Call/Registration Names

Basenji Puppy Pen

  • @wizard:

    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).

    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…


  • @ Lauren:
    Eikobondo? Are you sure about that? I know Kennel Ekibondo from Czech Republik….

    My dogs are

    Old Legend's Anam Chara - he is called Jester
    Old Legend's Banshee - she is called Banshee
    I was allowed both times to choose the registration and the callnames.

    And last but not least, Lis Glamur Velikaya Panda-Monkey, she is called Panda.

    Sometimes I wish, that breeders think about Kennel names and dog names BEFORE naming each of them, in order to get the names in the registration forms for Shows and other events. Sometimes it is hard to write that small and still in a way that others are able to read what they need to know....

    Regards,
    Esther


  • What determines the kennel name that will be used? The dam?


  • The breeder of the litter determines the kennel name that is used.

    So back to my dog's names:

    Sherwood's In The Nick of Time
    Sherwood's Shadow of the Moon

    Sherwood is the kennel name of their breeder Robyn Dubbert. There are several Sherwood dogs on the Forums.

    Kinetic Sourcery

    Kinetic is my kennel name.

    Kinetic-Tanza Soul Music

    Kinetic is my kennel name, Tanza is Pat's kennel name. This was a co-breeding and both kennel names are in the registered name.

    The litter that I am expecting on Halloween will be Kinetic and Enchanted since I am co-breeding the litter with my mom.


  • Yeps it's Ekibondo.. my fingers got happy with the 'o' key. =)


  • And my kennel name was years ago going to be Obvious but then I decided to use a more Af name and picked a small lake in Africia, Tanza

    So for come of my kids
    Zuri's Ti-Tanza Wazi Ajabu, aka Mickii (Zuri is the kennel name of the breeder, Ti to indicated Tri, and Tanza as my kennel name), her offspring

    Tanza's Tego
    Tanza-Zuri Fatia (while it was not a co-breeding with Mickii's breeder we did have an agreement that we would co-own the keeper of the litter)

    Now we have Kobey
    Emerant Fopaw TriWizard at Tanza - So Emerant and Fopaw are the kennel names of the co-breeders and Tanza is my kennel name

    I am co-breeding with Parry this year so the kennel name will be Tanza (on the pups I keep) and Rugusa on the pups that he keeps or maybe a combo of both, we have not decided. One of these pups will go back to the stud owner instead of a stud fee, so that pup will have Fopaw in the name….

    So the moral of the story is, people use their kennel names as a way to identify their breedings and themselves. We put lots and lots of time, effort, engery, money into our litters and are proud of our pups, so we want everyone to know who they are....


  • Cool Hannah Ekibondo became EUW-08 with BOB in Budapest this past weekend under Judge Kay Eldred from australia and she´s just a juniorbitch.She must come from the same litter as yours Scouiffy:)
    Ok back to the topic
    Wazin Red Elegance -she´s called Efia swahili word for Born on a friday.
    Dipop Red´s Dancer -he´s called Myran which in swedish means ant as he reminded me of a fireant.
    Both dog´s share the same dad Meisterhaus Tail Of Intrigue bred by Tad Brooks.


  • She is indeed from the same litter =) It was a fantastic group of girls, the breeder I think is still a little disappointed I'm not showing Lycia.. alas.

    @Buddys: I agree, well said Robyn. A very well rounded reply, and I appreciate your time in explaining the options that are out there. I am not one who advocates adopting ONLY from a shelter or rescue. I love to hear that it happens, but totally respect the choice of wanting a pedigree. I just hope that anyone who breeds for what ever reason does follow responsible guidelines for the prospective new owners, health and welfare of the puppies, dams and sires, and of the wholesomeness(?) of the breed of choice. I do have a waiting list for the future puppies (besides the ones that myself and the co breeder are keeping.) I also have a contract that states for any reason the puppies are welcome back at any time for any reason and i highly urge this to my potential owners (i say required but we all know that people fall through loops when you say required) anyways All of my dogs are health tested and the sire is health tested too. Fanconi, eyes, thyroid, and the hips I am waiting for results but she isnt in heat yet so i hope i will get it before they are bred. Trust me, I also know how rescues are. I have rescued (www.foreverfriendsrescue.webs.com) since 2008 when i rescued my first dog scheduled to be put down that day i went into the pound, and i never really stopped) so i know the effects that bad breeders can have on the dog population. Which is why we need to have more responsible breeders out there. Ones who do the health testing, ones who care where there puppies go, ones who want to help the breed, ones who give a $h!t. I love this breed. They are my world and i just cant live without them. They chose me. I chose them. Its the only breed that is right for ME. and I know this. I love showing (only been to a few so far, as i am fairly new) but i love it and i enjoy meeting new people that share the love of basenjis too and I enjoy the fun and sport of it. I really want to do what is right with breeding, which is why i have waited to find a good breeder to help me along and to help guide me as my mentor. Miah is a wonderful dog, so close to standard. and so pretty. nice pedigree and the most supurb temperament also. With my mating (dorsey x miah) I expect great things! Me and my co owner are really excited as is the sire owner. We cant wait for this litter. I know breeding is a huge controversy because of all the unwanted pets in the world, but i have been there with rescueing and if i truely didnt feel like my dog was worthy of it, and i truely didnt feel like I could do it CORRECTLY, i honestly wouldnt. but thank you for your input. I know you care, as do we. but i really am trying to do it right. Spent lots of money getting tests done, and finding a really nice bitch to start with, and getting the knowledge. (I got my first basenji 11 years ago! and i have researched and experienced the whole time!) After 11 years, i feel i am finally ready to take the step and breed my bitch to start my kennel where i want to continue to show and create loving, family pets. as well as fun things like coursing and agility, etc..

    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!

    @mauigirl: I wanted to let you all know what I decided on. It's "Sulou's Tri the Good Life". It took quite the progression to get there. It had to go through "life of riley" to get the "good life" part. It was actually Susan's suggestion and was something I had thought about. And I was able to get "Tri" in there after all. It's kind of appropriate, we're always joking about what a hard life the dogs have, given that they seem to have sleep-a-thons oh, you know, every day!! But I'm pleased with it and couldn't have gotten there without your suggestions so thank you! Very cute name… I really like it
