Frequently Asked Questions

SBTpedigree is an independent pedigree and breed archive dedicated exclusively to the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. It combines pedigree data, show results, historical material, and archived documentation in one place.

SBTpedigree is for breeders, owners, researchers, judges, and enthusiasts who want reliable, long-term information about the Staffordshire Bull Terrier.

No. SBTpedigree is an independent project. Data is collected from public sources, private archives, and user contributions, and structured to preserve historical accuracy.

SBTpedigree is an unofficial database. All important information should always be verified against the relevant kennel club records or confirmed by the owner or breeder.

The data in this database has been added by users over many years, and no guarantee of accuracy can be given.

L-2-HGA and HC documentation is handled differently. Each document is individually reviewed and verified by admin before results are published. “Clear by parents” status is calculated in the database several times a year, based on the documented status of the parents.

Corrections and updates can normally only be made by registered members. Members may edit and add data themselves, provided the information is not locked due to DNA results, registered offspring, or official show results.

Exceptions are made for serious errors. Owners or breeders may contact the admin directly in cases of major mistakes such as incorrect parents, date of birth, or offspring that do not exist.

All submitted changes are subject to review.

With a Level 2 membership you can upload health reports directly from your dog’s profile page.

L2-HGA and HC documents must be approved by admin before publication.

Many older dogs, imports, and privately kept dogs lack complete documentation.

Verified historical information is continuously being added. Dogs with confirmed data are marked with a blue tick next to their name.

In some cases, a dog is documented as having unknown parents. When this is historically verified, it will be clearly stated as a note on the dog’s page. In other cases, missing parents may simply mean the information has not yet been entered.

All users are encouraged to add relevant and accurate information so that pedigrees can be connected and completed over time.

The blue tick means the dog’s name, date of birth, parents, and in many cases breeder and/or owner have been verified against kennel club records and/or documented pedigree material.

Admin continuously reviews entries added or updated on the site and corrects errors when identified. This may include names, breeders, owners, titles, notes, and similar details.

If your dog is repeatedly corrected, this usually indicates that the submitted information is inaccurate or inconsistent.

Please check the file type and size. Only .jpg, .gif, and .png files are accepted, and the maximum file size is 3MB.

For step-by-step help, see Help > Troubleshooting > Uploading photos.

Some fields are locked when a dog has DNA results, registered offspring, or official show results. This protects pedigree and health data integrity.

For more detail, see Help > Troubleshooting > Editing dogs.

Try partial names or different filters (registration number, year, color). Newly added dogs may take a short time to appear.
