Stolzseinrotts Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) Why submit a name if you don't like it??? They make you list so many because there are so many prefixs out there, including the ones in use and all those that are no longer in use or who have never been used but registered. "They" will have to apply to the Canine Association to re-apply for one, which no doubt will at the very least cost more money, really not sure about how "they" will go so best to call and ask the question or put the question in writing to Dogs West to get an answer.

oakway Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Why would you apply for a name you did not like. Ring and ask what the procedure is. Remember the people allocating prefix's would not know it was not acceptable prefix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emery Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 i wonder the same thing lol. no idea why you would write a suggestion down that you are not happy with lol. i'll tell them to call and see what they say. i couldn't find anything similar so don't think anyone would object to it either.

Rottsup Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Lisa, I know someone else who did this too, real silly I know but they just picked names to fill in the gaps as they were told to submitt a minimum of 11 or some really high number of names. They ended up with a name that they later decided they didn't like (this was in WA but makes no difference what state as prefix's are issued by the ANKC) and had to re-submit paper exam and pay the full $$ again. Good luck to "your friends". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldust Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I have a friend who did this too, for a joke (because his bitch was a tart) he put in his last choice as "Spreadwell" and that was the one that was approved he hated it but kept it anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stacyk Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I would think you are stuck with it. However I have just applied for a second prefix for my second breed. You should not have to resubmit the exam as you have already passed. As long as no puppies have been registered under your current prefix for the designated breed you can register a new prefix but will need to pay again. Call and double check though, this is only my perception Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call and double check though, this is only my perception Definitely had to resubmit the exam as this was the part the people I know were most furious about. By the way, when I moved from one state to Victoria just a couple of months ago and went to transfer my prefix, some horrible snappy & grumpy lady at the counter of Dogs Victoria, told me I had to redo my exam as every state was different. When I pointed out that the exam is through ANKC and the same exam is done Australia wide, she still insisted I resubmit the exam before my prefix could be transferred. I just took my paperwork home with me (1.25 hours drive) and sent it in. It was done without question but took almost 7 weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shazzapug Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I think they pick everyones last choice, mine is my last choice only added as a filler, it is 10 letters long all my others were short ones. Test the theory and newbies put your best and first choice last and see what happens lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
