When my wife and I bought our German Shepard puppy we surfed the web and looked at a bunch of GSD registered names for ideas. We were kind of suprised to see how large, serious, and German all the names were. I do understand why their registered names are so long and serious, but knowing that our dog was just going to be a family dog that we would never breed we decided to make up our own official name to register with the AKC. Thus our dog's official, registered name is...

Royce Gracie VonWoofster

Royce Gracie is my favorite Jiu-Jitsu fighter and we thought VonWoofster sounded German, semi-serious, and very funny. Needless to say, everyone just refers to the dog as Gracie, but I think she has a very original "official" name.
