I have a website for Chessies that includes a pedigree database. The pedigrees include all health clearances, including ones like PRA, EIC, etc. One can search the database and get a list of all dogs with EIC clearances, for instance, or an OFA number, or a particular title. The list of names then has links off it to pedigrees, litters, half-sibs, and so forth.
Would a database of this type be of interest to other retriever breeds? I am thinking about including similar databases for other retriever breeds to the site and broadening the audience somewhat, as the informational pages apply to almost all breeds, but retrievers, especially.
Lisa, this sounds like a great database! Golden people are pretty addicted to www.k9data.com. The problem is that it was not meant to be a health database, so one cannot search by health clearances.
There is now a database for Golden DNA testing, www.GoldenDNA.org, which is free for listing results or using. Unfortunately, for prcd-PRA, for example, we only have about 1/3 of the dogs tested who are listed there. The owners of the dogs tested must take the initiative to publish the results, since Optigen will not do so.
Informational pages cover basic genetic principles, individual pages for health topics, links and forms for obtaining health clearances, and so forth. Still, I think most people use the site just for the database, lol!
