Naming a litter of pups
« on: August 02, 2012, 12:03:41 PM »
Hi. Has anybody used the kennel club service, where they name the litter of pups for you? If so did you like the names chosen and how do they come up with them, are they computer generated :dunno:
It's hard to come up with original names.

What about the girls after flowers and the boys after herbs?

^^ I say that as one of the men at work has 2 daughters named after flowers...all his grandaughters are named after flowers and they have one grandson and the running joke was "will he be called Basil?" - incidentlly he wasn't haha.

Or trees?

Or olympic winners? - very in theme for the moment?

They all have pet names. One of the little girls is called Tess. She is named after Tessa Sanderson as she runs around the lounge twice as fast as the others lol. :005:

The trouble is unless you have an affix, I expect lots of other breeders will be thinking along the same names re the Olympic theme

I'm sure COL can help with names.  If you lets us know there pet names, colour  etc.

Nicola's right - you could post photos on the Safe Arrivals board but only if you meet our conditions for posting. If you do, then just send me a PM with more info including details of the health test results for both parents :blink:

As far as the KC's naming service is concerned, I've seen litters where this has been done and the names tend to be quite boring and bland. Naming a litter is one of the fun parts of breeding so I'd make up your own names if possible. You can check if your names would be acceptable by using this link (although names can still be rejected later even if they appear ok): http://www.the-kennel-club.org.uk/services/public/namecheck/Default.aspx.
