Tom z pohranicni Straze - Page 2

AKC doesn't care if you use a illegitimate conglomeration of two valid kennel names, or the outright theft of a kennel name from a foreign registry.

You got to look at the registration number. 

Same about Klara z PS and many other dogs. 

You CAN duplicate a name in AKC registration; they'll just throw a number behind the name.  Right now, off the top of my head, I know of two showline kennels in the US who each have resued at least one of their previous dog's names--Mittelwest and Wilhendorf--and likewise, there's a Roman numeral either behind the dog's name, or after the kennel name [I've seen it both ways].  I can't even begin to imagine how many GSDs there are registered with the AKC as Duke or Kaiser or Schultz...they have to be in the millions by now--don't know how often the AKC rolls over their numerals.

Based on what I hear, the Tom z PS from Cordon An Sat is the most famous among the ones named Tom z PS.  His ability to pass on his strong genes down to the forthcoming generations, is highly regarded.  Having the Cordon An Sat "Tom" in the pedigree is pretty much a guarantee for dominant, hard, high-quality GSDs due to the way his strong genes power their way into the genetic material of the subsequent generations.

Once that different number comes against the name, it is no longer a duplicate, right ?

I suppose you could look at it that way...but too often, the numeric suffix gets 'lost' when pedigrees are being transcribed, and the genealogical record becomes corrupt.  Not so much of a problem when one of the dogs is either deceased or too old to have logically been the parent of a particular dog, but when their lifetimes overlap--or, in the case of males in recent years, a dog is collected while alive and has frozen semen available--it can create an opportunity for misrepresentation...

After all, look at this very topic--Tom z PS.  Do people generally refer to "1964 Tom" or "1967 Tom" when they say a pup has Tom z PS in the pedigree? Not that I've observed...and how many people know that there were [at least] 3 such dogs?

Good point. But the first thing I personally do is to look for Cordon An Sat as Tom's sire.  If no Cordon (meaning one of the other Tom z PSs), then I may not look further.

I am guessing any serious person interested in the qualities that Tom z PS (from Cordon) bought to the table, would also do the same ?

Aaykay, That was my entire point.  I was looking at a pedigree yesterday and behind Tom's name it said, "not sired by Cordon."   I always have liked Cordon's Tom, so when I saw this, it really got my attention!!
