Registration suggestions
Having possession of your animal's papers is not a requirement for adding its Registration to its record. If you don't know its registration/identification number but believe it was registered, try adding the animal by name using the Add Registered Animal > Find Animal in Community Data function to see if there is a record for it in Community data. Alternatively, you might want to see if you can get the registration/identification number from the registry's online animal search.
Registration Suggestions
While you are creating a Folder for your animal, EasyKeeper may suggest one or more Registrations for the animal from a variety of sources, including:
- Information entered by members of the EasyKeeper Community
- Information contributed by cooperating breed registries
- The National DHIA number contributed by CDCB
- A registration number suggestion for the animal's native registry based on the animal's National DHIA identification number
It is important to note these are just suggestions, and you can delete or update any suggestion in the Add Animal form. If you later find you've erroneously accepted an invalid suggestion you can delete it from the Profile page.
Note: We've found some rare instances where we were unable to derive a proper suggestion due to missing, inaccurate or non-standard information in the CDCB database. We are continually working to improve our ability to translate the information provided by the CDCB.
It is important to verify all native registration suggestions with the issuing registry or the animal's registration papers before including them in the animal's Folder.
