  Pedigrees
Create and Print Pedigrees to any number of generations using any font desired. With SeaJay, you can create stylized pedigrees, make them large or small, e-mail them to others, save them as files, and print them to any local or network printer. example

  Arrow Pedigrees
Visualize the relationships between dogs in a pedigree. When ancestors appear several times in a pedigree, it is often difficult to see the ways that a dog is related to that ancestor. The Arrow Pedigree graphically shows all the ways that dogs are related to ancestors. example

  Inbreeding Analysis
Compute the Inbreeding Coefficient for any dog and identify the sources of that inbreeding. While several products compute Inbreeding (Wright’s) Coefficients, only SeaJay lists the sources of that inbreeding and quantifies their significance. SeaJay not only tells you how highly inbred a dog is, but also how and why this came to be. example

  Linebreeding Analysis
Determine the most genetically influential ancestors in a dog’s pedigree. Linebreeding is the art of increasing relationships to desirable ancestors while decreasing the relationships to undesirable ancestors; all the while maintaining inbreeding at an acceptably low level. Estimating the effectiveness of a Linebreeding program by visually examining pedigrees is a crude and often unreliable technique. SeaJay Genetic Analyses quantify the relationships to ancestors in a pedigree using modern, scientific, probabilistic measures. example

  Lines of Descent
Display lines of descent (reverse pedigrees) for any dog. Easily find siblings and descendents of dogs of interest. Find out to whom dogs of interest have been bred and what they produced. example

  Test Breedings
Do breedings "on paper". You can create hypothetical dogs in the Database using, as parents, dogs that you might actually wish to breed together. The offspring’s inbreeding and genetic makeup can then be analyzed just like any other dog’s. This greatly helps in predicting what the results of any breeding might be. By test breeding these hypothetical dogs to either real or other hypothetical dogs, you can prototype a multi-generation breeding program.

  Breed Placement and Show Reports

  Show Entry Forms
Easily create official AKC and CKC Conformation and Obedience Trial, Agility Trial, and Earthdog Test Entry Forms for any dog.  Although some other products allow creation of entry forms, SeaJay takes this a step farther. With a few clicks, SeaJay not only creates the form, it will also do the fee arithmetic and verify the form for completeness and accuracy. You would be notified if, for example, you tried to enter a dog in a wrong sex or age class.

  Open Standards Database
SeaJay comes with an open, fully relational, database that you can customize and extend for your own purposes. The SeaJay database contains 30,000 Cairns, 10,000 Terrier Group Winners, and 112,000 Cairn entries in 19,000 shows! Using Microsoft Access or Microsoft Word97, you can add your own data fields and create custom reports and forms. Enjoy the reliability, integrity, and security of an ANSI standard Database. Other products use proprietary Database formats that restrict the access to and use of your data. With SeaJay, the freedom and possibilities are endless!

  Standard Windows Interface
SeaJay is fully Windows-Compliant. Just point and click in a familiar fashion! Virtually no learning curve required. This, and the design of its Database, also allows SeaJay to operate naturally in a network. When installed in a LAN environment, SeaJay can transparently use network resources such as remote printers and disks, and can also operate as a network application.

  Complete Online Help

  Subscription Service
SeaJay offers an optional, extra cost, subscription service to keep your database current. Members will automatically receive monthly updates containing new Cairns, Judges, and Show Results.
