Our first choice was Tatra´s what is the name we use for Gerda z Rofa the origin bitch of our breeding and it is the nome of two mountain areas in Slovakia. But Tatra was already taken though not longer used

and the VDH took our second choice (you have to send three psibilities). Zlatá Palz means goldene Pfalz what is a very famous wine area in Germany we live in.

I got my first choice

which is kind of strange, as I got tooled later on, one is not allowed to use the breeds name by the Swedish kennel club nor a country name or words like "on" "of" "in"…

And as me kennel name is Wolfdog of Sweden I kind of had 0 point right in my application

But I guess that they did like it anyway or had a very happy day. Or maybe they just felt sorry for me, because I could not read

I wanted to name my kennel this because, I wonted it to show on the WD planned litter that I was located in Sweden and for the ones in Sweden to know that I was breeding Wolfdogs

Best regards / Mikael

I love hearing these stories! It seems really common for people to pick names based on where they're located & what features are around. Don't think I have anything quite so inspiring living in a boring suburb of Chicago!

Sotis = Dog Star Sirius

(this is ancient Egyptian word)
This name is short and without diacritic - I mean, that it´s important too

(this name is not a problem to correctly pronounce or write)

Hello,

I call my female Caya very often "little witch" - because she behaves like it

Malá Bosorka is the slovak translation. I wanted to get a connection to Slovakia as country of origin.
