Iliamnasquest, do you use a program to keep things straight? I currently have mine in an Excel document, but it's hottibly bulky and hard to navigate!
*LOL* ... I have a huge pile of word documents in table format - no, I don't use a program! I just put 5-6 generations on each page and use a numbering system to indicate the generations back from Khana and where I've gone on to other pages. Some of the pedigrees I was able to just print straight off of online pedigrees, which was handy. There are some massive databases for chows, luckily, and that is the only reason I was able to go that far back.
I've only really concentrated on the first six generations, researching them as to health mostly. I went through the OFA database and searched each dog for certifications, and did other online searches for any dog that wasn't listed in the OFA database. It was very time consuming!
