  • misspodhradskyM

    I am trying to name my little puppy, PLUS my kennel. I had Podhradsky Kennels but now i am not sure i want to use that. i want a cute one but one that is easy to remember. ALSO id like to have help naming my basenji puppy. Had some help but need more! lol

    I am thinking of having her call name be African Princess (if it is not already taken) Right now i have the kennel name as Dreamlite kennels. So it would be Dreamlite's African Princess. Anyone have any ideas what a call name could be. I dont like princess as it alone. any ideas of either african countries/cities/towns, or another word for princess in another language. I am trying to find the perfect name. ill try to attach a pic of her! Hope I can have some help! Thanks!

    I actually do not get it…
    the pup needs a name and the kennel too , but the pup is bred by somebody else? or ???
    is that normal in the USA? we are not allowed to do that in the netherlands that is for sure.

    If I call you names, please note that I am not suffering the Tourette syndrom.

    Don't you have to use the names of the sire/dam for the formal AKC name?

    @sharronhurlbut:

    Not sure I understand your question? But no, you do not need to use names of the sire and dam for AKC.

    To address ibi_n_sane's question, it is up to the breeder if they require their kennel name to be used. Most all Back Yard Breeders (meaning less then responsible breeders) could care less about registrations of the pups let alone caring to put their name on a pup. All they care about is the money received and the profit they made.

    Sophie is really cute and Thanks for the replies. I THINK we have decided on going with the name Amirah. Prairieland's Arabian Princess as her registered name. Amirah means princess in arabic. :)

    I appreciate all the help with the names. and if we decide a different route i will repost it. Thanks again!!

    @Anubis's: Awesome! Thanks for the info! Im going to get right on that. Will be good to to know he's not a carrier as well in case I ever wanted to breed him. Now the strip testing, is it with a diabetes test thing? Do I test his blood or urine? Urine, you use Diabetic test strips for sugar in the urine. Here is a link for them on line. You don't really need the Ketone part, but sometime hard to find just the Urine strips. But do not just get the Ketone ones, they are not the correct ones. http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=37671&catid=11645&fromsrch=urine+test+strips

    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!

    @Andrew: Booger is FINALLY registered with his proper name. We've decided to use "Griffin" in our dogs' names as a reference to the half lion/half eagle mythical creatures. The Egyptians borrowed them from other civilizations & used them in art depicting hunting scenes. So Booger is now "Griffin's Pick of the Litter." Very nice choice…cute name. :)

    Good luck to you…I really mean that. :) One more thought on this... The most important people in my life are not just "yes men"...they can see when my judgment is clouded by emotion. We might not like what people have to say, but if you step back and look at comments objectively, you'll see that they are meant to help and to give a reality check. The senior members on this forum have HUGE EXPERIENCE...they have great advice, even if it hasn't always been what I've wanted to hear. Please...please...read lvoss' post and then read it again. To me, that is the clearest explanation as to what the danger is by rushing in.
