Improved Health Analysis

The health analysis allows you to view the health data of a dog's immediate relatives in a compact format, now with the option to filter for breed-relevant health information.

The link to the health analysis can be found on the dog’s profile page:

Health Overview within the Pedigree

When you land on the Health Analysis page, you will see a compact three-generation family tree of your dog by default, with health information displayed next to each ancestor - provided that such data exists and has been entered into the Breed Archive.

Using the 'Generations' drop-down box, you can view up to five generations. In addition to basic information such as name, country of birth, and year of birth, the following details are listed for each dog in this health-focused pedigree display, where available:

• Inbreeding coefficient
• Breed-relevant health information
• Other health issues and screening results
• Year of death and age at death
• Cause of death

Depending on how thoroughly individual dogs have been tested for various health issues, the display can become cluttered. To address this, a 'Health Information' drop-down menu allows you to filter specific health details - including cause of death - making it easier to review results across multiple generations.

Health Information for Direct Relatives

When analysing health, it is just as important to consider a dog’s direct relatives - such as siblings or offspring - as it is to review its ancestors. To support this, we provide a detailed list of names, dates of birth, dates of death, causes of death, and all breed-relevant health information, where available, for:

• Parents
• Siblings
• Half-siblings
• Offspring

You can access this list by selecting the 'Direct Relatives' tab, located next to 'Pedigree'. This view also allows you to filter specific health information using the drop-down menu.

We hope this feature makes it easier to explore and analyse health information, supporting informed decisions and transparency for the benefit of the breed.

Please note: The health information on the Health Analysis page provides a snapshot of the relevant data available in The Breed Archive at the time the page was created. No guarantee is given regarding the completeness or accuracy of this data, which is supplied by the user community.
