Pat, Don't you DARE apologize!! I mean, you can if you want, don't let me stop you BUT I just want you to know there is absolutely no reason for you to. THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking this on. It is a huge job even it you are doing it for the "interim". It can be a little confusing because of there being non-internet and internet versions of the database. The updates as I understand it, go into the non-internet database first. This is also the database that is used to generate hard copy reports and pedigrees (for a small fee). Eventually the internet version of the database gets updated - but as I understand it, this does require some effort and is not something that is done on a daily or even weekly basis. Berner-Garde is an amazing source of information and it is exciting to see more pet owners taking the initiative to enter their dogs in this database, even if their breeder doesn't help (I am a breeder who does help facilitate getting health data on pups I have bred, into this database).
