Info & Tips

Use the Search Page or Quick Search on left before entering a new dog to avoid entering a duplicate dog.

To edit - use the search dogs box on the Add/Edit Dog page by typing a few letters of the dog's name (or part of the kennel name) - it will show a list of matching names, you select one, then hit submit. It will bring up that dog with the information it currently has. You can change and/or add information to all fields except for the name. You can also use the Quick Edit on a dog's pedigree page. To make corrections to the name, you will need to use the Note field to let us know what the name should be.

To add a new dog - click on the link that says "To Add a dog, please click here" near the top of the Add/Edit page.

If the dog's name is the same as an existing dog (but is not the same dog, different dob, different registry, etc) add the Reg Number to the name like this: Don's Best Dog (W123456).

Date of birth must be in the format YYYY-MM-DD (exp 1986-01-01) with the dashes. If unknown, skip the field. If only a partial birth-date or an approximate date, you can enter it in the Year field.

Photo: Default stock photo is a black & tan. You can change this by choosing a matching color from the drop-down box. Or you can submit a photo by choosing Custom Photo and then the upload button.

Sire/Dam, if not in the database, you can quick add them by using the Add New Dog link below the Sire or Dam search box.

If Sire/Dam ARE in the database, make sure to select (click) them from the results box after you've typed part of the name in the Search Dogs box.

Notes Box - this is a public field, don't put anything there you don't want the world to see.

Double-check your info before submitting - your changes will post to the database right away.

Hit Submit - you will go to a page thanking you and will have a link to the dog you just edited/added.

Important - click on this link to make sure the dog's information is there & entered correctly.
