I don't want to reinvent something but enhance it. For example, the health certifications this one just lists HD, ED, and PRA (I think that's a health cert?). I've spoken to some owners here and all 3 breeding kennels and they'd like to see: |
Haha, nobody uses Pedigree database
Ok, I can understand people, who want to know as much as possible about their dog's health, but isn't this kind of database a little bit too much? Aren't you afraid of narrowing genopool even more? We allready read scary stories about people neutring their DM/N dogs. Look:
- DM (Degenerative Myelopathy) - Not Tested - N/N - N/a - a/a
- OFA Hips (not tested, tested + a text field for results)
- PENN Hips (not tested, tested + a text field for results)
- CERF (not tested, tested + a text field for results)
- Elbows (not tested, tested + a text field for results)
- Patella (not tested, tested + a text field for results)
- Heart (not tested, tested + a text field for results)
- Thyroid (not tested, tested + a text field for results)
plus
- Height
- Dwarfism
- Bite/teeth set
- Training
Does it really seem sensible? What if a dog will still have some "weak" parts? Won't this dog become undesirable for breeding? What if we could test some very popular studs, that are no longer alive? Do you really think they would "meet" every punkt here?
