Call/Registration Names

Basenji Puppy Pen
  • @JazzysMom:

    And keep the just plain ol' Jumoke South Pacific Keoki. Poor little guy had his career cut short by our decision to neuter. :(

    Just because he is neutered doesn't mean he has to remain title-less. You could give lure coursing a try.

  • Same with mine… I didn't put their "titles" with them....Registered Name: Zuri's Ti-Tanza Wazi Ajabu, Call Name Mickii She is MBIF DC in front and SC, LCM 7 at the end
    Registered Name: Bushbabies Obviously Jazz, Call Name OJ, he is CH in the front
    Registered Name: Tanza's Kenyetta, Call Name Kristii, She is DC in front and SC, LCM at the end
    Registered Name: Tanza's Almazi Madini, Call Name Crystal, She is DC in front and SC,CD,RA,CGC at the end
    Registered Name: Emerant Fopaw TriWizard At Tanza, Call name Kobey and he is JC and CGC at the end...
    These are only a few of our "kids".....

    And many of the names, both registered and call were decided before they were born...

  • @lvoss:

    Exactly!!!! or Rally…

  • @tanza:

    Exactly!!!! or Rally…

    Or Agility. or Sprint Racing.

    There are so many titling events that you can do with your dog.

  • This is a neat thread…

    My Bs are:
    Ch. Eldorado n Akuaba's Bejeweled (Ruby)
    Am. Can. Ch. Sternhimmels Generis Sui (Brando)

    Both show dog retirees, Ruby was adopted as an adult and Brando is a permanent foster (he's co-owned by Eldorado & Terry Boomir), so I did not name them. In my case, both kids' call names actually relate well to their registered names.
    Jewel - Ruby and Sui Generis (of its own kind) - Brando...Marlon Brando was definitely sui generis! The cool part for me with Brando is that one of my all time favourite movies is Apocalypse Now...so it is funny that I'd have a dog named Brando when I didn't name him.

  • So here are all of mine with all their titles.

    DC Sherwood's In The Nick Of Time SC, RN, LCM, JOR
    DC Sherwood's Shadow of the Moon SC, FCh, JOR
    FC Kinetic Sourcery SC, FCh, JOR
    FC Kinetic-Tanza Soul Music SC

    Co-owner of
    DC Kinetic's Enchanted Knight SC, FCh, JOR

  • EL D's (retired show champian) registered name (without titles) is Sonbar's Iced Identity (from a litter using stored sperm/ova hence all the Ice in their names: Imperial Ice, Indigo Ice, and Incandescent Icicle).

  • @wizard:

    Wasn't that frozen semen from Sally's Bravo? He was such an awesome dog.

    That is another thing with the registered names..sometimes it gives a clue to who the parents, and possibly grandparents are.

  • @Natalplum:

    Thanks! I updated Mick's info on the canine phenome project website and this is Mick's new registered name.

    Irish Dingo Leaper of Abington - Irish cause we're Mc's, Dingo cause he carries a tattered stuffed babydoll around, Leaper cause he leaps instead of jumps, and Abington because that's our town.
    What do you think?

    LMAO…....A DINGO'S GOT MY BABY!!

  • @lvoss:

    Just because he is neutered doesn't mean he has to remain title-less. You could give lure coursing a try.

    Yeah, I've thought of that – he does love to run, and he's way faster than Jazz. But I live an hour from the nearest events and I don't feel like I have the time to put into it for him and/or take away from family. Then there are gas prices.

    AND I'm a big chicken. When they were showing, I just had to show up with the dogs and Bryan did all the work. The thought of figuring out the hows and whens and all of lure coursing just intimidates me. :confused:

    It DOES seem a little unfair to him, because I am sure he would love it. :(

  • I use themes for every litter and sometimes the dog's call name matches the registered name, sometimes it doesn't.

    The dogs currently residing in my household:

    Sherwood's Red Baron "Baron"
    Sherwood's Red Alert "Logan"
    Sherwood's Timeswept Promises "Pippin"
    Sherwood's Something Special "Bindi"
    Sherwood's Secret Legacy "Jozie"

  • This is a fun thread :) Most of our dogs have some sort of connection between their registered name and call name.

    Am/Can Ch Select Quercus Rubra "Querk"
    Select Quercus Infinite Velocity JC "Ivy"
    Taji-Rennek-Platinum Quercus JC "Blondie"
    Ch Taji's Closing Bell at Quercus JC "Bella"
    Quercus Select Incandescent "Luna"
    Quercus Taji What In-Carnation? "Carl" but we usually call him "Hippo" or "Hippo/Carl" because that is what Ethan named him. He was a VERY big puppy at birth!

  • I think I'm one of the very few, but Medjai's registered name is Medjai.

    There was not really any reason to keep with the parent's name, as it was a BYB and his dogs are named simply their call name with a number. Except for the few that he bought elsewhere that have full 'regular' registered names. (Bandit Jones vs. Spicy-Kazor of Anza)

  • Quercus,
    To your question … "Wasn't that frozen semen from Sally's Bravo? He was such an awesome dog." That's exactly it - Brandy and Brite Northern Exposure.

  • THis is a fun thread. So here ar my pups names

    Charlie = Avatar's Charlemagne Veritas
    Or "Charlemagne's truth"
    And
    Zaire = Taji's Nyonda Zaire Usharifu
    or "Beloved nobility of Zaire"

    :D

  • And our two are:

    Sherwood's Little Red Corvette (Cory)
    Sherwood's Secret Keeper (Jayden)

    Pat

  • We don't generally do themes, but sometimes try to honor the sire or dam, and I like to look up Swahili words and include them when they suit the dog's personality. Usually the puppies kind of name themselves and then we're stuck trying to find a registered name that's not too far away…

    Ch. Illusion's Rio Grande of Dune, SDHR - Tex (His white neck mark was the shape of Texas when he was a baby)
    Ch. Fiber Optic Illusion - Fiber
    Ch. Lela Jamilli - Lela
    Ch. Nowata's Malkia Illusion - Kate (Malkia is Queen in Swahili, she was the only red in her litter, so she's named after Katherine Hepburn in The African Queen)
    Ch. Illusion's Lonestar - Dude (sired by a dog in Texas)
    Ch. Illusion's Moonlit Arrow, JC - Arrow (she had a black 'bullseye' in the middle of her white collar)
    Ch. Kalikids Kivulli Illusion - Kivu (Kivuli means shadow in Swahili)
    Illusion's Jelani Rio - JR (Tex and Arrow's red son, Jelani means mighty)
    Illusion's Queen in Moonlight - Queenie, although her handler calls her Cookie because she always pays attention to that! Tex and Arrow's black daughter.

    Terry

  • Oops, I will never be forgiven! I forgot one!

    Ch. Illusion's Mlia Amina - Mimi Mlia means striped, and was part of her mother's name. She was the only puppy to survive in her litter and she battled so hard that we named her after an ancient African female warrior, Amina.

    Terry

  • :p My first basenji was CH Brinidana Jones of Dune. His son is Foresses Indiana Jones.

    But ususally, I try to match the dog's personality.

    Sharla

  • As I havent had the time to show my little girl (bahh)
    her reg. name is Hajomi Eikobondo, call name Lycia

    (said Basenji is snoring loudly next to me)

    we are thinking on lure coursing though…

    Not to mention what you will call them when you're angry! :) I also like two syllable names, but often end up using one syllable, e.g. "Perry" sometimes gets "Pay", and my horse, "Hero" often just gets "Roe".

    I agree, I wait to be around a pup for a bit and then often pick a name that ties to the registered name; FoPaw's Designated Driver "Sober" FoPaw's Little Bit of Luck "Clover" FoPaw's Oh My God "Odin" FoPaw's Makes U Wonder "Stevie" FoPaw's Lead Singer "Diva" there are many more but these are a couple that come to mind, owners have picked similar matches. Jordan Reed has chosen some very clever names as well. Atarasi D'Lucks Edition "Eddie" (Clover's brother) Atarasi About Face "Sarge" Atarasi All About Me "Mimi" I love playing with names like this. I like Oakley myself but I think you'll be surprised to know exactly what his name is when you get him home. Good luck with the new baby. Therese

    Shaye's MomS
    Although "NO" became what Shaye most heard, along with " drop it" (she's too quick for "leave it," so "drop it" has replaced that) and "get off the table" and "stop digging the screens" (on the porch), lately we have been firmly saying her name, then squirting her in the face with a squirt bottle. Amazing how well that works - of course the entire house is getting wet but she's getting the picture that when we pick up the squirt bottle and show it to her, she'd best stop whatever it is she's doing. Gemma, of course, responds to "stop" and "leave it." Must be the "other" kind of dog in her….

    I want my basenji to have an African name, so I searched African names via Google. Most of the sites tell you what African language the name is from and what the name means. It was an enjoyable process!

    @moetmum: I like it its different. If you are anything like me your dogs have lots of names anyway, Rufus answers to Bear at the moment which came about from the song Rupert the Bear which I used to sing to him! Fiji is sometimes called Flea or Felicity (Her show name is Zande Feleji), Kia answers to Kissy shortened from Kissy Keeks and so it goes on! I have to admit to giving mine a few names too… Gracie is grassy arse ( She got all excited when someone said gracias or however you spell it so she ends up being called grassy arse now :D ) or Gravy (again, got all excited when someone mentioned Gravy :o ). Delilah is Lilah, Lils, Lily. Riley is Crickey ( as in Crickey O'Riley :D ) or just Ry. And poor Maya gets called MyMy at home :o Chloe our old lab is Chlodagh or Da Pig :D Thanks to my brother for the second one lol! Beau is The Bobo! And Cassia gets called Cassandra when she has been bad! Its terribly confusing at times :rolleyes:
