How do I add a dog to my profile?

To add a dog, open the Dogs tab and tap the + button at the bottom right. Enter its name, breed and sex, say whether it is a Nordic breed, then add photos of its identification and vaccinations, now or later.

Add a dog

1. Open the Dogs tab (My dogs screen) and tap the + button at the bottom right.
2. Tap the photo to Add photo of your dog (optional).
3. Enter Name of your dog and Breed of your dog.
4. Choose the Gender: Male or Female.
5. Turn on Is it a Nordic breed? if this applies (see below).
6. Tap the arrow at the bottom right to continue.

The screen confirms: Congratulations! Your dog is registered.

Add identification and vaccinations

To take part in a competition, you will need to provide photos of your dog’s identification (chip and date of birth) and vaccinations (CHP, rabies, lepto, kennel cough Bb/Pi). You have three options:

• With the passport: the app asks you for a photo of the page with the chip number, then the page with the date of birth, then the vaccination pages. After each photo, an automatic analysis suggests the values: check them and correct them if needed.
• With a dog health record: a single photo of the dog health sheet, filled in and signed by your vet. The dog’s name on the sheet must be exactly the one you have just entered. The cyno-health sheet model link lets you download the template.
• Enter vaccines later: the dog is saved without vaccinations. You will add them from its record.

This step and how to update vaccinations are explained in The vaccination passport.

Caution

Enter the expiry dates of the vaccinations, not the dates they were given.

The “Nordic” box

A team is classed as Nordic only if all its dogs are Nordic. If the breed you enter looks like a Nordic breed (Siberian husky, Alaskan malamute, Samoyed, Greenland dog) but the box is not ticked, the app asks you when you save: “The breed of your dog seems to be a nordic breed, but the “nordic” box is not checked. Is your dog nordic?”

• Yes, it is nordic ticks the box and saves.
• No, save as is saves without ticking it.

A cross-breed or an Alaskan husky does not trigger this question.

Note

When you register with several dogs and some are Nordic and others are not, a warning tells you that your team will not be classed as Nordic. If you simply forgot, tick the box in that dog’s record.

Edit a dog

1. In the Dogs tab, tap the dog.
2. The Dog tab lets you change Name, Chip, Breed, Birthday, Gender and Nordic?.
3. Tap the save button at the bottom right.

The other tabs of the record are Identification & vaccines and Races (the races the dog is entered in). The bin icon at the bottom left deletes the dog.

Add a dog while registering

In the entry form, the dog list offers Add my dog. Once the dog is saved, you go back to your entry. The Search a dog option lets you choose a dog already registered on someone else’s profile (search by name or chip number). See Register for a race.

Common problems

“A passport is already created on the platform with this electronic chip number”. There must be only one profile per dog. Do not create a duplicate: when you register, choose Search a dog and select the dog that is already registered.

“You cannot delete your dog because it is registered for one or more races.” First edit the entries concerned to change the dog, then delete it.

“Dog too young”. The race has a minimum age (in months) that your dog will not have reached on race day.

“Unable to save”. A required field is empty: name, breed or sex when creating the dog; chip and date of birth as well when editing it.
