Unchangable kennel name on dogs
And before anyone gores off about how we have tags already, no, that is not at all the same and doesn't help in tracking lines.I dislike it when the names of my dogs get changed - not so much the pups but the ones who already had pups themselves .It is totally confusing if someone buys a parent of my pups and changes names. How am I to remember what lines are what? Personally, I need the names of the parents in my lines to stay the same, any other method of keeping track just doesn't work.
It is beyond annoying, and after recently again someone changed names even after me asking not to, I've no other option than to not sell such dogs anymore.
But what if our dogs had a kennel name they come with, which cannot be changed and shows in the parentage and lines, and a call name? This is the case in RL, too - for example, my aunt's dog is called Attila the Faithful, but is call name is Liam. My cat's call name is Fussel, but her cattery name says Lucina's Biscuit Bliss. (Her cattery site)
I understand people not wanting to be stuck with a weird name or having a naming scheme or using additions in the name to keep track of status. I do some of that myself. But i think having a kennel name and a call name would do away with the renaming issue and still help the rest of us track lines.
