Lisa, I think at the end of the day what is important is the name of the breeder.

I know you but honestly, I wouldn´t remember your legal name. The same with Clara, with Sabine Topfer, oand the rest of the breeders, at least for me…

Too bad they wouldn’t let you use golden dreams as name. It’s such a good name.

As you have to go with argamak, try if they agree in using Canada in the name. That will prevent confusion just as Patricia said.

Argamak Canada though not very original is the most practical. It like the others named Argamak and the country in which it is located makes it easy to look them up. Save the fancy names for the horses.
In my opinion it is the best choice.
I am sure most intelligent people will not get Canada confused with the Netherlands or Russia.
I enjoyed your pictures. Your horses are beautiful.
Great job bringing these horses to Canada!

I submitted a list of names to the government for approval, thinking that the first choice, Golden Dreams Stud, would be approved. Unfortunately it was already taken, as well as our other “golden” choices. The last choice I put down was Argamak Stud and that is the one they picked. So now we are thinking about what to do.

Sorry, typing too fast: Argamak, not Agramak :>)

Kerri-Jo,

No offense, but couldn’t you come up with a name that isn’t already used? The teke community is very small, and even though you may not have been aware of Agramak Studfarm in The Netherlands, all of us in Europe are, and probably most of the serious breeders in the US as well.

Or if you were aware, then I think it shows a certain lack of respect for the identity of an established studfarm.

Just my opinion,
