PHR Database Frequently Asked Questions How many Poodles are in the PHR database? As of April 2008 there more than 115,000 Standard Poodles and more than 87,000 Miniature and Toy Poodles in the PHR Database. Where does the health information come from? Dogs registered with the Poodle Health Registry have their health information included. These dogs, as with other registries, are submitted by their owners with the necessary paperwork. In addition we have included the SA dogs and Addisons dogs from the UK Standard Poodle Club SA and AD registries. These dogs are marked with a [SPC]. Also included are the dogs from the old Genetic Disease Control in Animals SA Registry, they are marked with a [GDC]. Additionally dogs from OFA's SA registry (affecteds and subclinicals only) have been added. The OFA VWD affecteds and carriers have been added, and we are in the process of adding the dogs tested clear of VWD via a DNA test. The OFA dogs are marked with [OFA]. Some hip status information from the Norwegian Kennel Club (NKK), the Swedish Kennel Club (SKK), the Finnish Kennel Club (KoiraNet), and the Danish Kennel Club (DKK) is also included The details about each dog (when diagnosed, etc) are available from the registry designated. The details on PHR registered dogs are available here. How do the OFA hip results compare to the FCI hip results? Excellent = A-1 Good = A-2 Fair = B-1 Borderline = B-2 Mild = C Moderate = D Severe = E Normal = ua (older designation) Does the PHR Database include only affected dogs? No, for tests that can designate a dog free of the problem for life - for example a DNA test - we will register a dog as Tested Clear. Likewise we will register a dog as a Tested Carrier based on a DNA test. Where does the pedigree data come from? The Standard Poodle pedigree information is a subset of data from the Standard Poodle Database. (The SPD is a standalone Windows database that is available from the PCA Foundation for a $50 donation for poodle health research. A new version is available every June.) The Miniature and Toy Database was provided by Eva Mitchell. It is data entered by her (the first 40,000 dogs) and many others into the Poodle Pedigree Database. At this point we do not have health information included in the Mini/Toy database. But it is available here. The Poodle Health Registry is grateful for the use of these pedigree databases. When I search for dogs with SA, why do I only get dogs with SA in their name? The default Field to search is Name. You will need to change the Field to search to Affected as well as using SA for the Search String. What are the standard color designations used? The Standard Poodle data uses b = black, br = brown, bl = blue, cr = cream, w = white, cal = cafe au lait, sb = silver beige, s = silver, a = apricot, r = red, ch = chocolate, cha = champagne, g = gray, and brd = brindle. Plus there are combinations of these colors, e.g. b&w, br&a, etc. When I search on b for color, I get b, br, bl, br&w, etc dogs as well as black. How do I get just the black dogs? If you search on b for color, select "Exact Matches Only" in Step 4 to just get dogs with a color of b (black). Can I add a Dog to the database? If you want to add health information you can register your dog here. If you just want to add pedigree information you can request the addition of a dog here. Your dog will not be automatically added, but after verification should be included in the next update. There are missing dogs in a pedigree of interest to me. Can you add them? If you have the missing information you can submit it to us here. If you don't have the info, we may have access to it, there are many more dogs than time to enter them! Let us know what you are looking for here and we will see if we can find it. Is there a way to provide a link to a pedigree that I can email to someone or put on a website? Yes.
