Omg I'm dying over here. I'm no good at waiting. She's 1 week old today, only 7+ more to go...this whole finding puppies before they are born makes for a long wait!!
She's so tiny! The waiting is a killer! I had to wait 6 weeks for my Eden (found and picked her at 2 weeks) I could not wait to get her home! Best of luck to you and I can't wait to see more pics as she grows!
I'm going out to the club in Marion, NY this weekend to watch. I'm very interested in IPO but I know nothing about it. I want to meet Eros one of these days.
I once got a dog from a breeder who -- after I had bought him, brought him home, and named him -- called to tell me he was from an F litter and I had to name him something that started with a F.
I'd named him Stryker, with a Y, thought it was a **** cool name, and wasn't about to change it. I kind of got into it with the breeder on the phone, and she even suggested I bring the pup back.
Which didn't happen, although I did give in and register him as F-Stryker. He was a great dog though. We tell Stryker stories in the family to this day.
Oh, and I've never watched Game of Thrones either.
theme registrations are common in American Show line litters....
All European registries and breeders use the litter letter and kennel name to track their litters and breedings - If I see an older E---- Mohnwiese dog, I know it is by Tom and out of Aline Mohnwiese......if I see a B or C Wildhaus dog, I know it is from Ernst Weinbergblick and Ira Argatos and Chris is the breeder....if I see a pedigree with an N or P or Q Heiligenbrosch - I KNOW they are Half Rubachtal and Ina Haus Gard.....
You don't buy a Chevrolet - and then change your DMV registration to a Ford....it is what it is.
People can call dogs whatever they wish....Registered names are identifiers to the rest of the people who may know the breed as to who produced the dog and what it's lines are...
Using someone's kennel name randomly out of the pedigree is very very poor manners....I have seen people register their AKC puppy with the kennel names of Porhranici Straze, haus Antverpa and Tiekerhook - and then there is mass confusion, occasionally some anger!, and argument about the origin and quality of the dog....at this point, many breeders are moving to registering the whole litter in their own name and letting the new owners do a transfer instead of handing out applications.
I guess I just don't care how my dog is registered. She's a faulted color so it will never mean anything. And she will only know her call name. As far as I'm concerned her name is only what I personally use.
