Hmmm, I understand what you mean. In fact, there are several "imaginary" breedings to Silverback right now, that I might take the time to delete.

Still, it's a double-edged sword as a host for a pedigree database, and it could even be a double-edged sword for you. For instance, suppose you were going to do an imaginary breeding to a stud you liked, but the computer ped program wouldn't let you do it, you probably wouldn't like that either. You couldn't even align your bitch up with this stud to see how it looked "on paper." I guess you could buy a pedigree program and do it at home, but I think doing this is part of the "fun" of having a database.

What will probably happen is I will enter a basic database of all the "core" dogs, and then people can link to them as they wish. Each user can set their own dogs to be un-editable, while the dogs they enter that aren't theirs will be editable. In the end, I will just probably have to correct or delete certain peds (or hire someone to do this), and will give severe warnings (or worse) for intentional abuse.

I want this to be a positive community where people don't always have to be "on guard" for abuse or clowning around, but can just enter their pedigrees in peace. However, I honestly don't think someone wanting to breed to your dog, and taking a look at it, is abuse ... and, while it might be nicer if they took down the theoretical breeding, I wouldn't consider it an infraction if they did not. (However, talking trash on someone's pedigree is something else again, and is a whole other issue that most definitely should not exist in a positive community.)
