know....

    Regards,
    Esther

  • What determines the kennel name that will be used? The dam?

  • The breeder of the litter determines the kennel name that is used.

    So back to my dog's names:

    Sherwood's In The Nick of Time
    Sherwood's Shadow of the Moon

    Sherwood is the kennel name of their breeder Robyn Dubbert. There are several Sherwood dogs on the Forums.

    Kinetic Sourcery

    Kinetic is my kennel name.

    Kinetic-Tanza Soul Music

    Kinetic is my kennel name, Tanza is Pat's kennel name. This was a co-breeding and both kennel names are in the registered name.

    The litter that I am expecting on Halloween will be Kinetic and Enchanted since I am co-breeding the litter with my mom.

    You will figure it out, the personality will tell you. It may just be me, but I like two syllable names, just input here for thought….:)

    @YodelDogs: We have already established that Dexter's "breeder" was disreputable. How many litters did this person have? If she had more than one litter then it is entirely possible that the papers that were supplied with Dexter may not have even been from the litter he was in. Very True Robyn

    I want my basenji to have an African name, so I searched African names via Google. Most of the sites tell you what African language the name is from and what the name means. It was an enjoyable process!

    We once got a puppy with a 12 year old male (and an older female). For the first week the adults kept their distance from the girl pup, but within a couple of weeks my male and the pup were inseparable. She hung from his neck with those wicked teeth and he hardly ever growled at her, she was his little shadow and they adored each other. Adults will make terrible noise and flash fangs at the pups, especially at about 6 months when they are teenagers, but most pups ignore it all! Male dogs are usually very sweet and good with pups…females are, well, bitches.

    Robyn posted on a Facebook today, so perhaps she is just busy with other things.
