    The English Cocker Spaniel Titleholders 2002 CD-ROM, a Windows program (95 or higher), gives you access to individual information about any English Cocker AKC U.S. Titleholder of Record in the field of Conformation, Bench, and/or one of the Performance areas. Also included are the untitled dogs/bitches who have produced get who meet this criteria. As a courtesy to club members who are using the software for pedigree research we now include their parents whenever possible.

    The CD contains the following basics:

1. Four files which include all English Cocker Titleholders published through the February 2002 in the following formats: Microsoft ACCESS (Versions 97 and 2000), Microsoft Excel, a file that will work with the Professional Breedmate Pedigree Program and a demo copy of the Breedmate software, and a tab-delimited text file.
2. A photo gallery which is comprised of photos that have been extracted from one of the ECSCA publications or provided by individual owners. Most of the breed's ECMs and many BIS winners are included. The color photos from Volume I and III are also there and, last, there are some fun EC photos.
3. A table of all Best In Show winners, dates, judges, etc.
4. A Power Point presentation on the history of the breed that was developed by the Education Committee.
5. Articles on the English Cocker that have appeared in ECSCA publications over the years.

Changes for 2002 in case anyone is considering an upgrade from the 2000 version......

* Titleholders are updated through February of 2002.
* As mentioned above, the sires and dams of untitled dogs have been provided when available to improve pedigree research. For those folks using Breedmate.....each sire and dam has their own individual record and will print out in a pedigree as appropriate.
* All OFA information downloaded from the OFA website from 4Q 1996 through 4Q 2001 is on the ACCESS version with as much sire/dam information as we could find. All OFA information for dogs tracked in the club database is also provided. The information appears in a separate OFA table in the ACCESS version as well as on the dog's individual record in all versions of the data.
* All PRCD VOR (Voluntary Open Registry) information is included in the dog's individual record in all versions of the data and in a separate listing in the ACCESS version through 1Q 2002.
* A "Planned Parenthood" section has been added to the ACCESS version which allows you to test breedings quickly without saving additional records.
* Building pedigrees for all dogs in the ACCESS version is provided at the push of a button and is much faster than in previous version.

PLEASE REMEMBER ALWAYS....this was done for information and entertainment and all proceeds are to be used to further health research for the breed. We do not pretend this is everything for everyone, but we are hoping that it will afford you many hours of pleasure.
