    I am getting my puppy from Sundiata Basenjis. I'm not sure if they have litter themes. I don't care if the call name has anything to do with the registered name.

    Call names often evolve, depending on the personality of the dog. You may start off with one idea for a name, but then the dog offers behaviour that just naturally leads to another, more appropriate, name. I find I end up with several "pet" names, although I stick to one for serious business!

    Honestly, the spelling Braz reminds me of a woman's bra….........but I'm one to talk (most people pronounce Beo as........B.O.).

    You sound like you enjoy the name, so go for it! If you don't like it, you can always change it later.....dogs could care less about the name part, so whatever you find enjoyable at any given time.

    @MyBarklessDog:

    I am getting my puppy from Sundiata Basenjis. I'm not sure if they pick reg. names and have litter themes. I'll have to find out if I can choose the reg. name.

    When I have a litter, new owners get to pick the call name, I will give suggestions for the registered name or what needs to be in the name, for example C-Me's litter all the names had to have "Tri" in them (along with my kennel name)…. I do get the final OK on the registered name.

    And I like Braz

    I like Braz, short and unique, haven't heard it before. When we were looking for a name I also wanted something African but we all agreed on Kaiser, so your name has that going for it as well.

    Jolanda and Kaiser

    I still don't have a name! He comes home with me next Sunday. I just got back from visiting the puppies at the breeder's house but no names have come to me.

    With call names the pup often names himself once you have him. Registered names are a bit more tricky.

    Ha! My husband and I just went through this. We had a short-list we thought were definite candidates, but nothing seemed to stick. It took about a week for "Scout" to come along, and "Scout" she is =). Of all the names we bounced around, I loved Dash, Rizzo, Blitz, and Radar for a male.

    Ditto on that thought!

    You will figure it out, the personality will tell you. It may just be me, but I like two syllable names, just input here for thought….:)

    about importing to sweden, it is only difficult with time laps and rabies tests etc. when the dog is older then 12 weeks, before that you can ask a special permit at the swedish board of agriculture, to import a puppy under 12 weeks of age, but the sooner you do that the better ofcourse, because you need the permit before the puppy reaches 12 weeks ofcourse :)

    We once got a puppy with a 12 year old male (and an older female). For the first week the adults kept their distance from the girl pup, but within a couple of weeks my male and the pup were inseparable. She hung from his neck with those wicked teeth and he hardly ever growled at her, she was his little shadow and they adored each other. Adults will make terrible noise and flash fangs at the pups, especially at about 6 months when they are teenagers, but most pups ignore it all! Male dogs are usually very sweet and good with pups…females are, well, bitches.

    @Andrew: Booger is FINALLY registered with his proper name. We've decided to use "Griffin" in our dogs' names as a reference to the half lion/half eagle mythical creatures. The Egyptians borrowed them from other civilizations & used them in art depicting hunting scenes. So Booger is now "Griffin's Pick of the Litter." Very nice choice…cute name. :)
