A Background
|
As a dog breeder, you have
needs. AKC and other kennel clubs, as well as
USDA, impose strict record-keeping requirements on you.
You may also show your dogs in one or more
disciplines. Then comes genetic research, and, of
course, the need to produce pedigrees -- not just nice
pedigrees but fantastic pedigrees.
Nothing less will do.
Word processors,
spreadsheets and even database programs fall short of
your needs, and involve expense in creating the formats
and data layouts. What you need is the best
professional program, at a reasonable price, to
accomplish these tasks. Then you can concentrate
not on your program but your dogs.
Your answer is The
Breeder's Standard® 2008, the Ultimate Software for
Dog Breeders. Our product first arrived on the
scene in 1991. We are the first kennel product
ever designed to run natively
in Microsoft Windows. This is our
eighth major
version, and with each new release we get just that much
better than the others.
Our program is
professionally written and maintained, using the latest
and most stable technologies. We employ disciplined
design, programming, testing and
database technologies, which make our programs
easier to use. We are dog hobbyists but
computer professionals.
The result is this
outstanding program, The Breeder's Standard® 2008.
Not just a better design, the best
design. Not just a better look, the
best look. Not just a better way
to do things, the best way to do
things.
It is so easy to use, you will never
want to even look at any other
program. |

Easy to Use
Click

The Breeder's
Standard? 2008 sets the standard in ease of use.
Easy, friendly windows await you from
start to finish. Searching for a dog? Start to type its
name, and the list moves for you as you type each
letter.
Our windows are
consistent. Everything is labeled clearly. If you need
to pick a name from a database, each letter you type
looks up names for you. Every date field has a drop-down
calendar. Every number and money field has a drop-down
calculator. Fields have pop-up hints telling you what
the field is for.
The beauty of The
Breeder's Standard® 2008 is in the details. Instead
of pelting you with error messages like "This field has
the wrong value," we make it easy by listing only right
values for you to choose from. Instead of hiding
critical functions beneath layers of old-fashioned
menus, we provide a speed bar on the main window.
Critical functions are a single click.
Need Help? Every
window has on-screen help when you press the F1
key
. Our printed, illustrated
owner's manual covers all functions. There is a pop-up
Tip of the Day, and there is a "How do I" section. No
dog breeder's program is even remotely as easy or
friendly as The Breeder's Standard® 2008. |
Beyond help --
It's Puggsley?!!
Click to see this
Full-size |
The
Breeder's Standard® 2008 is made with real
people in mind. No more wondering how to
do things. Every window in the program has a
button for Puggsley?, our Real
English
Help
system! Have a question? Puggsley? says:
"Ask me!". Type in a regular sentence, such as
"how do I print a pedigree", and Puggsley? will
analyze the sentence and produce a list of help topics
than answer your question -- easily and
instantly.
Our updated
and cross-referenced help text will make your use of
TBS 2008 a true breeze!
We used to be simply the easiest
software to use. Now we are an order
of magnitude
above the rest! |

DataMaster? gives You awesome data-mastering
Power!
(click to see full size) |
The Breeder's Standard®
2008 has DataMaster, redefining the
power of dog breeder's software. Now,
you can fix naming errors such as improper use of the
possessive in names, bad capitalization rules, goofy
color abbreviations and the like in
seconds, not days!
What DataMaster does will
knock your socks off. Some of the
power:
- Change names and/or colors
to ALL UPPER CASE, all lowercase or use our
proprietary "Smart Capitalization" feature to
intelligently capitalize each word in a name. It
handles contractions, as well as O' names and the
like!
- Change the beginning or
any part of the registered name to anything you wish,
for every matching dog in the database.
- Do the same for Color and
Call Name!
Here is the power you need to
make your database the best it can be! |
Descendant List
ANALYZER
(click to
see full size) |
The Breeder's Standard® 2008 doesn't just give you a
four-generation descendants list. Instead, we give
you a Seven Generation Descendants
Analyzer. Newly revamped for 2008 with
seven generations of power, and added speed, our new
Descendants List Analyzer shows you descendants through
any number
of
generations, seven on a screen, and can zoom in to see
the descendants of any dog in
the list. All descendants are listed complete
with date of birth, without breaking a sweat or trudging
through paperwork. Collapse away a couple of
generations with a single click. Bring them back
just as quickly.
Descendants list analyzer
color codes each descendant by generation, making it
super-simple to figure out things when you are scrolled
well down a list.
If you want to report on the
descendants, no problem. The Descendant list
analyzer will give you a detailed report! The best
way to view down a list of descendants is here,
now!

PedFast IV:
Double the
Power

screen. |
In 1991, we were a mile
ahead of the competition with the original PedFast?.
Four generations of ancestry, entered in a single
window. Others tried to imitate us but could not do
so. Now, for 2008 we've doubled the power
of PedFast II with our new PedFast
IV
ancestry entry engine.
As you enter each
ancestor, it appears automatically, complete with
ancestors, if it is already on the database. New dogs
are entered instantly. Assign titles to any ancestor,
using our powerful titles engine, with a click of the
right mouse button.
Also, you can
now zoom back into pedigrees with one click. If you have
a pedigree to enter, you can do it in
1/60th the time of the our competition. You
can also assign titles and enter quick information on
each dog while staying in PedFast with
our new Quick-Info feature. |

Genetics without Comparison

The Breeder's
Standard? 2008 delivers top-quality genetic
information.
Among Windows dog programs,
there is only one program certified to
accurately calculate the
Wright Coefficient of Inbreeding. It is The
Breeder's Standard?! All TBS programs since 1996
accurately calculate the
IC to ten generations with an easy button click.
Unlike other companies that try to implement "short-cut"
IC calculations that sacrifice accuracy for speed,
only our products are certified* to accurately
calculate the coefficient
.
Crystal
Ball? is our proprietary genetics engine.
Print hypothetical and litter pedigrees. View and print
reports showing ancestor genetics. Use our
first-and-best trait analysis engine to view traits in a
pedigree and gain a whole new perspective on planned
breedings.
We offer genetics
without peer.

owner needs to keep detailed records of hundreds, if not
thousands of people. Customers, prospects, judges,
Veterinarians, handlers and others need to be
accessible. The Breeder's Standard® 2008 takes
contact management for the breeder to the next level.
You can store an
incredible five phone numbers per contact. You
can even dial the telephone
automatically with a single click. There is a
large comments space. You can define any number of
contact types for your use.
Printing? You can
print mailing labels, detailed lists and even Rolodex®
cards. Reference? A single button click will show dogs
that the contact owns, bred, sold or leased to you, or

our competition dreams of, yet you can own it
now. |
Batch Operations
Click for a
full size view
|
Ever have to give a shot to
all of the animals in the kennel? How about a
Veterinary procedure? You can now select any or
all of the animals in your kennel, and with only one
entry, add a shot, Medical visit (including
reminder information) or a financial transaction to
every selected animal in the
kennel. It's fast, super-easy, and can reduce your
recordkeeping by an amazing percentage.
Of course, TBS 2006
knows enough not to clutter the batch list with animals
used only for pedigrees. You can even select which
status animals appear in the list, quickly and very
easily. |
| Puppy Information |
TBS 2006 supports
Veterinary, Medical, Transaction, Wright Coefficient,
and all other dog record types on litter puppies, and
keeps a dog record on each litter puppy automatically,
linked forever. If you sell or keep a puppy, it's
a simple manner of flipping a status flag in one
place. All AKC-required reports are correctly
maintained.
On the litter reports, you
will find reports for Veterinary expenses, transaction
history, shots and traits. This will summarize the
puppies for the whole litter. For the individual
puppy, you simply report on that puppy.
Combine this with the new
batch operations window, and you will see just how
excellent TBS 2006 is for tracking your breeding
program! |

| DOGWORLD Gives us the
Thumbs-up! |
On page 65 of the January
1998 DOGWORLD magazine, veteran kennel software
reviewer John Cargill reviews The Breeder's
Standard?.
Using remarks like
"Long a standard against which other programs
are compared...", Mr. Cargill writes about
Crystal Ball, our exclusive puppy tracking, and MegaPed.
Cargill correctly advises that by purchasing other,
cheaper programs, you "definitely will have to give up
on the elegant screens, the ease of use, and if you are
not careful, many of the other features that are a part
of The Breeder's Standard."
Truer words were never
spoken. Man's Best Friend Software thanks
DOGWORLD magazine for its accurate and concise
review of what we know to be the head-and-shoulders
leader among kennel software products! |
| Our Customers Speak
Out! |
Anyone can blow his own
horn, especially about his own product. The best
advertising, however, is word of mouth. So, let's share
some word of mouth from others.
The Comments:
- "Just love the TBS -- I
have refered 4 of my breeder friends and 3 are now
users. Keep up the great work." Judy
Zahas
- "I have just registered my
first trial copy and really enjoy your program. I have
tried other programs but none have the ease or the
ability yours does. Keep up the good work." Roz
Bacon
- "We
are very pleased with your TBS software and recommend
it to all of our friends in the dog world. We have
tried several other software packages over the years
including Champions in Windows but have found TBS to
be the best for our needs." Jim & Leanne
Dayvolt
- "Just thought I'd drop a
line and tell you how great I think your program is. I
really enjoy it, and it works beautifully."
Laurell Hand
- "I have been using TBS
since day one (I think I was one of John's first
customers)...It works great and is the best program
out there. If you have any problems, John will get
back to you ASAP. Don't worry about support - you will
get personal treatment - right from the developer!!"
Joan C. Murphy
- "Overall, I recommend The
Breeder's Standard highly! It's very user friendly.
It's suitable for the small breeder such as myself, as
well as the large kennel or handler who may need to
maintain records of many outside clients and dogs."
Jill A. Swedlow in a review in the Great Dane
Reporter
- "I truly believe that TBS
is one of the best if not THE best product of its type
on the market. It is thorough, easy to use, and does
everything I need... I have never once thought 'Gee, I
wish this software would do...' I know you will like
it if you would try." Elizabeth Simison
- "I have used just about
every Ped. program there is and have finally settled
on The Breeder's Standard (for Windows) Does
everything you want and more. The new version 3 is
great...TBS even prints out great show entries and any
and all types of reports required by the AKC or for
your own use. "What if?" pedigrees. Inbreeding
reports, trait analysis, and all transactions and
recored of all dogs/litters. And very easy - user
friendly." Shirley J. Batson
- " You know that you must
be doing something right when the competition has to
resort to dirty tactics to try and discredit you. I
have talked with many people in my small area in
Georgia who are all delighted with Breeders Standard."
Jim Dedonis
- "I have the software, I
bought it at a dog show from Pat Boyle. I really love
it. ...I just had to let you know that I am pleased
and to let you know that Pat was really helpful when
deciding to purchase the software. I can't wait for
the next version to come out." Sandra J. Cuban
- "Hi... I have been using
your fine product since November, 1995. Although I had
been looking for a pedigree program for years...
trying out many demo's and putting up with an archaic
pedigree program since 1985... I didn't take the
plunge and buy a program until I discovered yours.
Just wanted to let you know that I wasn't
disappointed! Gina Ostroman
- "After having tried 3
other pedigree/breeding programs, the Breeders
Standard is the only one that has never had a glitch.
Have been using it for over two years now and it is
still up and running. The Crystal Ball is excellent!
Most of the programs will only print a 3-4-5
generation pedigree. Sometimes I like to go in and do
a really big one and TBS has the capabilities to do
it. It also was the only one that would put the color
and OFA # on the pedigree along with all titles at
both sides of the name at the time I purchased it."
