Why isn in the OHR?
The only reason that a dogs health records ever appear in the OHR is that the dogs owner or breeder has entered that information in the database. The absence of any specific dog from the database indicates that the dog’s owner or breeder either has chosen not to make that dog’s health information publicly available or that they are unaware of the registry. It is suggested that those interested in this registry, who notice the absence of certain dogs they would like to see included, may want to let the dogs owner know about the registry and how they can enter the dogs information should they choose to do so.
