Changes for 2013

There are now over 30,000 dogs in the Beauceron Pedigree database! Please continue to send new dogs and any corrections or missing information. I need your help! Please feel free to submit any dog you find missing. The more dogs entered, the more useful the database will be.

27 February 2013

Uploaded a new database. Updated the Beauceron Links, Clubs, Standard, Conformation, Obedience, and Agility pages.

I have entered all the dogs and all the photos I have received. I had email problems, so if you submitted a new dog or changes, or a photo that does not show up in the database, please resubmit it. Thanks

Changes for 2012

March 2012

Uploaded a new database. The database has over 29,000 dogs now.

Changes for 2009

21 March 2009

I have finally finished most of the changes for a major overhaul to the website. This consisted of changes to every page on the site. The new pages have been uploaded and are now active. I have changed all the pages from ".htm" to ".php" so I can dynamically load information. This will make changes and updates a whole lot easier to make. I have also added a verification process in all the form handling, so all forms are back online again. Hopefully, the verification process will eliminate the large amount of spam I was receiving from the forms.

Forms are now available again for Submitting Dogs , Submitting Litters, Submitting Links, and Submitting Breeders. A verification has also been added to the Guestbook.

If everything works as it should, the changes should be invisible to all the visitors to About Beaucerons. Only the background process has changed. If you find something that does not work, please contact me.

My next major task is to move the photo gallery to a new server. Once that is done, people will be able to upload photos again.


January - March 2009

NEW or UPDATE is listed for things that have been added or changed.

I have added new agility videos to Soleil's Agility Runs page.

I've been busy! I've not only moved my site to a new server, but I have also added many new things to About Beaucerons. First of all, please check out my new Guestbook. Feel free to sign it or if you prefer, you can now use the guestbook to send me a private note.



There are many new changes to the pedigree database. You can now not only see all siblings for a selected dog, but now all half-siblings on the sire's side and half-siblings on the dam's side. You can find this information by selecting [BREEDING INFO] for any dog.

Another new feature is the [Reverse Pedigree]. This will show you all the offspring, the offspring's offspring, etc. of a selected dog. Be careful how many generations you select for this. With some of the popular sires, this display can become quite large.

I added a number of things to the Beauceron Pedigree Database FAQs. If you have never read it, go check it out. You may find you can do a lot more with the database then you realize.

I have also changed the format a bit on the pedigree displays. Please let me know what you think - good or bad. I have also added a bit more information to the selected dog. I now display the color, owner, and breeder (if known).

As always, please feel free to submit any updates, corrections, or new dogs to me.

I have started to add photos to the pedigree's. If you would like to help me out with this, you can email me a photo of your dog. Send the photo to admin@aboutbeaucerons.com. Please remember to include the full name of the dog. Please keep all photo's under 100KB.

October 2002
It has been a difficult month, but I think everything is back up and working again. I hope I have seen the last of my server problems. During the change over, I decided to replace the old guestbook. I never liked the old one, but it worked, and I was always too busy with other things to replace it. Please check out the new Guestbook. I think it is a lot better then the old one. Please feel free to sign it and let me know what you think.

I have also added some new links to Beaucerons Around the World for the Netherlands, Italy, and France.

October 2002 *** Important Notice - Part 3 ***
