<div>Oh Bev, he's just adorable! How old is he? Looks like you will be giving up full nights of sleep and free time for a while, but he looks well worth it.</div>

<div>I know nothing at all about show dogs/purebred papered type dogs but I do watch the shows when I can catch them, and I have always wondered about the "registered" name of show dogs, in Conley's case, "First Class Tonic With A Twist."<br>
</div>
<div>Why are such registered names assigned? I've heard some at Westminster that go on for ever it seems, and I always wondered why they weren't "registered" under the names they are actually called. Does it have something to do with the number of dogs registered and trying to get a unique name? The closest analogy I can think of for that scenario would be something like vanity lic. plates, where only one person can have them. With show dogs I would imagine that it would be even more complex, since it wouldn't just be limited to state, but to all of the show dog arena.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Maybe it has nothing to do with that and it's just a tradition? Again, I'm just guessing here but you know how there's nothing like a mystery to keep a person awake at night!</div>
