Andy, we always have allowed an individual to put our kennel name on one of our pups. With that said we never require it. We have always felt that when you purchase that pup it is yours to do what you want. This also allows that individual the opportunity to name their own pup. To those whom have asked to use our kennel name with their own, I often suggest to add it at the end. An example was Howard's heartbreak of Sundown.

I like for people to put my kennel name on a pup they get off of me but I'd never make anyone do that if they paid me for a pup. Here's some examples of pups that came from my house, DB's Halfway Chubby Molly and some that you may or may not see at hunts next year. Young Guns Halfway Shelby or my personal favorite Rambling Halfway Garth Brooks. These are young puppies but this way they advertise both kennels. Of course if they don't turn out then that doesn't look good either. Lol

The use of kennel names on pups when bought directly from the breeding kennel makes sense for alot of the above mentioned reasons it's more of a nod to the breeder and there collective hard work on picking studs etc and building there blood line. I don't think it should be really considered poor taste if someone pays for a pup and doesnt do it however if the breeder and new owner have a previously discussed agreement then by all means.


I see more of an issue with people who misrepresent there dogs by throwing on a kennel name when the dog was not born at or owned by the kennel to me this is false advertisement and is generally done as a marketing ploy to make money. Especially when they do this without consulting with the owners of the kennel first.

A kennel name on the hound should mean the breeding kennel endorses and stands behind it's blood line and believes the cross to be solid good or bad.

In the Show dog world it is common to put the kennel name of the breeder first. I like that because you know where the dog came from by the name. In the hunt programs it seems the person raising and training the pup may want their kennel name first. Sometimes when in Rome may be better to do as the Romans do.

I have done this before for one kennel won't do it again when I buy a pup it belongs to me I don't buy it to recognize someone else's kennel I buy it because of the way the dad runs or does in the field. If the people like how the pup does they are asking who it is out of not what kennel it came from that is how you promote the kennel is through the sire. If you go out and buy a stud Dog that is in another kennels name don't why would you expect them to put your kennel name on it because it was born at your kennel this is just my opinion Calvin
