If you see the name of the dog you are looking for, click the name and click [search] or [enter] on your keyboard. If you don’t see the name, continue to add characters until you have the full name entered. If you don’t see the dog you are looking for, check the spelling and try again. If you still do not see the dog you are looking for, proceed to B. If you are unsure of the spelling, try entering the first two or three characters and click search or press [enter] on your keyboard.

Furthermore, if you do not know the name of the dog you are looking for, but have some other details about the dog (DOB, Sire or Dam for example), you can search the database using other criteria.

Data such as Sire, Dam, Date of Birth, Breed, Sex, Breeder, Owner, Status Detail will help to narrow your search. Once details are entered for each field you want to search (the more information entered the more filtered your search will be), press the [Search] button at the bottom of the table.  Any dogs that meet these criteria will appear to the right for you to select.
