((( ALL DATABASE UPDATES / QUESTIONS / SUGGESTIONS GO HERE )))

[Officially Retired]

No one has any input on this?I remember reading that a certain peddler didnt want to DNA his stud.He was against doing it because of the law against breeding for certain purposes.

I personally would never, at any time, waste either my time or my effort in getting one of my own studs DNA Profiled.

This is usually done only by either neophytes, or people on a gung-ho campaign to further-"legitimize" paper tigers.

As a breeder, I have always posted my breedings, my pups, their history as they grew up, year-after-year, and so pretty much everyone who followed my dogs "knew" what was what with my yard.

Those who didn't know, could follow the photos and documentation.

If that wasn't good enough, and if they couldn't take me at my word, then I guess I would have to learn to live without their approval

And, regarding pure performance dogs, I promise you no one will be asking to breed to Gr Ch Titere because his owner got him "DNA-profiled"

What is everyone opinions on adding a tab for DNA profiles?

That being said, we could add a checkbox (with a space to record a DNA Profile #) to the features, sure.

My opinion isn't all opinions, and it is storable data regardless.

@CA Jack
Can I delete my own "Test Breedings"?

Are you putting your test breedings into the actual breeding database?

The test breeding feature stores NOTHING, that is the whole purpose of having a test breeding feature is NOT to add bullshit (never-actually-happened) breedings into the actual, Add Breeding data tables.

Please tell me you haven't been "missing the whole point" and adding non-existent crap into our physical data tables

No, I never added any breeding to the database. And of course I would never add only a test breeding into the actual, Add Breeding data tables! That's why we have the test breeding feature. I'm not that stupid! But it could have been that also the test breeding feature stores test breedings. So it stores nothing, cool. But also after watching the specific video tutoral I had doubts whether it does and that's why I asked before starting to test breed, hence the saying "when in doubt find out". Actually the whole thought behind my question was that some of us might want to "privately" test a few breedings without others to see their planning/work in progress.

I repeat, no, I have never ever added non-existent crap into our physical data tables. To the contrary together with S_B I helped to clean up the database more than once. Therefore I want you to please revoke my (B) status and give me my rights back. Thanks!

Please restore the themes for I used "basic light style" and became really accustomed to it and it would be nice to have it back. Thanks!

We will do so soon, yes.

Jack

When will you have restored the themes, Jack?

I personally I don't see why Jack shouldn't add a checkbox (with a space to record a DNA Profile #) to the features, sure. It is up to each and every dog owner whether he wants to have his dogs DNA-profiled or not as to add it to the database or not. And I have to quote Jack once again "it is storable data regardless". But like him I think that regarding pure performance dogs, I guess people's decision whether to breed to Gr. Ch. .... will not depend on the fact whether his owner got him DNA-profiled or not, it's about his performance and/or producing record. Also people who are in the performance part of these dogs usually know each other or know somebody that knows somebody who knows whether the dog is bred as said or not. It is a tight-knit circle of real dog men at least in the respective countries/regions. On the other hand it would be a lie to deny the fact that there are for sure cases where it is under discussion whether a certain dog is bred as said/as papered or not. We all know about it or at least heard of these cases.

But back to your question Bingo. If somebody would ask me, yes, I would vote for a checkbox (with a space to record a DNA Profile #).

Okay, thanks.

1) Please post everything where it belongs. Do not make your own individual posts.

2) That would be easy to do.

Why do you find it worth a "thumbs up" and how do you feel a "reverse pedigree" like this would be helpful?

Because it can give you an idea and direction of where certain lines are going and look at what combinations have been used with certain dogs. You can also look at multiple branches and check which dogs have been used extensively over a period of time and possible find combinations and individuals who can point you in the right direction.

I remember the Reverse Pedigree feature from CompuPed Back in the early 90s.

Haven't seen anyone really use that for decades.

I can see the value now, thinking about it.

We may well implement this, after we deal with some other upgrades and features.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I think it would be a good idea if the "Test Breeding" feature could be set to store the test breedings for the members until either the breeding actually takes place, at which time it could be converted over to a breeding made. Or until the members clears or deletes the saved data.

This would possibly deter the clogging up of the actual breedings made pedigrees. Maybe you could give each member enough space to store 4 test breedings. I think I would use this feature, as it stands now I just put the text breeding together and screen shot the page.

Jack this could be taken a step further and actually make all breedings a "Test" breeding with the ability to later turn into an actual breeding made once the date of the breeding is entered. Instead of two separate tabs, what do you think about that?
