"Drake" is what we consider to be his "call" name. You need to think of his registration papers as his license plate which will be used forever, especially if he is to ever breed a female which is also registered.
Example: "Jordan's Big Drake" would be on his papers, but you just call him "Drake". Or "Deridder Drake" - the combinations are endless. People that have a named kennel, always throw in the name of the kennel somewhere to designate that dog is from their lines, (ie. "Candlewood Black Coal" with the call name of "Coal".
My female that just had a litter is actually my son Connor's dog. Her registered name is "Connor's Cajun CandyCane" or "Cane" for short. Hope this helps you understand the not so wonderful world of AKC...............(hate em')!
