Originality Counts When Picking A Dog Kennel Name
One of the rites of passage, when dog owners get bitten by the bug and become exhibitors, then dog breeders, is choosing a kennel name that will be worn proudly by each promising purebred puppy they produce. A catchy, unique prefix always gets noticed; a silly kennel name selected in haste will elicit groans and noses held as if with an imaginary clothes pin. Not the effect you should be going for. There have been some wonderful dog kennel names over the years created by combining owners’ first names, or the names of their children or special dogs. Others choose a name with historical significance for their breed, or in honor of a favorite sport, hobby or geographical destination. We asked breeders how they arrived at their kennel names and got some great responses. They may amuse you… and even inspire you.
