Naming the puppies in a litter using a Litter Theme.

Tessa x Cecil Litter. By using a litter theme we will be able to link all the puppies from the litter together. When the registered names appear in a show catalog or on POST Pedigrees you will be able to identify the litter by their names. It is a way of connecting the litter back to the parents. We have been naming puppies using this concept for 26 yrs now. I especially liked the theme for the Walton litter. If you were a TV fan of The Waltons, you will remember at the end of the show, how everyone said “Good Night” thus we have Good Knight(male) Walton. Good Night (female) Red Alvira.
A litter theme can be most anything, like the above TV show, a phrase or word from the sire and dam that will identify the litter. My initial thoughts were the Hercules series. Tessa’s name is CH Kushinda Ark Action. We are going to use the ARK in her name to link back to her. For Cecil who is DC Kushinda’s Bronze Star, we have chosen the word Legend and Bronze because he is a foundation stud and we hope to carry on the legend he carries. The kennel name will have an ‘s this time to tell us that it is Tessa’s 2nd litter. The next step is to incorporate the pups “call name” into his registered name, so we know who is who.  Everyone is asked for suggestions. For Falcon here is one of the suggestions, Kushinda’s Falcon Legend Begins CT. The CT is Cecil-Tessa. Xena who is pictured below may become the Princess Warrior Ark Xena, . Naming a litter is a family affair that incorporates the new owners as well. It takes all of us.
We are open to any suggestions you may have on the next litter from CH Red Alvira. More info to come. K
