It's all in the name.
Heres how to break down those crazy names. Each dog has a registered name showing it is a purebred. The name often includes the kennel where the dog were born. Each dog also has a call name, the one the owner yells in the park to get the dog to come. The Ch. signifies "Champion," meaning the dog has won at previous dog shows. Dont get breeders started on folks who dare to name their dogs with a prestigious kennel name, but -- whoops -- the dogs were actually born someplace else.
