Things to Consider (cont.)

1. Name your dog - Give this some consideration, your special dog deserves a special name. Many times the breeder wants a certain name for the AKC registration. Usually they want their kennel name included in the registration; sometime they want to actually name the dog. I understand and agree with including a breeder's kennel name on the AKC registration, but my personal view is that the actual name should be up to you and your family.
