electronic data storage is more efficient because information can easily be shared, and data analysed. A database should help organisations maximize improvement in providing quality dogs and quality service and support. Most often, organisations use three different databases; one for dogs, another for client information and thirdly for fund-raising. There are many commercial databases available. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Organisations of any size can subscribe to use the International Working Dog Registry (IWDR), which is a web-based database that more than meets the IGDF requirements for data storage of dog, volunteer and client data.
