Thank you to Admin.

I was thinking recently how much the database has been so helpful.

I was talking to a breed club for another breed I have and they are also building a pedigree database. I asked about putting a COI calculator but I was told that already people hardly submit any pedigree, and when any information is wrong they blame the admin instead of submitting corrections.

And that a lot of 'breeders' do not want a COI calculator on the pedigree site because they don't want others to know that information about their dog, about how tightly they are related, or any information like that.

I felt sad because that attitude is not helpful to the dogs or the breed, only serves to protect some 'breeders' personal interest.

Because of this site I am "spoiled".. I believe all breeds should have such a database and open information now!

So I am again thankful for this site and all the breeders and owners who do cooperate. This is a great site for the benefit of the entire breed and I admire all breeders who are so open with their information about their dogs!
