general information

CALL NAMES are often the only name known. In those cases, the Breeder’s Kennel Name is used to preface the Call Name in the Name Column. If you should find such a listing that you know the Registered Name for, please complete the “Correction To Existing Data” form so that we may update this record.

HEALTH TESTING as a result of extensive research and reprogramming, we have been able to include health testing on the breeding report. Health data reports is true to the best of our knowledge. Report any errors as soon as they are discovered so that we may update our records.

LITTERS are recorded using a general code to identify their existance.
i.e. year :: dam/sire :: date of birth (1991 :: Abbey/Sask :: 05251991)
When the exact date of birth is not known, either the first, fifteen, or thirtieth is used as the program requires the date to be written MM/DD/YYYY. It is also noted in the complete record that this information is approximate.

PICTURES, if available, will be included within the first two generations of a pedigree. The pictures have been collected by a variety of our contributors from a variety of sources over the course of several years. They are only available in a thumbnail format to maintain internet fair-use terms.

REGISTERED NAMES are recorded to the best of our knowledge. In some cases, corrections may need to be made. If you should find such a correction is needed, please complete the “Correction To Existing Data” form.

additional information

The database project contains more complete information than is available through this online program. Programming and layout parameters limit the ability to display some of the information. The team is continually working on ways to provide as much information as possible for our registered users.

Some information will never be available online in consideration for respect of privacy.

database file

The individual database file is not available for individual distribution.

We are happy to report that as of July 2011, the entire project is now available online. It will be continually updated on a regular basis in an effort to provide our registered users with the most current data we have available.

Search parameters are limited (number of click per 24-hour period) to help prevent against data harvesting.
