(litters,pedigrees,showresults,health results, working results, fotos and so on)
This is very good page with lot of info, but if there is mistakes / faults in data / results, who is responding about this in the last case? (or anyone?)
as i noticed that very often info/data is posted by somebody else than owner of the dog.

There are different sources.
- We get the information from dog show catalogues, internet pages. Breeders send us information about their litters, and the owners about their own dogs. Such information is added to the database and marked as "possible". Or better said "
unofficial".
- We get information from the official registries - club magazines and pedigree books. Such information is added to the database and marked as "
official".
At the moment the information
official / unofficial is visible only for us but in the new database it will be visible for all users. So it will be easy to see which data is "sure" and which not.
BUT.... there will be always some mistakes. Especially when it comes to the data about the breeders and owners.
The reason is simple - there are mistakes and wrong data even in the official registries. We found some wrong data even in the old lines (for example the "problem of two Maxa's
) in the Czech pedigree book by CMKU.
So we try to keep the data as correct as we can. But it will be never possible to have everything 100% correct. Even if we will have the data compared with the official pedigrees...
Sometimes it is really hard to keep it correct and the last litters are the best examples. The French breeder send information about puppies born in his kennel and the information about this French litter was added to the database. Later we get official information from Holland were the SAME litter was registered as Dutch litter. And it was the reason why the same litter was listed twice in the database...
There was even more crazy story. We get information from one Italian breeder that their dogs will have a litter in France by their friends.
I added it. After it I get an angry email from the French breeder that it is wrong and it is not his litter and I must change it - list this litter as Italian litter.
I changed it. In the end I get final information about this puppies where it was written the puppies will have...the French kennel name.
So I had to change it AGAIN. As you can see there can be strange stories even about the information sent by the breeders about their OWN litters...
The same is with owners.... sometimes they are not sure about the data about their own dogs and they wait months till they get the pedigree and can send us the correct data. Sometimes they get even wrong information about their own dogs from the breeder and first when they have the pedigree they find out the name of the dog is different as the breeder told them. Sometimes even the dog is wrong - other chip number as written on the pedigree...
People make mistakes...
And the only solution is to send us correction every time you will find a mistake in the database... We will be really grateful for it...
