在法国,今年出生的小狗必须拥有以W开头的名字,才能满足登记要求。 In France, pedigree dogs born this year must have names starting with "W" to meet registration requirements.

自1926年以来,法国一直要求根据与出生年份挂钩的按字母顺序排列的制度命名小狗。 Since 1926, France has required pedigree dogs to be named based on an alphabetical system tied to their birth year. 2025年,狗的名字必须从"W"开始, 在2024年的"V"之后。 In 2025, dog names must start with "W," following "V" from 2024. 这一传统最初用于跟踪纯种动物,正式适用于登记在册的狗,但也为许多混合种的狗所接受。 This tradition, originally for tracking purebreds, applies officially to registered dogs but is embraced by many for mixed breeds as well. 不遵守规定意味着纯种人不能在LOF注册, 类似于美国AKC的AKC, 业主们会找到创新的方法, 将名字与指定信件相匹配。 Non-compliance means purebreds can't be registered with the LOF, akin to the AKC in the U.S. Owners find creative ways to fit names to the assigned letters.
