Scanned Documents
- Only the registration certificate is required on a new registered dog to show ownership, correct name, registration number and sire/dam information so the dog can be entered into the database. No documents are required for unregistered dogs (rescue, etc.)
- The scanned registration can be uploaded directly on the Dog Data Submission form.
- Other documents are added by uploading them from the appropriate section of the Dog Data Display once the dog is viewable in the database. For example, an OFA certification for Dog 221 is entered by displaying the record for Dog 221 and clicking on the Certs/Tests button. The lower display will include an option to Upload New Certification for adding the scanned image of the actual certificate plus other detail information.
- Scan documents at 150dpi in true color - even if it is a black/white document. If they are scanned at much higher resolution, the file will be larger. If they are scanned at much lower resolution, the print may not be legible.
- Make sure that images are at least 640 pixels WIDE (as normally viewed) and save files in .jpg format at 75 - 100 percent quality.
