Help with registered names


  • If you are going to name Lola after the movie you should consider the actual name of the movie "Lola Rennt"…are you supposed to have either of their Kennel names in their names at all... I know many breeders require the kennel name...if so let us know what they are and maybe someone will have an awesome idea for y'all. :D


  • You may want to consider a word that you use with all your dogs. Just like breeders use a kennel name, many people use a name so others will recognize that it is a dog owned by them. Some use a name or word that becomes part of the name, I hope Pat doesn't mind but her Maggii and OJ's names are a good example of this Zuri's Obviously Maggii and Bushbabies Obviously Jazz. The word Obviously was used to connect them to Pat. Some names put their name at the end using the word at to connect it like Klassic's Tri-Bal Vixen At Rugosa. Rugosa being the owner and Klassic being the breeder.


  • Exactly Lisa (and of courese I do not mind) And same with Emerant-Fopaw TriWizard at Tanza - Tanza being the owner and Emerant & Fopaw the breeders.


  • We're new to the whole registered naming thing & don't have a good understanding of the whole concept. Kennel name isn't required, and as far as a word to connect them all… hmm I guess we'll have to think about this one a bit more.
    I do like Lola Rennt I think better than Run Lola Run.


  • Kennel name doesn't mean that you have to have a kennel or breeding dogs… it is just a way to ID dogs that come from or live with a person/family.

    Breeders do use kennel names and like to have it on their dogs to ID them as coming from or being brought into their lines....


  • I know several people who use a kennel name when they ILP their rescues. This way anyone who sees the name knows they belong to those people.

    Registered names can be quite an art and some breeder's registered names tell you a whole lot about the dog if you know the hints they put into their names.

    Some examples, many breeders will use Ti in a name to represent that the dog is tri colored such as Zuri's Ti-Tanza Wazi Ajabu or Cambria's Ti-Mungai. Shirley Chambers of Khajah basenjis used the word Gay in the names of all of her red and white basenijs. So you never had to see a picture of Khajah's Gay Excalibur or Khajah's Gay Samantha to know that they were red and white basenjis. L Jane Williams of Candu basenjis uses the word Blacque in the names of all of her black and whites, like Candu Berimo Blacque Jade and Candu's Back in the Blacque.


  • This is a very informative thread! I sort of knew about kennel names, but all the other info is quite interesting. Someday I may lose my mind and get a puppy, I'll store this all away for the naming!

  • And also used it "Tri" for a Tri Basenji in the name Tanza's Tri The Obvious for one, and there are many names with "play" on the word "Tri" …. but the connecting fact is that the dog is a Tri (same at Ti, that was used by Leighton's with Zuri dogs)


  • 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. :)

    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

    Thank you Tanza. I was very curious. ill have to check out AKC. Thank you AgileBasenji. Yes i do live here so it would just be for fun and for some experience. I dont blame you on the points tho because it would be alot of money to not get anything out of it.

    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!

    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 :)
