Does anyone know if there's a page on the KC site where you can check how many registered offspring a dog (or bitch) has produced? The KC direct me to the Mate Select section but I can't find anything there ( :-o ) but admit I find the site very confusing!
If you go to the Mate Select and put in the registered name or number of a said dog/bitch it will come up with his/her health test results, if you then click "compare to progeny" you will get the results of the progeny and at the top it says eg. "123 puppies from 12 litters have been registered with this dog as the sire".
I've tried that; I put in a known sire, clicked on 'Compare to Progeny' and there are no results for progeny and nothing about about number of puppies or litters. Can I PM you the link to the page to show you?
Then it's not much use really, is it? There are several tests that the KC doesn't record (BAER for instance), so the health test checker is limited; it'd be much more useful if they showed the total number of progeny registered, to help avoid 'popular sire syndrome'.
I hope they do, because in breeds where, in the KC's words, "none of the available Kennel Club testing schemes are relevant" the information on record and in the public domain is unaccessible.
