Consider this a test and a strange sort of brag. LOL---well, perhaps a  point
of pride?

Application accepted by the AKC in October and officially published this 
month in the AKC Gazette, I took the plunge to register my kennel name. I have 
proudly bred under the prefix PawPrint Boxers since my first litter in 1995 
which produced the first 2 home-bred PawPrint Champions. Many have since joined 
their ranks. My upcoming show pup is the 4th PawPrint-bred generation to
carry  my kennel name; PawPrint Time For A Boi Toi.

Toby is out of Cinnamon-PawPrint Expose' (co-bred & co-owned), she is  out of
Ch PawPrint's Seduction, and she is out of PawPrint Enjoy The Ride 
(pointed). "Queta" was sired by my own Ch Rosend's Booker T oh so many years  ago.

Seen a tad in our breed, but mostly in some other breeds, I am  witnessing
lesser breeders using established show kennel names to try and  pretend these
are their lines. With the internet, it seems so many more doors  are open. Both
good and bad. The AKC rep I am dealing with says it will be Feb  or March 2008
when this should be official for me. It will help guard against  someone now,
or later, trying to use my kennel name.

When I originally thought about this, I considered it a bit of vanity. But 
after years of hard work, dreams realized and dreams dashed, I see it as a type
of protection. I am proud of the Champions I have bred and just as proud of
the  loving pets as well. The Rare White Flying Moose is one of my greatest
joys to  share <g>.
