Help options for dog.biz accounts

Setting Up Accounts – each account represents ONE ownership/partnership

The general principles are similar to filling in a paper Entry Form. For each account/(entry form) :-

(a) You state the Registered Name and Address of the dogs Ownership/Partnership.
(b) You enter the Registered Name of the Dog – date of birth – breeder – sire – dam etc.
Please Note: KC registration number or Stud Book number apply to dogs registered at the UK Kennel Club. The ATC number (Authority to Compete) is granted upon application by the UK Kennel Club for dogs which are registered in other countries

YOU NEED SEPARATE ACCOUNTS FOR EACH DIFFERENT OWNERSHIP
To set-up or use more than one account for different Ownerships/Partnerships....Logout of the account you are using by pressing the Logout button on the rhs of the screen. This takes you back to the Home page – there either Register a new account for a different Ownership/Partnership or Login to an already established account. So the principle is....
Login to an account – use it – Logout – Login to another account – use it – etc. Important – the details within your account will be used exactly as you have typed them, so their accuracy depends entirely upon you.

Making Dog Show Entries

The Accounts and Dog records that you set-up can be used time and time again for entry into Shows without any re-keying. So therefore after you have set up your account then....
Use the Option ´Enter My Dogs for a Show´
Select a Show from the list.
Tick (in lieu of signature) the Kennel Club Declaration box as the Owner of the dogs being entered.
Select all the dogs that you wish to enter into the show.
Choose the classes that you wish each dog to go into.
Choose any of the items specific to the show, such as Catalogues etc.
The system then gives you a summary of your entry – read it – if o.k. it then goes to the WorldPay site to take your secure payment by Credit Card or Debit Card.
Only when you have paid is your entry complete.

After the Entry has been made

You will receive an email confirmation from www.dog.biz detailing your entry into the Show.
If you Login to your account and choose the option ´My Historical Entries & Payments´ there you will see a list of the entries you have made from that account.
Your entry will be correct. If you need to comment about it then you should press the Reply button to the dog.biz email (which contains the entry detail). This would be for such a reason as benching the dog in a ´Handling for:´ situation or benching a NFC dog within a different breed.

Editing any details within your account

YOU NEED SEPARATE ACCOUNTS FOR EACH DIFFERENT OWNERSHIP
To change (edit) any information within your account. Choose whichever option you require: either My Personal Information or My Dog Database. Change the information and then press the Update button at the bottom of the screen for the changes to take effect. This will make your information correct for future entries
The www.dog.biz site forces certain principles upon your typing to give uniformity to all entries. The main principle is that it forces a cap and lowercase after any space. Therefore to have capital initial letters in your name you must put a space between them, after all they are separate words... The spelling out of Christian names is not supported.
Where the Owner and the Breeder are the same person press the tick box in the breeder field of the dog record and it will copy the details for you. This will result in the dog being ´br. Exh´ within its printed record.
Prefixes – Ch; Sh Ch etc. Suffixes – JW Sh.CM should be added via the Prefix or Suffix options to the dog name (not so for the sire and dam names). They are not part of the registered dog name. To add a prefix or suffix – select Edit for the dog – select the prefix or suffix – press the Update button at the bottom of the screen for the changes to take effect.
