There's no kennel management provided by APBR | American Pit Bull Registry Database. The kennel information is only stored as simple value in a dog's record. On the dog's update page you can choose from the existing list of kennels (in the textfield type the first letters and you will receive a list to choose from - be patient this may take a while depending on bandwidth and database size) or type in a new kennel name.
Adding a new (not yet stored in APBR | American Pit Bull Registry Database) sire or dam to a particular dog from
the update screen is not possible; there you can only choose from existing
sires and dams. Go to the details page of your dog instead and click onto
the "Add Dog"-link there to add a new sire or dam.
Also note, that for choosing an existing sire or dam you have to enter the
first three letters of the sire's or dam's registered name whereupon you
will receive all sires/dams in the database starting with these letters.
Please be aware that retrieving these lists can take some time depending
on bandwidth and databasesize. We therefore encourage you to use the "Add
Dog"-links on the pedigree of your particular dog.
