Great…I've killed more trees

    So I FINALY got Charlie all registered and papered with AKC. Unfortunately we had a big old issue with his name. :eek: I caught it right away on my AKC page. So being the diligent environmentalist that I try to be I sent an e-mail right away to have Charlie’s name corrected. Received an e-mail that they had fixed the name and would send out a corrected pedigree and certificate. Unfortunately the name was still incorrect. So I got to call and talk with a very nice gentleman who fixed the issue and assured me I would be receiving a corrected pedigree and certificate. I told a friend this and he said, Great now Charlie can be a super spy with good fake names. I can only assume that it aught to be a blast when I register Zaire as her name is entirely in Swahili. :D

    Many of us have total Swahili names for our registered names…. Check out Mickii's registered name... Zuri Ti-Tanza Wazi Ajabu

    Beautiful…what does it translate to... go figure it probably will be painless with her. I Figure it was just a crazy fluke. It's not like Charlie's name is super tough: Avatar's Charlemagne Veritas. Of all the problems it was with the word veritas. :D

    Zuri is the breeders Kennel name, Ti - is for Tri color, Tanza is my kennel name, Wazi is loosely translated as Obvious, and Ajabu is Magic. Kristii's name is Tanza's Kenyetta (Kenyetta means sings alot… which she does NOT, ggg)

    Nice. Katie was kind of put off when I told her I was going to name Zaire a Swahili name, but she came around when I explained to her what the name meant. Nyonda Zaire Usharifu "Beloved Nobility of Zaire" <g>She is proving not to be much of a talker to me, but oh boy does she chat with Charlie if she thinks he is ignoring her. :D</g>

    To you

    It seems to me there are a couple of issues here. I don't think a shelter wants just any JoeBloe walking in one day to say "hey I'd like to help by walking your dogs". The shelter needs to know something about its volunteers though a criminal check might be a bit much. If someone has been volunteering at a shelter for some time so the staff knows them and now new policies are being put into effect, then the shelter should have some sort of informational meeting/handout for all its volunteers so they know what and why. And even when volunteers have been accepted, some mini-training should be included for handling dogs. Many shelter dogs have been abused so I wouldn't want a volunteer who grew up under the "old" system of training with spanking and collar yerking now handling a special needs dog. Actual certification for dog walkers - no - the government intrudes enough.

    Something similar was at a big dog show in my area a few years ago. The one I ran my dog through had an A-frame and tunnels as well as the jumps and tire. It was a blast!

    Congrats on your engagement! I know Courtney Thorne-Smith had her B and her other dog in the wedding. I think B's look great in tuxedos;-)

    Actually - I posted it on the Podengo group - lots of members in the area and looks like might be something from one of the hunt packs (or a golden GSD mix) Maybe one of them will bite.

    You all make great points and I agree with you all. BUT I still think the public is adding to the population pet overcrowding, by having intact dogs. This should not in my opinion effect show dogs, as this is a whole other catagory. But, if they can give the distinction to cars, motorcycles, and trucks, why can't they give the distinction to show dogs, pet dogs and the like? I mean, its not brain surgery. I do understand everyone having issues with across the board pet legistation…but I think it can be broken up into sections, and handled according. Again, We need responsible show breeders and this is a totally different sect from the bubba's that just put 2 dogs together.
