FlatcoatData

Coefficients of Inbreeding are now calculated for each dog and appear in the pedigrees. Please note that this is still a work in progress and there will be further changes over the next few weeks. You will find that the figure will generally tend to be higher than those produced by the UK Kennel Club Mate Select (which are a minimum figure as there are very few complete generations for some reason). Our calculations are based on more complete generations (up to 9 ) and also include dogs from other countries which appear in the pedigrees. Used in conjunction with the highlighting duplicates feature on a pedigree it is a very powerful tool. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU CAN NOW TURN OFF COIs WHEN YOU WANT TO PRINT PEDIGREES.

Autumn Breed Records - Litters and Health now uploaded.

The latest issue of the excellent Italian Retrievers Club magazine is now available on line http://www.retriever-magazine.it/.

Many thanks to Mike Herwin of World Pedigrees who has allowed me to use his data. His database goes back to pre 1900 and includes a lot of data on dogs outside the UK. There are over 13,000 dogs on his database and will be a fantastic addition to the site and fill in many of the missing gaps. (April 2010)

Pre 1989 colour was not published in the Breed Records so there may be some dogs included in this report who were Liver.

Under Reports there is a "Virtual Mating" option - input a Sire and a Dam and it will show a full five generation pedigree in an Excel document and with "Duplicates Highlighted" ticked it will show dogs duplicated within that pedigree highlighted in different colours. You may find it easier to see the whole pedigree if you change Zoom to 75%. The same feature has also been added to an individual dog's record under 4. Pedigree. "Test Mating" dog will remain so that you can check on the health data for a prospective sire and dam.
