All pedigree URLs can now be bookmarked. In the past a dog's record was tied to an index pointer, which could change as the database was modified. An index record ID number is still used, but a second check is performed to make sure the right dog is located. So, feel free to bookmark you dog's pedigree page.

Contact information in submission forms will now be validated through an automated e-mail process. When you submit or update a record, and use a new e-mail and/or IP address, an e-mail is sent with a URL to continue the submission process. Once validated, additional submissions will be accepted without this e-mail verification step (until your e-mail and/or IP address changes).
