* The data base consists of all recorded registrations from 1900 to the present day. All records are constantly updated, approx 10,000 new ones a year.

The accuracy of all the English data can be verified and data can only be entered by myself. If a dog has a BRS number in 'Details' once you have the pedigree on screen you can see where you can verify the data with KC records. Any dog's pedigree that does not have a reference number then acuracy of the data must be treated with care. Overseas dogs are now added on request provided they have English links.

Before 1982 when the records were entered into computers, duplicate names were allowed. This affects the pedigrees so the duplicates now have the year of birth in the title to make them unique. When the early data was merged into the computer it was obvious that some dates of birth were incorrect as well as a percentage of the sires. This was because of the extended pedigrees of unregistered dogs. Often a breeder only registered the dog he kept and if a litter mate was registered several years later when she was bred from, the date of birth of the dam was not always correct. Some question marks are therefore set by the side of these dates, but the recorded ones have been left in.

The pedigrees have 'heat coding' which goes from deep red to pale pink depending on the depth of the inbreeding. Boxes at the bottom of the pedigree give you the percentage of inbreeding. You can also bring up the litter listing of a dog/bitch. Where possible photographs are included in the pedigree. A stud dog list is available and hip, elbow and eye certificates are on these pedigrees.
