Marta,
don't feel bad -- we had decided to name this litter after their dad who is Ch Ivoss Touch The Sun (Sonny) so we asked everyone to put sun or some such derivative in the formal name.

We, of course, decided to go with something that made a lot of sense to us: Annihaus (kennel name) Cassidy's (mom's name) Sundance Kid (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid seemed pretty obvious). So then folks asked what we actually call him. We said, "Sundance". Isn't that a mouthful, they'd ask? Uh, no, we'd say. No harder than Annie Fay (the Queen) or Rowdy (the King) or Cassidy or Marion Louise, etc. Have you ever noticed that people really are a bit weird?!! Anyway, so Sundance is called, well, Sundance.

Now, granddad, Rowdy's formal name is A/C Ch Loral's Der Terminator CGC, HIC, TDI. It was a "D" litter and as a puppy he had that Arnold stature with total approachability. But he was always going to be called Rowdy.

Our Golden is Driftwood's Hard Drive and his call name is based on the one thing you can count on with hard drives -- they crash. Ergo, Crash.

Our first litter was a "designer" litter with Annihaus Gucci Gucci Gu, Annihaus Crem' D Coco Chanel, Annihaus Halston Hussy, etc. That one was fun.

Stack that guy and send us a photo.

Jim
