History of Likozi

You are looking for a puppy. After a lot of searching you walk into a puppy, which you are happy with. Nice daddy, nice mommy, but than the name... You can think about it what you like but sometimes this is not working. It not original enough or it doesn’t sound nice. Our breeder Rens and Mariette Trappel pointed us to a website whit a lot of African names. The name should start with the letter “L” en because we already had a dog named Luca, it should sound different. We start looking especially for a mountain en yes; this is why Likozi is named after the Mountain Likozi!

After you found the name you want to know what it exactly means. Therefore the internet is very useful, so start searching! At first we found satellite pictures with the area the mountain is located:
