At the Westminster Kennel Club exhibition in New York City in the United States, dogs sported sophisticated names with precise meanings. Composed of capital letters, these names allow breeders to follow the lines.
Outside the competitions, these champions respond to simpler nicknames. As for example Begold Scion Right Addi-Dude, the Golden Retriever which becomes Charlie Dude on a daily basis.
Each official name thus tells a unique story of pedigree, prestige and personality.
