Have you thought about mixing the family initials and the dogs initials?

i agree too. I want it to be something that people can remember . And if I do have a litter that its not much to use on the front end.

Personally I like the first one and I would perhaps take the word Lane off of it ... it shortens it up and if you move it still works....

im on the fence about removing the lane part.. Also moving it? I'm not exactly sure how to visualize doing that..

I do like the last one but there is a golden dreams kennel... but also my concern would be that people will massacre the spelling... i know I would honestly... also in kennel names it seems that irish dogs have irish kennel names, italian dogs have italian kennel names, goldens have english/scottish kennel names, etc etc.. not that you have to stick with this convention of course but it does seem to be the norm....

yes and my other thought was geographically don't want to confuse anyone lol

I personally don't like anything that ist he persons name as the kennel name... reminds me to much of byb'ers, and I dont typically like the world golden in a kennel name...

yes I guess you are right ..should probably nix those ideas..

I do like Jeweled.... that could be my favorite actually because of the above.... easy to say, easy to spell, short enough to add a registered name to it... sounds classy.... yeah I think of those above i do think that is the best for practical reasons..

just Jeweled... Something to think about..

Thanks for all your help!.
