    We decided to spruce things up and fix some things under the hood. If you notice any issues, feel free to contact us as we're sure there are a few things here or there that we might have missed in our upgrade.

Dog Names

Some breeders designate a letter to represent that litter. If it is the first litter they might use "A" so all the puppies in that litter's name usually start with an A and include the kennel name. It doesn't mean that is what you have to call them at home is more about their registered name.

U2 de Italica Terrae goes by Hemi (themed litter of bands but couldn't see me calling everyone in and saying you too, U2 ;) )
Danae goes by her registered name

We haven't decided what we are going to do with our litter but if it is themed then we don't request that the puppy be called by its registered name, they are more than welcome to call the puppy at home whatever they want but in show catelogues, peidgrees, etc. the name that is shown will be the registered one.

Both my breeders have said I could change the call, how ever I like the registered names as call names.
We have shortened Aurora to Raw, and Charybdis to Cribs.
But on paper it is Aurora del' Agreste and Antiquity's Charybdis
Both breeders have been old school and go by the traditional A,B,C litters. However I believe Lisa started with B over A with her first litter, lol, had to many B names she liked.

Thank you guys for the explanation :D

Miel, the dogue, is french for honey; Archie, my AMB that recently past, was named after Archie Buncker (looked just like him); MiMi (shi-zu/maltese) because my wife is obsessed with everything french.

Dang and there I go again singing the kibbles and bits song. Neighbours to my parents had a breeding pair Miss Piggy aand Buckwheat. :)

You just have to learn to work around the bfs... mine said no more after the Rotties, then he bought a truck so I bought a dog :p After meeting the breeders dogs and getting Hemi it wasn't long before he was the one talking about getting another :)

My fiancé and I like
Castle for a male
Nessy for a female
For a BM or EM

But we have 3 female ferrets
Mosby because I like the characters last name from How I Met Your Mother
Olly came up with that one out of the blue and because we both liked it
Puhk because i thought it went well with Mosby, and from Shakespeare

3 cats
Odin- we were going with the popular gods on him.
Smudge- she's black with some brown/black smudges in her coat
Mouse- an ironic cat name and she use to be so quiet.
