My dogs aren't registered, and I've never even had a registered dog....

But when I'm older, my german shepherd, named Daystar, will be Star that shines through Day, and my catahoula leopard dog, named Rex, will be Saracne clear as glass.

If I could name Timber and Leather, they would be:

Timber: Jordan's Gold and Sable
Leather: Outmastering Houdini

I read that CKC is better than AKC because people from CKC actually come to see your dog and watch it's movements, behaviour etc, and that AKC only registers from a picture. I read that story about the cats who were registered as goldens, and there was also a pig that was registered as a wolf hybrid
