About animal records
How photographs, show results, additional information, and progeny summaries work on the breed database.
Photographs
We want to display photographs that the owner of the dog is happy with. For this reason, we are looking to owners to submit photographs of their dogs for inclusion. You should ensure that you have the permission of the person who took the photo.
Photograph requirements:
- Minimum 500 pixels high. We can reduce large photos but can’t enlarge thumbnails.
- Dog only please. People’s legs are fine; we’ll crop out smiling handlers.
Show results summary
Only UK championship show results are recorded in the results database. If your dog is an international competitor, please see the Additional Information section below.
Additional information
The additional information field is intended to give owners a flexible way to provide more information about their dog. The show results and breeding data that are generated on the site are automated database functions that are limited in their scope. This extra field can be used to provide information on foreign show success, past showing success in the UK which may not have made it to the results database yet, and other information which an owner may wish to share about their dog. Due to space limitations, there is a limit of 150 characters of additional information per dog. You can submit this information using the Submit information form.
Progeny on record
Progeny on record is a summary of the progeny that the database knows that particular animal has produced. The animal database does not consist exclusively of show dogs. The animals in the breeding behind a show dog are included out of necessity — you can’t make a pedigree otherwise. A good number of the animals in the database may never have seen a championship show ring, but if their breeding contributes to the show scene and top-level breeding generally then they will be included and be reflected in the progeny on record.
