which do you prefer....

Naming & Buying Dogs

Doesn't matter to me		50.00%
I like the breeder to name it		35.42%
I like to name the dog myself		14.58%

I like to name the dog myself, but I do like adding the breeder's kennel name and prefer that if people buy dogs from me that they add "LoupGarou" or "LG" to the dog's name.

I agree with LG but otherwise I don't care either way.
I sell mine with no name. Doesn't bother me if they don't use Clwyd in the name either.

In my long term breeds I like to name it because I like to track my bloodlines. I usually reply to the buyer asking if they have a name preference and I will comply and add my kennel name. I find most people don't care. In my new breeds, I put them on the quick sale because I don't track bloodlines. I know it annoys some people but I always try to post that if you want a name, let me know at the time of the offer.

I prefer naming myself, but will buy a named dog if I like it and/or he/she fits what I'm looking for (color, trait, etc.) A name is a name, nothing more.

I dont mind as now I'd only buy a really good dog from an established breeder so it will probably be given a good name anyway. Or I'm happy to name myself and include the breeders affix if they want.
