Every good breeder has a kennel name - it proudly identifies dogs as coming from their kennel, kind of like a brand name on a product. Sometimes, often when they co-own a litter with the owner of the opposite parent, they will include THAT kennels name in the registered name, also. In the case of a show dog, then all the titles the dog wins are added to the dogs name - Ch. for Champion (conformation title - means the dog has earned enough points being judged against the breeds standard to prove it is is a good representative of its breed), CD for Companion Dog (an obedience title from points earned for properly following commands), TT for Temperment Tested (means the dog has been tested for its reactions to different situations & acts properly according to its breed standard - i.e. protective if a gaurding breed, non-hostile if a companion breed), etc.
So, you may see a dog with a registered name like "Ch. Willow Glens Aphrodite of Bridgewater, CD, TT" - the kennel Willow Glen owned the mother, the kennel Bridgewater owned the father, and the dog has conformation, obedience, and temperment titles. But the owners probably call the dog in from the yard by yelling " Hey, Dottie, come on in!" LOL!

What supplies do I need before adopting a 1 year old dog?
Julia
I'm adopting a doggy named Elmo from the shelter. I've already got an idea of what I need for him but could someone give me a list of things?? Also what can I do to make him feel comferitable? Thank you!!
He's a 17 pound Poodle possibly shih tzu mix.

Awww, it's fantastic that your rehoming a dog from a shelter! My Jack Russell was from a shelter and she's only 12 weeks old now, so i'll tell you what i bought!
You haven't said much about Elmo's personality, whether he's a little nervous or anything? But most dogs are going into a new home.
Sorry if i state the obvious...:)
-Dog food, preferably the same brand they are feeding him at the shelter, that way if you want to change it you can do it gradually by mixing and phasing the old out and to avoid stomach upsets.
-Some healthy treats, like mini snack bones e.t.c, so you can reward good behaviour.
-Flea drops, the drontal or frontline one-drop stuff is good.
-Wormer drops, Tablets are best and easiest but the panacur paste is good too, whichever your dog will take easiest is best- if in doubt i'd get it presribed by your vet.
-Dog bed, a comfy, squishy one so that your dog is comforted and warm.
-Fleecy blanket, to put in his bed, give him cuddles, or put on the sofa for him to lie on.
-Toys, Lots! Like dog bones filled with tasty stuff and a ball or something to play fetch with him. Playing games will help you bond :)
-Pee Post, he's probably toilet trained at one, but whether he is or isn't a pee post is good cause you can show your dog it's allocated place in the garden as dogs go in the same place as a habit.
-OR puppy pads, if he's not toilet trained. The scent attracts dogs to go on them and helps with accidents.
-Adjustable puppy collar- will allow you to tag him and so you can take him for walks, and you can make it bigger as he grows.
-Lead...
-Puppy Shampoo, a mild one. Your dog will probably only need to be bathed a couple of times a year...unless he's long coated? Then he'll need it more often.
-Food and water bowl, Non slip stainless steel bowls are the best.
-Grooming brush, if he's short haired, once every couple of weeks, if he's long, will help you keep him free of tangles and prevent some of the shedding going in your home if used a few times a week.
-Kennel, crate, pen? If you want to use this as a bed rather than a squishy bed and somewhere to keep him when you do out.
-Dog repellent product, if he's a chewer?
-Dog carrier, if desired, to take him in car e.t.c
What i did on the first night with Ella was assign her a corner in my room (you might decide to use you living room e.t.c?). I put her bed there (some people prefer to use a crate) with some towels on the floor (incase of accidents) along with a puppy pad (in hope that she would pee on there) and some toys. I bought a pen enclosure to go around, because it didn't cage her in with a roof or anything and she had a large sleeping area, so she felt comforted and not alone because she was near me and not restricted.
When we first brought her home, we let her explore everywhere downstairs and we all sat in the living room on the floor quietly without looking at her so she could come and explore us and get used to us. When she whined being alone on her first night, I didn't talk to her, i just picked her up, let her outside to pee and put her straight back in her bed. If she continued to whine, that meant she just wanted atention so I didn't go to her as this teaches them that they can cry to get what they want. It's really important that you reward any good behaviour (like going to the toilet in the right place) because that's how he will learn. Getting into a routine of feeding and walks from the start will mean he'll learn quickly. If he does something wrong or nervously nips at someone, a stern clap disrupts the dog followed by 'No'. Don't shout at him or use his name to tell him off! The first few days you'll need to be patient, affectionate and give him time to get to know you and his new home. Give him plenty of 'good boys' and treats, and plenty of cuddles and reassurance. He needs to know that you are boss from the start :)
I hope everything goes brilliantly with Elmo and i hope i helped! I'm sure he'll be a great dog and that you're giving him a loving home!
