jasonmccook1 2,359 Report post Posted March 11, 2016 I see a dog has just recently been named that in my opinion is breaching rule 124. 1 D. Dog is named scamper clear but already dog registered scamper Clair (2008) how was it not picked up or do they not have robust checks in place?

Yankiwi 782 Report post Posted March 11, 2016 At first I was going to differ with you Jason, but after a bit of research you may have a valid point. They are two different words, with different meanings, only subtle differences in pronunciation, & very similar phonetically. 124.1 When application is made to name a Greyhound full regard shall be paid to the criteria contained in the following: d. The name is not similar phonetically to one already granted; Clair - Generally a given female name. - http://static.sfdict.com/staticrep/dictaudio/C05/C0520500.mp3 Clear - Free from obscurity - http://static.sfdict.com/staticrep/dictaudio/C05/C0540900.mp3 . aquaman and jasonmccook1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheepy 69 Report post Posted March 12, 2016 8 hours ago, twirly berly said: Goldstar jeanie was Jean Jeanie and was changed as there was a gene jeanie in aus No it was because there was already a Jean Jeannie. The one in Aus had one extra 'n' in Jean Jeannie . The one I can't believe got through is Puma Pants. A dog was named this two years prior, however after a couple of complaints had to change after a couple of starts. If the names banned in Aus, surely the same would have been applicable in NZ...

mmmyb 277 Report post Posted March 23, 2016 Another one ive seen is newly registered greyhound - Mocha Chino The mother of Silver Collar winner Mr. Chino, Mochaccino is said the same, but spelt differently. Maybe within the time frame allowed , unsure but was surprised when going through the recent registrations to find this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoKnows 791 Report post Posted March 24, 2016 Puma Pants is terrible, just childish and immature of the connections who named him. I agree with Mocha Chino and Scamper Clear, they are pronounced exactly the same as the previous dogs who only raced a short time ago. Cant connections use their brains and come up with their own names rather then just copying others and rearranging the spelling? jasonmccook1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canelo 459 Report post Posted March 24, 2016 There was that galloper in the early 2000's called Frenzel Rhomb after the Australian Punk Band of the same name. They included a song on the end of their best selling album which was a tribute to the horse, cool stuff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
