Some Navigation Tips
You can navigate the Yearbook through the Table of Contents located on the side bar or at the bottom of a page. There is a search feature, which will look for the word(s) you enter in both the registered name, the call name or the AKC number. The search function does not use titles and will only return dogs that earned a title in the specific year.
Any name that is underlined has a link to that Golden's individual page; just click on it and you will go to that page. The individual page includes photos, (click on the arrows at the side of the photo to see additional shots) AKC #, sex, DOB, Breeder, Owner and 3 generation Pedigree.
The side bar contains "Prev" (previous) and "next" buttons to move you up and down within a list, if you would like to go back to the specific list then use the "back to list" feature. If you would like to go to another section, click on the "Contents" button. There is no back button like you have in a browser. If you wander off into pedigrees there is a history-tracking feature on the side bar, if you click on the name it will take you to that dog.
The "Find Offspring" will give you all the offspring for that Golden in our database (please note that this does not include every puppy ever produced but only titled offspring). If would like to return to the Golden you were exploring, go to the top of the page and Click on the Golden's name and that link will take you back.
The Show Titles feature lists the date that titles were earned in a Pop-up window. The Show Placements feature lists that Goldens wins within the year. If you have any questions or comments please use the "Send an email" feature or email the Yearbook staff at Starz@frii.com.
