Say you have a dog that you have raised to the age of 18 months. its name and litter is in the data base. now lets say they it dies. is it proper to take it out the data base? no pups off it and no other record. now you can use the name again on another pup. at the same time it subtracts the number that was in the litter. THOUGHTS:
Good question ... and my thoughts are NO, don't get rid of it.Originally Posted by stopem
Leave it in. The dog was a legitimate dog, it lived, and "erasing it" is actually a falsehood of sorts.
Not to mention this database might be the only record (and memory) of its existence.
In fact, I have purposely added dogs of mine, that I loved, but that died prematurely for one reason or another ... if only to "let their memory live" somewhere.

good reason. im with you on that one
Agreed, and again, good question
At some point before I croak, I am going to document and record every dog I've bred (whether it lived or died), and every photo I took of it, for the reasons stated above.
