registering a litter

[cockermadblonde]

my affix is 7 letters long so leaves me with a fair amount to play with

i got to name my first puppy she was conkered the mendips (and then added my affix on the end) she was a chesnut red and we live on the mendips so was perfect!!!!

The rules of naming puppies with the KC is a maximum of 24 letters, if you have an affix it must be the first word, then lets assume your affix is 8 letters, this leaves you with up to 16 letters to use, which can be made up of any amount of words. I prefer to use one word as it's easier and tidier especially when filling out KC entry forms as there is not much space!
I used to use a theme, which looked good all listed together but some names on their own just looked silly and new owners were not always impressed with my choices.
Now I start each litter with the same letter, this way I know which litter they belong to if someone mentions them to me a few years down the line.

I was allowed to choose Tank's registered name (breeder's didn't have an affix) as as he was my first cocker he ended up being called Odd Bod Returns....

Haha, love that. I named my lab Pint O' plain, called Pint of course.

When the breeder names the pups they can use up to 24 letters. If the new owner wants to then add their affix it has to go as the last word and small words such as " of, at, with, can join the names, such as " Kenine Rob of Rytex". In this case the pup was named by the breeder: " Kenine Rob" and the new owner adds their affix and the word "of" you now have "Kenine Rob of Rytex".
The addition of an affix by the new owner does not count in the 24 letters.
An affix can be up to 12 letters.
