When I first joined the list this was one of the topics. I remember I was intrigued by Baerentatze, German for Bear Paw. It was explained then but I don't remember. Was it Pat? Everyone is able to translate mine...Steppenwind.....and so it is, has been for many years. Sometimes it's difficult to add a name I want to the already long kennel name, but I like it. This was the name that was bought (stolen) from the web site. They wanted $90.- to sell it back to me. Haha. Instead of Steppenwindgsd I made it Steppenwindshep and saved $90.- thanks to you listers.

My kennel name "Chieftains" came from the old estate in Port Chester, New York by the same name. The estate was owned by the Gimbel department store family. Best, Barbara I grew up with Pine Run Creek running behind my parents' house. I used Pine Hill for the dogs. Years later I moved to "Hill Road" and now live on a big hill, which coincidentally is covered with pines. (But the name came before the <new> location.)
