My affix is "Caprilli". Major Caprilli was an important person in the equestrian history and has altered a lot for the better. One of his achievements was the modern show jumping position (weight off the horses back with rains freely given over a fence) as opposed to the old English hunting style which was heavy in the saddle with the upper body leaning back and holding on to the rains. This was not only relevant to me because I used to earn my living from riding but also as I am quite a free spirit and would hate to be held back:)
Caprilli was still my second choice as I started breeding while I still lived in Germany where my affix was "Millview" - named after the farm that we own back home. So far I only ever bred Dalmatians but it would be nice to breed the occasional litter of Cocker Spaniels in the future. Having said that - we did not select our puppy purposely for this and if she should not develop as hoped or pass all her test and other "must haves" then I would not go out and buy another just so I could get started.
