 |
|
Hello,
I have tried using this feature. Doesn't seen to be working at all.
Does anyone know about this?
Shame when you pay for a service and things don't work correctly.
Hard to reccomend for others.
Any information on the common ancesters would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks! |

It works.
The idea is you put in two horses -- say Beduino and Dash For Cash -- then tell it how many generations to search. If you set it to 2 generations, it will list all the horses with Dash for Cash and Beduino in the first two generations. The more generations you ask it to search, the longer it will take to finish the search.
If you aren't getting any results, it's either because there are no horses with the two requested horses in their pedigree (IOW, there are no horses with Wolf Power and Stutz Blackhawk in their pedigree) or there are none that have been entered into the database.

Hi,
Sorry, doesn't work unless fixed very recently,
I have tried using my own horses, whom I know for a fact are related or have related ancesters, it doesn't pull anything up at all. So I know it isn't working when I have their papers sitting on my lap. LOL!
I have also entered all of mine in as well and when look up another horse whom I know is in the database because all of its info is in there doing a regular seach, it still gives no related horses.
I will keep trying and hopefully it will work someday but it gets aggravating when you pay for a service and it doesn't work.
I wonuldn't be so aggravated if it was in the "FRee" area but its not.
I really wouldn't reccomend the service to others either because it does not work.
Thanks for the insight though. |

It's taking up to 3 weeks for newly entered horses to show in any kind of search. If you entered a horse right now then ran progeny search on its sire or dam, the horse you just entered won't show up.

It IS a part of the free membership and it IS working just fine. It has to be something on your end. Either your browser isn't working or you're not entering something correctly.
Again, if you aren't getting results it's either because there are no horses with the two horses you're looking for in their pedigrees within the generations you're looking for OR none have been entered into the database and been processed yet.
What two horses are you trying to look up and how many generations are you setting the search field at?
If you are trying to tell it to find a horse with First Down Dash and Poco Bueno in its pedigree within the first 2 generations, you aren't going to find any even if there are horses who carry both sires because Poco Bueno is probably no closer than 4th gen on any horse anymore.
