changing names

i was looking at breeder's web sites and notice the dogs were named. i didn't like any of the names. so i was wondering do they really call them this or do they just us it as I.D. so could you change the dogs names

More often than not the person that ends up as the owner gives the dog what is know as a "call" name. The call name is usually some derivation of the registered name.
