Pedigree Database Updates

The German Shorthaired Pointer database has been updated with numerous new dogs and a continuation of the data clean up I have been performing over the past few weeks.  With over 6,600 records in the database we currently have about a 99.96% data accuracy rate.

I am always on the look out for pedigree’s to add to the database.  If you have a file you would like to send me you can send it to
.
The goal is to have over 10,000 dogs in the database by years end with a 99.999% accuracy rate and to add 10,000 dogs a year in 2007, 2008, and 2009.

We do not plan to change the interface with the database but we do hope to add new features, specifically the ability to add records and validation links directly to the database.  Unlike many on-line pedigree database ours only includes German Shorthaired Pointers.

If you know PHP programming and MySQL and would like to help with this conversion please contact me.  Currently the application is CGI based.  The XML format can be located here.  This file is exported into XML format from Breedmate.  Breedmate is the application I use to store pedigree’s locally. 

The Web based version is from Alfirin Technologies.
