Puppy alumni

Browse the alumni

The numbers at the top count every alumni dog, then the dogs for each outcome. Paw prints shows the newest memories members left on the alumni profiles.

Most recent first and Earliest first sort by when the dog left the club, or by when it came if that is all the club knows.

2. Type a dog’s name, a raiser’s name or where the dog is now in Search.
3. Pick an Outcome to see only the dogs with that outcome.
4. Pick an order in Sort by: Name, Most recent first or Earliest first.
5. Press a dog’s card to open its profile.

Add an alumni dog

Raiser and Co-raiser are typed names, so they can be people who are no longer in the club. Only the Dog’s name and the Raiser are required.

Change an alumni dog’s facts

A paw print is a short memory of the dog, up to 300 characters. Any member can leave one. The newest paw prints also appear at the top of the alumni list.

You can remove your own paw prints. The person who added the dog, and Board members who manage the alumni, can remove any paw print on it.

1. Open the alumni dog’s profile.
2. Write your memory under Paw prints.
3. Press Leave a paw print.
4. Press Remove beside your own paw print to take it back.

Move a dog back to current puppies

A dog added from its puppy profile with Add to alumni can go back to the current puppies. Its archived puppy profile is restored with its shifts, sitting logs and sitting notes, and its alumni page is hidden.

The hidden alumni page keeps its story, photos and paw prints. Back to alumni on the puppy’s profile puts it on the alumni list again.

Back to current puppies shows only while the puppy profile is archived. A dog typed into the alumni by hand has no puppy profile to go back to.

1. Open the alumni dog’s profile and go to the bottom.
2. Press Back to current puppies.
3. Pick the Raiser, and the Co-raiser if there is one. Only members who do not raise a dog yet are listed.
4. Press Move back. The puppy’s profile opens.

Delete an alumni dog

The dog’s story, photos and paw prints are deleted with it. It cannot be undone.

1. Open the dog’s profile and go to the bottom.
2. Press the button to delete the dog from the alumni.
3. Press Delete to confirm.
