H_Hounds   10 #13 Posted January 3, 2012 Hi  Is your breeder allowing you to choose her KC name?  Breeders that show and breed as a business have a registered kennel name. My harlie dane is called Dardanus Blue Opel and all of her family have Dardanus in their KC name so if these dogs ever win future shows they breeding is recognised by them. Her proper name is Skye.  When I bred her it was just a one off so I didn't want to pay for the registered kennel name so they all had to have different names and you can't repeat any words. Bella is called Grand Azureous Belle for big blue beauty cos she is a big, blue and beautiful  Do you plan to show her?  When can you take her home?  Terri Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
SpeedDemon   10 #14 Posted January 3, 2012 You don't HAVE to use any part of the kc name for her regular name. Our St Bernard is called Alpenine Amazing Mo but we call her Holly as we got her near christmastime. Some of my cats n kittens have been named using their registered name but it's all personal choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
H_Hounds   10 #15 Posted January 3, 2012 The Lhasa Apso originated in Tibet in the Himalayan Mountains hundreds of years ago. It's named after the sacred city of Lhasa. For years the breed remained solely bred in Tibet by holy men and nobles. It was used as a watchdog in temples and monasteries. The dog was considered sacred. The belief was that when its master died the master's soul entered the Lhasa Apso's body. The breed was not easy to come across and were hard to buy. The dogs were considered good luck to their owners. In 1933 the dogs spread to other parts of the world thanks to C. Suydam Cutting, who introduced the first Lhasas to the USA as gifts from the 13th Dalai Lama. Tibet's ruler would present them to visiting foreign diplomats. The Lhasa Apso first appeared in Britain in the 1920's and in the USA in 1930. It was first recognized by the AKC in 1935.   Hi  This is on http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/lhasaapso.htm . It says they were considered to be good luck to their owners. Why don't you find the tibetan word for lucky and have something like lucky little princess? or princess penelope of luck?  It's quite fun thinking of names Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
pinklady   10 #16 Posted January 3, 2012 The 'breeder' has only mated the bitch once - and doesn't plan to breed from her again - she doesn't show her dog either, she's a family pet. The breeders letting me choose my own KC name. This is all very new to me, I've never bothered registering before Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
H_Hounds   10 #17 Posted January 3, 2012 That's quite nice of her to let you choose.  There is a name check service on the kennel club wesite so you can check that you can have the name you have chosen. If you don't check it and it is already taken the kennel club will return the form and they can be quite slow. It also gives you the guidlines like how many letters you can have. It's on this link  http://www.the-kennel-club.org.uk/services/public/namecheck/Default.aspx  good luck choosing!  Terri Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Binga   10 #18 Posted January 4, 2012 Is the breeder registering all the pups in the litter? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
pinklady   10 #19 Posted January 4, 2012 Thanks hounds The breeder is only registering the pups if the new owners want the registration - for an additional charge to cover, out of 6 pups, 5 have been chosen and 4 (incl me) want registering - so she's waiting till next week and registering them all together Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

beansforyou   10 #22 Posted January 4, 2012 It's actually frowned upon for breeders to charge to register their litters, and you can get struck off for it, as far as i remember.  The breeder should register her litter of puppies, then you get the form with your pup to transfer ownership to you.
