Go with the full names!! I love it!

This might be a dumb question...but here goes.....

If you buy a dog from a breeder and they have already named them, you only have to keep that name for their registration papers correct? Do you need to tack on the name you choose for them to also go on their papers?

Thanks,
Gina

You can never change a registered name...add or subtract anything either...

In the US, for AKC, you do not need to keep any part of the name that breeder gives the pup -- not for pets with limited registration (non-breeding).

I wanted to clarify my response...I meant for the registration, not after, of course.

And I tried to edit my response..does not matter what a breeder calls thepuppy...you may change it to suit yourself...puppies, even adults learn a new name fast...think of all the shelter dogs!

I agree, and I changed Teddy's name when I brought him home from the breeder at 8 months old. He took to his new name instantly.

With Maximo's puppy/litter name, I liked it and it worked well with Maximo, so I kept it as part of his registered name.

Thank you. We will be looking at pets with limited registration only, so this answers my question perfectly.

Of course if the breeder gives the puppy a name we love, then it will be a moot point.

Great information, I'm glad I gave Joey a fancy name now, otherwise he would have ended up sounding like some imate!

I bet Joey would look adorable in stripes with a ball and chain around his little leg. Great idea for a Halloween costume.

Well, Dori is Wilde's Dorian of Calaryn. Our first Silky was named Royal Blue Girl of Starline. We added Victoria and called her Vicki. The breeders chose the registered names for the official papers (as they include the kennel names) and we added the family touch.

I am tying to think of a great AKC registered name for my two yorkies. One is named Bella and I just got a 7 week old yorkie I named Izzy. I really need some help. I would like to use princess in both of their names. PLEASE HELP!!

Zachary Tiberius
Zoey Grace
