Call/Registration Names

Basenji Puppy Pen
  • Same with mine… I didn't put their "titles" with them....Registered Name: Zuri's Ti-Tanza Wazi Ajabu, Call Name Mickii She is MBIF DC in front and SC, LCM 7 at the end
    Registered Name: Bushbabies Obviously Jazz, Call Name OJ, he is CH in the front
    Registered Name: Tanza's Kenyetta, Call Name Kristii, She is DC in front and SC, LCM at the end
    Registered Name: Tanza's Almazi Madini, Call Name Crystal, She is DC in front and SC,CD,RA,CGC at the end
    Registered Name: Emerant Fopaw TriWizard At Tanza, Call name Kobey and he is JC and CGC at the end...
    These are only a few of our "kids".....

    And many of the names, both registered and call were decided before they were born...

  • @lvoss:

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

    Exactly!!!! or Rally…

  • @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:

    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).

    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

    @Buddys: I agree, well said Robyn. A very well rounded reply, and I appreciate your time in explaining the options that are out there. I am not one who advocates adopting ONLY from a shelter or rescue. I love to hear that it happens, but totally respect the choice of wanting a pedigree. I just hope that anyone who breeds for what ever reason does follow responsible guidelines for the prospective new owners, health and welfare of the puppies, dams and sires, and of the wholesomeness(?) of the breed of choice. I do have a waiting list for the future puppies (besides the ones that myself and the co breeder are keeping.) I also have a contract that states for any reason the puppies are welcome back at any time for any reason and i highly urge this to my potential owners (i say required but we all know that people fall through loops when you say required) anyways All of my dogs are health tested and the sire is health tested too. Fanconi, eyes, thyroid, and the hips I am waiting for results but she isnt in heat yet so i hope i will get it before they are bred. Trust me, I also know how rescues are. I have rescued (www.foreverfriendsrescue.webs.com) since 2008 when i rescued my first dog scheduled to be put down that day i went into the pound, and i never really stopped) so i know the effects that bad breeders can have on the dog population. Which is why we need to have more responsible breeders out there. Ones who do the health testing, ones who care where there puppies go, ones who want to help the breed, ones who give a $h!t. I love this breed. They are my world and i just cant live without them. They chose me. I chose them. Its the only breed that is right for ME. and I know this. I love showing (only been to a few so far, as i am fairly new) but i love it and i enjoy meeting new people that share the love of basenjis too and I enjoy the fun and sport of it. I really want to do what is right with breeding, which is why i have waited to find a good breeder to help me along and to help guide me as my mentor. Miah is a wonderful dog, so close to standard. and so pretty. nice pedigree and the most supurb temperament also. With my mating (dorsey x miah) I expect great things! Me and my co owner are really excited as is the sire owner. We cant wait for this litter. I know breeding is a huge controversy because of all the unwanted pets in the world, but i have been there with rescueing and if i truely didnt feel like my dog was worthy of it, and i truely didnt feel like I could do it CORRECTLY, i honestly wouldnt. but thank you for your input. I know you care, as do we. but i really am trying to do it right. Spent lots of money getting tests done, and finding a really nice bitch to start with, and getting the knowledge. (I got my first basenji 11 years ago! and i have researched and experienced the whole time!) After 11 years, i feel i am finally ready to take the step and breed my bitch to start my kennel where i want to continue to show and create loving, family pets. as well as fun things like coursing and agility, etc..

    Although "NO" became what Shaye most heard, along with " drop it" (she's too quick for "leave it," so "drop it" has replaced that) and "get off the table" and "stop digging the screens" (on the porch), lately we have been firmly saying her name, then squirting her in the face with a squirt bottle. Amazing how well that works - of course the entire house is getting wet but she's getting the picture that when we pick up the squirt bottle and show it to her, she'd best stop whatever it is she's doing. Gemma, of course, responds to "stop" and "leave it." Must be the "other" kind of dog in her….

    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!

    @mauigirl: I wanted to let you all know what I decided on. It's "Sulou's Tri the Good Life". It took quite the progression to get there. It had to go through "life of riley" to get the "good life" part. It was actually Susan's suggestion and was something I had thought about. And I was able to get "Tri" in there after all. It's kind of appropriate, we're always joking about what a hard life the dogs have, given that they seem to have sleep-a-thons oh, you know, every day!! But I'm pleased with it and couldn't have gotten there without your suggestions so thank you! Very cute name… I really like it

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