My kennel name is Culzeans, pronounced Cul-lanes. It is an old Celtic word that means Stronghold, I discovered it while watching America's Castles and the episode was about castles that Americans had something to do with or build or owned, etc. Well in Scotland there was a castle built on the coast named Culzean and apparently the nephews who inheirted it were Americans, I believe their name was Kennedy. President Eisenhower stayed there during the war. I fell in love with the name,the castle and meaning so I used it for my dogs. So on my web site I use Culzeans: A stronghold in Excellence. I named my Reese: Culzeans RonstheReason because her mother's handler Ron Dickey, thought I should breed her with my Bear because they had lots of CTHill in common and it might mature DeeDee. so at 2 1/2 I bred Dee and Bear and got wonderful Reese. I then started naming all (my total of 3 litters!) Dee had one litter and Reese has had 2 litters. Reese's 1st litter who was out of CH Windmill's Syncronicity was born on 8/8/08 and she had 8 pups! So in that litter we have to name a few Culzeans Infinity, Culzeans Going for Gold(Dara the older swimmer who won a silver), Culzeans Draw a Hard Line at PS. They were born on the luckiest day of the century(according to the chinese and the first day of the olympics). Her second litter was out of Sel Can/Am CH Heinerburg's O Danny Boy, she had 2 pups 1 boy,1 girl. My boy is named Culzeans the Highland Macleod and we call him Mac. And my Saydee who is out of my Culzeans She's Something Else and Sel Ch Jezra's Daytona, is Culzeans Never Say Never cause the co-breeder and I said we didn't think we would ever use a specialty only dog, but we fell in love with Tony and said Never say Never! I find names fascinating and a lot of fun. Thank you for the blog it was great!
