John Stopps Webboard User Reg: 03-10-2008 Posts: 238 Loc: Offline	I see all sorts of different naming conventions for GSD's. For example, "Corsully vom Leerburg". Most of them I see are "vom". But I've seen: auf vom haus von der …and probably a few others. Do these mean different things? Rommel vom Kozies

Each country also has their own way, in Holland/Belgium it would be "van", "van het" (or "van 't"), "van de" (or "v.d"). France (or South Belgium) would be "des", "de la", or "du", etc. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Every country in the world trains in their own language and names their dogs in their own language, except the US (maybe the UK too ). Still amusing to me. But on the plus side, it often helps distinguish the American bloodline breeders from those breeding German lines. American naming convention is usually something like "Polly's Fluffybutt Beefcake" or "King Tut's Fruitfly".

John Stopps Webboard User Reg: 03-10-2008 Posts: 238 Loc: Offline	So really, it doesn't denote anything special between the different german naming conventions? So "Doggy vom Leerburg" and "Doggy auf Leerburg" are the same? Rommel vom Kozies

Ofcourse, with the decision between von der or vom, or the other abbreviations in other languages, it's purely up to the owner whether he likes the sound of the abbreviation better than the longer version, since both are grammatically correct.
