I hit upon a board game idea, a combination of monopoly and the film Best in Show, with a serious side, but also a lighted laugh at
ourselves as dog exhibitors. Of course "Best in Show" was a brilliant choice of name, and the board game became known as that amongst
those who I was consulting. Then a bit of research showed the American dog board game, endorsed by the American Kennel Club, had that
name. Drats. It really wouldn't have been good form to have another board game of the same era about with the same name. So on with the thinking caps, and cross checking with current Trade Marks and registered .com websites - I wanted something unique, distinctive, and relating to showing. Some names really appealed, liked STACKED, but there was a .com, damn. So the list was whittled down to Dog Show World The Dog Game Dog Game Every Dog has his Day Showring The Right Stuff Best of Breed Showground Hair of the Dog Littermates Take the Lead - all of which had already been nabbed by the savvy internet crowd, leaving such 'gems' as Ultimate Dog Show Ultimate Dog Game An Eye for a Dog Showring Secrets Making of a Show Dog Judging the Show Judge the Dog (bit of a tall order for some judges, so let's let this one slip!) Hair of the Judge A skim through Google showed up that lovely book The Winning Edge, all about dog shows and handling, with the sub-title Show Ring Secrets - so Show Ring Secrets was claimed as our name for the website and the board game. = |
