Basenji Puppy Pen
  • I am trying to name my little puppy, PLUS my kennel. I had Podhradsky Kennels but now i am not sure i want to use that. i want a cute one but one that is easy to remember. ALSO id like to have help naming my basenji puppy. Had some help but need more! lol

    I am thinking of having her call name be African Princess (if it is not already taken) Right now i have the kennel name as Dreamlite kennels. So it would be Dreamlite's African Princess. Anyone have any ideas what a call name could be. I dont like princess as it alone. any ideas of either african countries/cities/towns, or another word for princess in another language. I am trying to find the perfect name. ill try to attach a pic of her! Hope I can have some help! Thanks!

  • She's a pretty girl. When i was looking to name our Pup i did a google search of African girls names.

  • Thank you :) ya i looked up a few but i cannot find a cute one. it sucks lol any ideas? let me know. thanks for the reply :)

  • My suggestions:

    Maiden (I personally love this one)
    Queen
    Madam

  • I actually do not get it…
    the pup needs a name and the kennel too , but the pup is bred by somebody else? or ???
    is that normal in the USA? we are not allowed to do that in the netherlands that is for sure.

  • Don't you have to use the names of the sire/dam for the formal AKC name?

  • @sharronhurlbut:

    Don't you have to use the names of the sire/dam for the formal AKC name?

    Not sure I understand your question? But no, you do not need to use names of the sire and dam for AKC.

    To address ibi_n_sane's question, it is up to the breeder if they require their kennel name to be used. Most all Back Yard Breeders (meaning less then responsible breeders) could care less about registrations of the pups let alone caring to put their name on a pup. All they care about is the money received and the profit they made.

  • Sophie is really cute and Thanks for the replies. I THINK we have decided on going with the name Amirah. Prairieland's Arabian Princess as her registered name. Amirah means princess in arabic. :)

    I appreciate all the help with the names. and if we decide a different route i will repost it. Thanks again!!

    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….:)

    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.

    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.

    Good luck to you…I really mean that. :) One more thought on this... The most important people in my life are not just "yes men"...they can see when my judgment is clouded by emotion. We might not like what people have to say, but if you step back and look at comments objectively, you'll see that they are meant to help and to give a reality check. The senior members on this forum have HUGE EXPERIENCE...they have great advice, even if it hasn't always been what I've wanted to hear. Please...please...read lvoss' post and then read it again. To me, that is the clearest explanation as to what the danger is by rushing in.
