Hi Cindy-
My first Berner was simply Chewlot's Tully. Chewlot is the kennel prefix,
and Tully is my dog's name. My second Berner was Tully-Sky Avery v
Wingfield...Tully-Sky is my kennel prefix, Avery is my dog's name and the 'v
Wingfield' refers to the kennel where my dog was bred. Finally,

Lets start a thread on how your dog came to have its call name.
We have seen many Dogs called Boomer and a number of dogs called Copper.
Our first Stud dog was called Boomer and this name was derived from the fact
that I was a Boom
Operator on the Air Force KC 135 Flying Tanker.

Daisy, my 3 1/2 yr. old, got her name from the toy she carried home and

favorite beer). Since I would
What a fun subject Pat.
Before Snowden arrived home I was searching for names on a baby name website that
gave you the meanings origins of the names. I already had his registered name
picked out Skylands Storm Front, since he was born on the night that I went to a
Billy Joel concert
We named Boomer that just because we thought that it was a good name for a
big dog. Having been directed to find a registered name that sounded Indian
related, we chose Thunder Dance (as in Thunder Boomers) hoping that he would
live up to that name, dancing over the obstacles in agility. He's
Litter theme - legal terms. Grand Larceny - call name Lars.

I always love to hear how folks named their dogs, here is how it worked with
some of my guys:
Decker's registered name is Jamars Upper Deck CD, hubby has seasson ticket
upper deck seats for the Lions games (perhaps a better call name would be
'loser')
Keebler's registered name is Joslyns Made
I started a list of potential dog names (both registered call names) when I
was about 14 (this helps explain why I didn't date a lot as a teenager).
Still have some good ones on there, waiting for the right dog!
In my 30's, used to joke with my then-husband that when I turned 40 I

something different. As we were driving home

One starting point you can use is the registered name. Does the breeder
