Somewhat on topic, but what is up with the naming scheme of show dogs? The show names are almost like Ghurka cigar names, but then the dogs have a common 'pet' name they go by.

To name your dog with anything of Ghurka in it is considered cruelty to animals.

Show dog names are often based upon the theme that the breeder has established for their kennel, but you can't call them by that so you also have a call name.

Our dogs came from Rock N' Roll Frenchies, so the show names were
Rock N' Roll's Rock Around the Clock, but his call name is Tick Tock
Rock N' Roll's Broadway Bound, call name is Pippin

I can't get my dogs to respond to one name.....

Give them a treat everytime you call them by name and they come. I guarantee that they will learn their names quickly.
