Mago 0 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Some time ago I started a campaign to persuade the Kennel Club to change its policy regarding their Data Base for all Pedigree Dogs registered with them. I sent out thousands of emails asking people to lobby the KC about this matter. The tactic worked and the KC announced after Crufts in March that they were working on this matter and the Data Base would soon be accessible . Two days ago this came to fruition. The link to this can be found on my website www.terrierworld.co.uk At long last the Data Base for Pedigree Dogs has been made available by the Kennel Club. I initially had concerns that the only information accessible would be your own Data. This isn't so. Once you have created a MYKC Account, access is easy - by entering a user name and your password. The interface is bright and easy on the eye. The three Tabs on the second line of the opening page are the main points of interest: .'Home' 'My Dogs' and 'Tools And Resources' Home has a number of links to different parts of the Site and also replicates the tab 'My Dogs'. Click on 'My Dogs' and all of the Dogs that you have ever registered with the Kennel Club flow in. Pretty impressive I must say. 'Tools And Resources' opens up a lot of links which are most useful, but the main link is 'Look Up a Dog'. Click on this and you are given unfettered access to the Data Base for all registered dogs. A search box enables you to enter the Breed Name or part of it and the Breed is identified. Enter a part name of a dog for your chosen breed and a list appears. Choose one and a three generation pedigree is displayed. To research further you click on any of the names in the pedigree and this take you further into the pedigree. Congratulations are definitely in order here to the Kennel Club on a job well done. It was worth the wait. Tony Manning. Editor Terrier World. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Born Hunter 17,909 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Have a skim through the terrier section.......... see what 'proper' terriers look like........... then compare that to what the kc have produced.......... Compare a working russel or fell to that fox terrier featured on your website. With all due respect, the kc can bring out whatever spangly data base they want, it's not gonna fix the damage they have done and encourage to the islands great little dogs! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
