Help With AKC Name
 

Hi everyone. I am going to send in my lab pups AKC papers soon, but would like to come up with a clever registered name for him. He is a chocolate lab and his name is Hunter.
Anyone have some ideas to use for his registered name?

I try to use the sire and dame's name in conjuction with the registered name. My current GSP is Dutch Drops Frauline Gretta. Dutch came from the sire which I can't recall his full name right now. Drops came from the mom whose full name was Von Chocolate Drops. I added Frauline because it's a German female. Well and Gretta is her name.

I don't know if this will help, but I use names that pertain to what they hunt most. My female is, Cinnamon and Spice Uplander (Cinnamon) and her pup is Cinnamon's Sage-Upland Birdinator (Sage). I named my female Cinnamon, because of the color of her coat and decided to stick with a spice name, when I named Sage. I will probably name my next pup, Cayenne.

I had the same problem,I sent off my chocolate labs papers off about a week or so ago. It took me about a month to send them off because I had to think of a name first. His name is Fudge Hill's Magnum Jay. The name Magnum has been in his pedigree for generations so I decided to keep it going. I'm geeting a black female in June out of Smokey Bears Grand Kodiak, I'm thinking of naming her Fudge Hill's Kodiak Raven. Or something to that effect. My way of naming a dog is to rack my brain for severel months until I get it<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>. I guess I don't have any good ides for you. Sorry,I know what your going through. But in time the perfect name will come to you.

Hey I saw a picture of your pup on the other thread. It looks like we have very similar pups. Mine is a chocolate also and he will be 14 weeks on Sunday. If I can figure out how to post a picture here I will, my pup looks a lot like yours. :)

amitydeerslayer, I have a whole album with gobs of pictures of him. I have one of his sire and dam as well. Jay's album is http://www.webphotos.com/list_photos...&smi=2&a=50137 . And his parents album is http://www.webphotos.com/list_photos...&smi=2&a=36602 . His sire is a very beautiful dog(in person)the picture really doesn't do him justice.

A lot of good suggestions here. My personal favorite is to use the format:
Your name + personality adjective + Dog's Name

For example, it your last name is Smith and your dog's name is Hunter, go with something like:
Smith's Sassy Hunter

Or change Sassy to some other term that describes the pup's personality.

Hope this helps.

As most every one else, I used both dame and sire.

My Lab is (Bonnie's Jacko &quot;Jake&quot; Von Brody)

My English Bulldog is (Lady Madonna's Heidi of Citizen Cane)
