Every 3 months the UK Kennel Club publishes a booklet for each of the 7 groups called the "Breed Record Supplement". Basically this booklet lists ALL litters registered in the previous 3 months, parents, colour etc, etc. Also tells us how many litters a girl has had, when she last had a litter and then will show you total litters/pups so in Darcy's mums case this was shown as 2/3 I.E 2 litters totalling 3 puppies. Other information to be gleaned is change of ownership, Challenge Certificates awarded, Championships awarded, also results from KC/BVA eye tests, the booklet is a gold mine of information and well worth getting hold of for future reference if you are planning on getting into breeding/showing seriously!
What really tickles me though is the names that some people give these dogs of ours! You basically have the show breeder with their kennel names and themes, then the "shadier" folks who register anything up to and over 12 litters in the 3 months the booklet covers, to the family who's pet girl had a litter.
I sometimes wonder what they were thinking of when they decided to name a puppy
"Pongo Dongo"
"Smarties have The Answer"
"Rooney Right Foot"
"Scarlett Pineapple"
"Lady Cuckoo"
"Gasabang Fluff"
"Dancing on the Ceiling"
"Noodle Doodle"
"Blue Snowy Owl"
"Dinky Doughnut Daisy"
"Heffa Flump"
"Precious Panda"
"Puggy Princess"
"Brave Big Wig"
These are the Registered names for these dogs, I have picked out only a handful for you! There are some incredible names in there too mind you and I was miffed to find out a fellow breeder has had the same idea as me for a theme for naming their puppies and used 3 of the names I had picked out for Crystal's puppies! Grr! Back to the drawing board on that I guess!!
Do any of your dogs have strange Kennel Club names? If so what are they? would love to hear them!!
