Topic Dog Boards / Breeding / Where to check KC affix?
- By loobyloo2 [gb] Date 17.01.12 16:18 UTC
Can someone remind me where I can check online, ones that may be available?
And recent additions.
Thanks.
I can never navigate the KC site with ease.

You were probably searching under "Affix" :)  It is not called this any more but just referred to as "Kennel Name"
They publish recently applied for names here but I do not think you can search the entire list on line.

Thanks:0)
I thought I saw on here somewhere not too long ago how you could check if the name you want has already been used?

you can put in a name checker - it'll tell you if it's already an affix by saying it's not available.

This is the name checker but think that is for a full Registered name not just Kennel Name?

You can use it to check a kennel name...for instance, If I wanted the name "Afterglow joe bloggs" in the name part not the kennel name part,  it would tell me that afterglow is a kennel name already taken....I used it when searching for a kennel name, I got my first choice approved within 14 days.

Just tried it with mine and yep you are right ... :)

I was researching puppy names a few months back and wanted the word "blythe" in the name, it was refused as that is someone's affix, if I knocked the "e" off the end it was accepted. Using the search option saves time as you won't send in ones already taken.

When I was applying for my affix a few years back I was told I could order a book of already registered affixes but the lady told me it was a waste of money as it was out of date by the time it returned from the printers as new ones were added daily not every 3 months as had happened in the past before online applications became the norm.

Thanks everyone. I don't know why I can never find what I want on their website!
- By Brainless [gb] Date 18.01.12 11:03 UTC
I am the same the search facility is very poor, and needs tweaking as the articles on the site if you can find them are excellent.

Thankyou Barbara, it's good to know I'm not the only one;-)

Not by a long shot, if I am searching for something specific on their site I actually find it easier to go to google and search for what I want plus the letters KC at the end and google normally gives me the exact page I want or one with a link in it.
