Kennel Name Registration

  • A Kennel Name may be registered by a person(s) who wishes to identify the dog(s) he/she owns or breeds by the addition of this Kennel Name as an affix (prefix or suffix) to the dogs’ names.
  • If the dog is owned but not bred by the Kennel Name holder, the Kennel Name is conventionally used as a suffix (after the dog’s name) beginning with “at” instead of “of”.
  • A Kennel Name once attached to a dog’s name cannot be dropped.
  • A dog cannot carry more than two Kennel Names, – of the breeder and/or owner.
