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.

    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!

    Two is great! We have 3 and love it, only problem is when all three want to get loving at the same time and I only have 2 hands. They do keep each other company when you aren't home, and no human can really play the way another basenji can play. It may take a few days or weeks for them to work out their relationship, or they may hit it off right away. But I definatelyrecommend 2!

    Robyn posted on a Facebook today, so perhaps she is just busy with other things.
