With all due apologies to any whom I may have offended as far as calling a
dog Kitty; it was in the spirit of fun. I've been a purebred dog breeder for
the last 20 years of my life, raising champion Poodles, Gordon Setters, and
Doberman Pinschers, and have often found, with regard to myself and other
breeders, that a pet's name, whether humorous or descriptive of their
lineage, doesn't really matter as long as it is comfortable for you and the
dog. Having grown up with many purebred dogs with humorous or unusual
nicknames, such as Hulk, Tally-Ho, Fang and Sleepy, I certainly meant no
offense. I consider myself to be among the more experienced and serious dog
breeders that contribute to this newsgroup. (Besides, I always thought that
Kitty really WOULD be a great name for a Great Dane! :-) )
