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

Let me clarify what I was saying. I love the test breeding feature, nothing like it anywhere. What I was trying to say is if I make a test breeding and want to look at it bred to another test breeding that may take place years down the road. It would be unlimited and gives the breeder a direction if he saves it. In other words look 2, 3 generations down the road without placing fake peds in the data base. Example of what im saying;
http://www.thepitbullbible.com/forum...557&dam_id=819 Bred to http://www.thepitbullbible.com/forum...394&dam_id=819 Just put them together as another test breeding or if you just wanted to make another tab for planned future breedings for breeders that won't save or take up room.

What you're not understanding is that in order to "put" two dogs together in the Test Breeding feature, each dog used has to EXIST in the database (i.e., BE STORED).

The test breedings you're making are only mock-ups; the breeding created is NOT actually stored; the "test breeding" merely displays two ACTUAL dogs together (without storing the data you're seeing).

The only reason we can "display" a test breeding is because the two dogs you're plugging into the Test Breeding page ARE actual dogs and ARE stored.

The ONLY way you could make a second test breeding (with both your original test breedings put together) would be to STORE the results of the first two test breedings.

For the 10th time: You can only plug-in an ACTUAL dog to be able to see a test breeding

Just stop and THINK for a minute: how could you possibly "search" for any dog, to plug it into the Test Breeding feature, that wasn't IN the database?

Therefore, once again, you are asking us to allow you to create and STORE bullshit pedigrees, so you can "see" what two bullshit (prospective, but not actual) breedings "look like" ... which we are unwilling to provide the storage space to do.

Edit: In order to realize your idea, we would have to create a separate "false Pedigree" database where any dog created by a Test Breeding would have to be STORED and then designated as "Theoretical," so other people would realize it was a Theoretical Dog, not an Actual Dog. Worse, this group of "fake dogs" would also have to be coded differently, so they would be unsearchable in the "real" dog database, and YET be searchable in the Test Breeding feature (which right now ONLY searches ACTUAL dogs, not theoretical dogs). Right now, the Test Breeding feature only allows you to see what two ACTUAL dogs would look like bred together, so we would have to allow it also to search a brand new "Fake Dog Database," created just for you.

Your idea of creating depth to the Test Breeding feature, to mate two NON-Actual dogs together, "sounds like a great idea" ONLY if you're NOT thinking too deeply about what it would take to do, and the ramifications of doing it. It would require a ton of work, it would introduce the need for a totally new database, a totally new search engine (to be able to search for NON-actual dogs, and distinguish them from actual dogs), and it would require unlimited bandwith/storage space ... adding a LOT of confusion ... all so that people can "fantasize" about dogs that don't exist, and represent nothing but the imagination

Um, NO

[Bingo]

You could give each member two ped spots that must be labeled as test breeding. Vise grip test breeding #1 and Vise grip test breeding #2.Then we would have the ability to go back and edit and look a little bit more into future breedings.

Nevermind man, you made a suggestion forum and I made a suggestion that you used (more than one slot for pictures on the breeding made tab) so I was giving you another that might would help the "Ferrari" be even better. I wouldn't get anything out of it either way.

I would like to suggest bringing back the favorite dog feature, if it's possible. I miss having my favs all in one place instead of constantly having to use the search or going through the whole list of peds I entered.

Okay, will discuss.

Jack/ Moderators,

I can no longer access the sections of this site that is reserved for paying members. I don't believe my yearly subscription has lapsed and I do not believe I have committed any infractions that would have banned me. I tried to subscribe once again but the only option is to buy the site Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys!

Also, I am very saddened to hear of Jacks departure from the dogs and this site. I completely understand his reasons and know he will succeed in anything he puts his mind too but non the less, I'm saddened. I really hope some good people step up to the plate to carry the torch. It is hard to imagine someone as talented, motivated and sincere as Jack carrying this forward but I sure hope it happens. Happy New Year to everyone.

Are these two books not being published anymore?

I know the web site is up for sale but the books are printed on demand at LULU press. They are not showing there now and Amazon has the Pit Bull Bible for $500 and up --

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ls?ie=UTF8&me=

Ouch! I have my copy but I recommended it to someone who said they could not get it.

Seems a shame to shut down the books too since they are already written and LULU handles all the printing and shipping.

Also, I guess this means no future Vise-Grip Kennel book either Unfortunately there is only one Ca. Jack and he can only be spread so thin. Damn, I'm glad I have his old books already.
