How can I add or update a dog?
You have to create an account with World Amstaff Database to be able to update or add a dog.
Go to the Login page and click
onto "Create an Account".
Why can't I delete a dog/person?
Due to security reasons the deletion of a whole record (dog or person) is only allowed to World Amstaff Database administrators. Therefore please always
check the list of available dogs/persons presented to you during the add-process, before adding a new dog/person. Anyhow, if you happen to
create a wrong new dog/person entry or have found a record you would like to delete, please contact the
World Amstaff Database Administrator.
What about kennels?
There's no kennel management provided by World Amstaff Database. The kennel information is only stored as simple value in a dog's record. On the
dog's update page you can choose from the existing list of kennels (in the textfield type the first letters and you will receive
a list to choose from - be patient this may take a while depending on bandwidth and database size) or type in a new kennel name.
How to add sire or dam for a dog?
Adding the sire or dam to a dog is best done by using the pedigree's "Add
Dog"-links on the detail page. If you know, that your dog's father
or mother is already available in the database you could also use the input
fields on the update-page. There you would have to enter the first three
letters of the sire's or dam's registered name and you will receive all
sires/dams in the database starting with these letters. Please be aware
that retrieving this list may last long depending on bandwidth and database
size. We therefore encourage you to use the "Add Dog"-links on
the pedigree of your particular dog.
How to manage persons, owners, breeders?
The management of persons in World Amstaff Database allows to add persons, browse persons, view and change details of a person.
Please be aware that the deletion of persons is only allowed to World Amstaff Database Administrators!
A person in World Amstaff Database can (but does not need to) have the role of "breeder" or/and the role of "owner".
In principle persons are added to World Amstaff Database by clicking on the "Add Person" entry in the menu which you
can find on top of each page, see Screenshot A:

Please note: It is possible to enter more than one breeder or owner for a dog. Moreover clicking on the symbol next to a name, does only remove this person as breeder or owner of a dog but does not delete the person from the database!
