I enjoy this topic. Thank you to everyone for sharing how you named your kennels. 20 + years ago, I had a different last name...Black. Wanted to use that as part of our Kennel name. There was a huge tree on our property, that was my special "seasons tree.: it was a Black Oak. So the Kennel name was chosen. We are on our 6th. generation of Black Oak's dogs now, so I guess we will keep the name. <G> Marcia Hadley & Gina Black-Mills Black Oak's Hillsboro, Missouri ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
