Article VIII. Dog Name Registration

1. Each Blue Certificate will have an area with 30 empty blocks that may be used when selecting a specific name. The newly chosen name cannot consist of more than the allowed spaces and must also meet the following requirements:
   • One block must be left empty between each word, unless punctuation or hyphen is used to separate or accentuate a particular group of words.
   • Each dog’s name must contain one of the following: the registered kennel name of the breeder or co-breeder or the last name of the breeder or co-breeder as a suffix or prefix.
   • Obscenities, derogatory terms, breed names, and names of prominent people will not be allowed. The Board of Directors reserves the right to determine whether or not a word or phrase is classified as one of the above mentioned.
   • In the event that the name selected has already been used, the owner will be notified and an alternative selection can then be submitted.
