Introduction to The Scoop™

Welcome to the User’s Manual for The Scoop™ by Man’s Best Friend Software. The Scoop™ is designed to work with The Breeder’s Standard™, our dog pedigree and kennel management flagship program.

What The Scoop™ gives you is pure power when it comes to reports. You can easily create powerful reports, using any of the data stored in your licensed copy of The Breeder’s Standard™.

The Scoop™ is designed to work with any of the following programs:

•

The Breeder’s Standard™ 2001

•

The Breeder’s Standard™ 2002

•

The Breeder’s Standard™ 2003

•

The Breeder’s Standard™ 2005

•

The Breeder’s Standard™ 2006

If you have the latest edition of The Breeder’s Standard™ 2006, you will find that the newer data included in these programs, such as DNA information and GreenShade™ will be available, if not, these fields will be blank and the tables will not show up. If you upgrade your program to TBS 2006, this data will be available.

This manual is designed to tell you how to install and operate The Scoop™, and gives you general guidelines on using The Scoop™ to create reports.

Man’s Best Friend Software does not train people in understanding how to set up reports, basic or advanced reporting concepts or Structured Query Language(SQL). You are expected to learn these things yourself, or to be proficient in SQL before you try using it in The Scoop.
