Naming Your Pedigreed Dog
Naming a dog can be one of the most enjoyable aspects of dog ownership. Your pet needs a name they can easily recognize when you give commands. However, if you’re planning to enter your purebred dog in competitions, selecting a name for their American Kennel Club (AKC) certificate involves more thought. Let’s explore the process.
Including the Kennel Name
The kennel where your dog originated often becomes a part of their official show name. Typically, it appears as the first part of their name on the certificate. If your dog comes from a show kennel, the kennel's name should lead, like "Dexy’s Fido." If you bred the dog, you’ll use your own kennel name. A combination such as "Dexy's Fido of [Your Kennel Name]" can reflect both their origins and current home.
The Importance of Originality
Originality is crucial when naming a show dog. The AKC prohibits duplicate names and will require a change if your choice is already in use.
Consider unusual names with creative spelling to stand out in show catalogs and avoid duplication. For instance, "Dexy's Hi-Jac" cleverly plays on the word hijack. It’s catchy and original, providing a potential theme for future advertising, like "He’ll hijack your heart." Fun, right?
Choosing a Call Name
After deciding on your dog's official name, you still need a shorter "call name" for everyday use. From our example "Dexy's Hi-Jac," the call name "Jack" is a natural choice, while still connecting back to the AKC registered name.
Now that you understand the essentials of naming your dog, you're ready to choose a name that shines both at home and in the show ring.
