In France, dog owners follow a mandated alphabetical naming convention for pedigree dogs that began in 1926. This system requires dogs born in a given year to start with specific letters, with 2025 names beginning with 'W' and those from 2024 starting with 'V.' Some letters, including K, Q, W, X, Y, and Z, are excluded for being less common. While primarily aimed at purebreds registered with the LOF, many mixed breed owners also participate. Creative adaptations exist, such as altering names to comply with the letter assigned to the year.
"In France, pedigree dogs must be named according to an alphabetical system dictated by the year of birth, dating back to 1926 for tracking purebreds."
"Dogs born in 2025 must have names starting with the letter W, while 2024 was assigned the letter V; certain letters are skipped due to difficulty."
