Our Kennel Name Change:

We had initially registered our kennel with the CKC, as "Cumara".  We were subsequently informed that the kennel name "Cumara" was issued to me due to a CKC error and that I would have to choose a different kennel name.

This led me to my second choice of kennel names, "Caramor",  which has been approved and registered with the CKC.  As a result, our registered kennel name and dogs born from our kennel will now begin with the prefix Caramor and not Cumara.

The CKC did allow me to change my puppies' names to reflect the change in my kennel name.  I chose to change only Navy's name, from Cumara's Navy Blue to Caramor's Navy Blue to reflect that she was a puppy born of our breeding.  I opted not to change Navy's siblings' names as they were sold under non-breeding contracts and it would serve no purpose other than to increase the paper shuffle, thus although of the same litter, the prefix to Navy's name is 'Caramor' and the prefix to her siblings' names remain as 'Cumara'. 

I chose Caramor,  using the Gaelic language of my own heritage to come up with 'cara' which means 'friend' and 'mor' which means 'large', thus Caramor means 'large or loyal, friend'. 

I had chosen the name Cumara, to reflect my heritage and what I thought was one of the best descriptions of the Newfoundland dog.  In Gaelic,  'cu' means 'dog or hound' and 'mara' means 'sea'.  I thought there could not be a more  fitting name for Newfoundlands than 'hounds of the sea'.  Unfortunately, I did not have a choice in the matter and was forced to change names.

I believe it is important to point out the reasoning behind my kennel name change.  In this unfortunate day and age with puppy mills springing up all over the place, I wanted to assure people that my kennel name change was due to legitimate reasons, beyond my control.
