Start bringing the records together.
Breeding decisions shape the next generation. We believe working dog breeds should be assessed before they are bred, with attention to health, temperament and the abilities their breed was developed to perform.
Testing cannot answer every question or guarantee an outcome. But it can give breeders evidence to weigh, help puppy buyers ask informed questions, and leave a useful record for those who follow.
Health findings belong in that history alongside titles and achievements.
behind the record
A dog today.
A history for tomorrow.
Useful records outlast a certificate or a season of competition. They help the people who own, breed and care for dogs understand what came before.
Preserving the evidence today gives the next generation something to learn from.
Explore the origins and working histories of the breeds currently in our directory. Discover how their past helps explain the dogs we know today.
close the gaps that matter
One dog.
A fuller history.
A pedigree, a health report and a working certificate each tell part of a dog’s story. When those records remain scattered, important information can become difficult to find or disappear between generations.
The Dog Integrity File brings ancestry, health results, titles and assessments together with their supporting evidence.
If not recorded, it's not protected

If the dog earned it,
we'll record it.
A dog’s achievements may span different sports, assessment schemes and awarding organisations. Its record should reflect that history.
UDCA brings independently verifiable merits together, wherever they were earned.
