One that I always wondered how they got it past the KC was an Alaskan Malamute called Hyteton Kickass.

The system works! Because you have given a clue to the name of your Belgian I guess it was bred by Jan Ralph!

when I worked at the Kennel Club, if owners didn't provide an affix we just made it "of Kenstaff" - ie Kennel Club staff.

That must have been a while ago - before breeders had to register all the pups in a litter.

Thanks everyone who answered, and especially pastafreak for putting up the link to the other thread - very interesting, and yes, Lankeela, Isla (B***** Quichotte) was bred by Jan.

Hi Lankeela, Serenehound was actually one word, I know I put it as two, this is actually Carakeels department not mine, I know very little about that side of things, I have never stepped foot in a show ring (and never will) I leave all that side to Carakeel.
