15.  OKY BREEDER REPORTS

OKY reports are not available electronically for download to your computer. If not all dogs are available, you will only receive a partial Research Pedigree Report.

An OKY Online Research Pedigree may include the listing of the selected dog’s ancestry for four or five generations. The research pedigrees lists the registration number, registered name, coat color, Stud Book Date, and OFA or EYE numbers where applicable.

A progeny report lists all offspring of the selected sire or dam that have earned an OKY title, such as Champion (Ch) or Companion Dog (CD). This report does not list offspring that have not earned an OKY sanctioned title. If you select the option to include the sire(s)/dam(s), your report will list both parents. We do not offer a report that lists dogs that have not earned a title. Dogs are listed by category Miniature, Teacup or Toy which determines the value. All values are subject to change. 

Information about dogs whelped before 1980 and awards/results records for events held before 1986 may not be available in our online database and reports encompassing records prior to this date may include partial or no information. However, information about all registered dogs and all OKY licensed and member events is maintained in our permanent archives. There are currently no reports available online or elsewhere that contain this information.

16.  OKY COMPETITOR REPORTS

All OKY Competitor Reports are online-only and will not be mailed, emailed or otherwise set to you. For a permanent copy, save the report to your hard drive. We do not issue refunds for printing problems.

OKY® Points and Awards Reports

If the dog has event information prior to 1986 it is most likely not available online. Because the fee is a research fee, if you order an Awards Record for a dog that has a competition history prior to 1986, it may not be included and you will be charged for the research of the report, even if there are no competition results available online for the selected dog.

This report lists only events where your dog earned a requirement towards a title, such as points or a qualifying score.

OKY® Dogs Defeated Report

To be eligible for dogs defeated points, a dog must win Best of Breed/Variety or higher at an OKY licensed or member All-Breed, Limited-Breed or Specialty event in the requested year.

These reports list the number of dogs defeated based on the following selected criteria:

  • Breed – includes dogs defeated in breed/variety competition only
  • Group – includes dogs defeated in Group competition only
  • Overall – includes dogs defeated at all levels of competition; Breed, Group, and BIS

The totals are derived from dogs defeated at all OKY licensed All-Breed and Specialty dog shows held during the specified time period using the highest qualifying award earned at a show which is associated with the particular report. (For an All-Breed show, qualifying awards are Best in Show, Group First through Fourth, and Best of Breed or Variety, if the breed has varieties)

OKY® TopQualityDogs™ Confirmation Report

An OKY TopQualityDogs™ report lists the top dogs rankings in confirmation events. You can choose from the top 25, 50 or 100 dogs. This report is based on the total number of dogs defeated. You can choose from top dogs at the breed, group or all-breed level.

These reports list the top dogs based on the following selected criteria:

  1. Breed/Variety based on dogs defeated in just breed competition.
  2. Breed/Variety based on dogs defeated in all levels of confirmation competition.
  3. Group based on all dogs defeated.
  4. All-breed based on all dogs defeated.

The totals are derived from dogs defeated at all OKY licensed All-Breed and Specialty dog shows held during the specified time period using the highest qualifying award earned at a show. (For an All-Breed show, qualifying awards are Best in Show, Group First through Fourth, and Best of Breed or Variety, if the breed has varieties).

Please note that the OKY TopQualityDog™ Reports using All-Breed totals include dogs defeated at the breed level whether the dog places in the group or not.

The reports “By Breed using All-Breed Totals,” “By Group using All-Breed Totals” and “In All-Breed Competition” will list each dog’s name following by the number of dogs defeated in each level using the following criteria:

  • The Best in Show winner shall get credit with defeating all dogs competing in conformation except itself.
  • The Group First winner shall be credited with defeating all dogs competing in the breeds or varieties comprising the group except itself.
  • The Group Second winner shall be credited with defeating the number of dogs defeated by the Group First winner, less the number of dogs competing in the breed or variety of the Group First winner.
  • The Group Third winner shall be credited with defeating the number of dogs defeated by the Group Second winner, less the number of dogs competing in the breed or variety of the Group Second winner.
  • The Group Fourth winner shall be credited with defeating the number of dogs defeated by the Group Third winner, less the number of dogs competing in the breed or variety of the Group Third winner.
  • The Best of Breed or Variety winner shall be credited with defeating all dogs competing in that breed or variety except itself.

In the report “By Breed using Breed Totals” the number of dogs defeated will be calculated using the following criteria:

  • The Best of Breed or Variety shall be credited with defeating all dogs competing in that breed or variety except itself.
  • The Best of Breed winner at a Specialty show with varieties will not be credited with defeating all dogs competing in the breed.

Your selection of 25, 50 or 100 is a maximum criteria, not a minimum. We cannot guarantee that your report will contain exactly 25, 50 or 100 dogs. If, for example, only 14 dogs of a certain breed are participating in an event assuming they meet the other qualifications for the report selected, there will only be 14 dogs on any TopQualityDog™ report for that breed and event. We cannot issue refunds for reports that do not contain the maximum number, if the data is otherwise correct.

OKY® TopQualityDogs™ Agility Invitational Report

The OKY Agility Invitational report lists the top dogs ranked in Agility events and is based on the Top Quality Pet MACH Dog formula (Double Q’s x 10) + MACH (Master Agility Championship) points that dogs have earned during the qualifying period.

Dogs must have competed and qualified in Regular Master Standard & Jumpers With Weaves classes and the top five (5) ranked dogs of each breed will be included on these reports.

If there are not five (5) dogs ranked from the Regular Master classes, dogs will be ranked based on the Preferred Master Standard & Jumpers With Weaves classes using the Top Quality Pet PACH Dog formula (Double Q’s x 10) + PACH (Preferred Agility Championship) points that dogs have earned during the qualifying period. If the Top 5 of a breed are all from the Regular class, then an additional SIXTH invite will be sent to the Top Preferred Dog during round 1 invites. The reports will automatically sort the dogs alphabetically.

We cannot guarantee that your report will contain twenty-five (25) dogs. If, for example, only 10 dogs of a certain breed are participating in agility events, assuming that they meet the qualifications for the OKY Agility Invitational, there will only be 10 dogs listed on the report for that breed.

OKY® TopQualityDogs™ Agility Report

An OKY TopQualityDog™s report ranks the top dogs in Agility events and is based on the total number of points dogs have earned from either the Regular or Preferred Master Standard & Jumpers With Weaves classes. Dogs must have competed and qualified in Regular or Preferred Master Standard & Jumpers With Weaves classes to be eligible to be included on these reports.

When viewing the TopQualityDogs™ Agility Report, you must first choose either the Regular or Preferred program report to rank dogs in the selected titling program. You may choose from the top 25, 50 or 100 dogs and you may sort the report by the dog’s title, points, or double Q’s. Select reports based on the dog’s breed, group, all OKY-recognized breeds, or the dog’s jump height. Since dogs are allowed to compete in the Regular classes at their required jump height or higher, when choosing the jump height report, the system will look at the last jump height a dog competed in and include the dog only in that jump height to calculate rankings.

OKY suggests that when pulling a current calendar year or previous calendar year report, that you base the sort order of the report on points and double Q’s only, not titles. The reason for this is because a title can be earned at any time during the dog’s lifetime and adding the title sort criteria to these reports will skew the data based on the title first then the points and double Q’s. The lifetime report can be sorted by titles, points or double Q’s.

Your selection of 25, 50 or 100 is a maximum criteria, not a minimum. We cannot guarantee that your report will contain exactly 25, 50 or 100 dogs. If, for example, only 14 dogs of a certain breed are participating in an event assuming they meet the other qualifications for the report selected, there will only be 14 dogs on any TopQualityDog™ report for that breed and event. We cannot issue refunds for reports that do not contain the maximum number, if the data is otherwise correct.

Your selection of 25, 50 or 100 is a maximum criteria, not a minimum. We cannot guarantee that your report will contain exactly 25, 50 or 100 dogs.

Dogs must have qualified and earned points in one of these classes to be eligible to be included on these reports; or must have earned at least one triple Q. Dogs will begin to earn RACH points after they have earned the Rally Excellent (RE) title when scores of 91 or better are earned.

When viewing the OKY TopQualityDog™ – OKY® Rally Report, you may choose from the top 25, 50, or 100 dogs and sort the report by the dog’s Title, Points, Triple Q’s, or the dog’s “Score” which is a calculation of the dog’s (Triple Q’s x 10) + Points. Select reports based on the dog’s Breed, Group, or All OKY Recognized Breeds.

OKY suggests that when pulling a Current Calendar Year or Previous Calendar Year report, that you base the sort order of the report on Points, Triple Q’s or Score only, not titles. The reason for this is because a title can be earned at any time during the dog’s lifetime and adding the title sort criteria to these reports will skew the data based on the title first then the points and triple Q’s. The lifetime report can be sorted by Titles, Points, Triple Q’s or Score.

Dog owner can contact OKY for DNA Test Kit (including a swab that owner uses to collect loose cells from inside the dog’s cheek). For each dog sampled, an OKY DNA Profile is created containing the dog’s registration information, genotype, and a unique DNA Profile number is issued.

38.  ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE YOU AND OKY TO ARBITRATE ANY DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US. This section (the “Arbitration Agreement”) applies to and governs any dispute, controversy, or claim between you and OKY that arises out of or relates to, directly or indirectly: (a) these Terms, including the formation, existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, validity, or enforceability thereof; (b) access to or use of our Service, including receipt of any advertising or marketing communications; (c) any transactions through, by, or using our Service; or (d) any other aspect of your relationship or transactions with OKY, directly or indirectly, as a consumer (“Claim” or collectively, “Claims”). The Arbitration Agreement will apply, without limitation, to all Claims that arose or were asserted before or after your agreement to these Terms. However, prior to arbitration, all applicable OKY bylaws, rules, regulations and procedures must first be followed as set forth in the OKY Charter and Bylaws, rules, regulations, published policies and guidelines.

For any Claim, you agree to first contact us at nicholshillswebdesign@gmail.com and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. In the unlikely event that OKY has not been able to resolve a Claim after sixty (60) days, we each agree to resolve any Claim exclusively through binding arbitration by AAA before a single arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”), under the Expedited Procedures then in effect for AAA (the “Rules”), except as provided herein. In the event of any conflict between the Rules and this Arbitration Agreement, this Arbitration Agreement will control. AAA may be contacted at www.adr.org, where the Rules are also available. The arbitration will be conducted in the U.S. county where you live or California, unless you and OKY agree otherwise. If you are using our Service for commercial purposes, each party will be responsible for paying any AAA filing, administrative and Arbitrator fees in accordance with AAA rules, and the award rendered by the Arbitrator will include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. If you are an individual using our Service for non-commercial purposes: (i) AAA may require you to pay a fee for the initiation of your case, unless you apply for and successfully obtain a fee waiver from AAA; (ii) the award rendered by the Arbitrator may include your costs of arbitration, your reasonable attorney’s fees, and your reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses; and (iii) you may sue in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction without first engaging in arbitration, but this does not absolve you of your commitment to engage in the informal dispute resolution process. Any judgment on the award rendered by the Arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. You and OKY agree that the Arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, will have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The Arbitrator will also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether any provision of these Terms is unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, unconscionability, or estoppel.

Nothing in this Section will be deemed as: preventing OKY from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of Content, data security, or other proprietary rights; or preventing you from asserting Claims in small claims court, if your Claims qualify and so long as the matter remains in such court and advances on only an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis.

If this Arbitration Agreement is found to be void, unenforceable, or unlawful, in whole or in part, the void, unenforceable, or unlawful provision, in whole or in part, will be severed. Severance of the void, unenforceable, or unlawful provision, in whole or in part, will have no impact on the remaining provisions of the Arbitration Agreement, which will remain in force, or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to the Arbitration Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver is found to be void, unenforceable, or unlawful, in whole or in part, because it would prevent you from seeking public injunctive relief, then any dispute regarding the entitlement to such relief (and only that relief) must be severed from arbitration and may be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction. All other Claims for relief subject to arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement will be arbitrated under its terms, and the parties agree that litigation of any Claim regarding the entitlement to public injunctive relief will be stayed pending the outcome of any individual Claims in arbitration.

CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER. WITH RESPECT TO ALL PERSONS AND ENTITIES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY HAVE OBTAINED OR USED OUR SERVICE FOR PERSONAL, COMMERCIAL OR OTHER PURPOSES, ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO CLASS ARBITRATION, AND, UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS. YOU AND OKY AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY TO AN INDIVIDUAL CLAIMANT AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF ON YOUR INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED MAY NOT AFFECT OTHER OKY COLLECTORS. YOU AND OKY FURTHER AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND OKY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO BRING, JOIN, OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER.

39.  ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS.

In addition to other restrictions as set forth in these Terms, you are restricted from using our Service or any Content: (a) for any unlawful purpose; (b) to solicit others to perform or participate in any unlawful acts; (c) to violate any international, federal, provincial or state regulations, rules, laws, or local ordinances; (d) to infringe upon or violate our intellectual property rights or the intellectual property rights of others; (e) to harass, abuse, insult, harm, defame, slander, disparage, intimidate, or discriminate based on gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, race, age, national origin, or disability; (f) to submit false or misleading information; (g) to upload or transmit viruses or any other type of malicious code that will or may be used in any way that will affect the functionality or operation of our Service or linked third-party websites or services; (h) to collect or track the personal information of others; (i) for any obscene or immoral purpose; or (j) to interfere with or circumvent the security features of our Service or linked third-party websites or services.

40.  SEVERABILITY.

In the event that any provision of these Terms is determined to be unlawful, void or unenforceable, such provision will nonetheless be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and the unenforceable portion will be deemed to be severed from these Terms, such determination will not affect the validity and enforceability of any other remaining provisions.

41.  TERMINATION

The obligations and liabilities of the parties incurred prior to the termination date will survive the termination of this agreement for all purposes. These Terms are effective unless and until terminated by either you or us. You may terminate this agreement at any time by notifying us that you no longer wish to use our Service, or when you cease using our Service. If in our sole judgment you fail, or we suspect that you have failed, to comply with any term or provision of these Terms, we also may terminate this agreement at any time without notice and you will remain liable for all amounts due up to and including the date of termination.

42.  CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to update, change or replace any part of these Terms by posting updates and changes to our Service. It is your responsibility to check our Service periodically for changes. Your continued use of or access to our Service following the posting of any changes to these Terms constitutes acceptance of those changes.

43.  NO WAIVER

Our delay or failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

44.  ENTIRE AGREEMENT

These Terms and any policies or operating rules posted by us on our Service or in respect to our Service constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between you and us and govern your use of our Service, superseding any prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications and proposals, whether oral or written, between you and us (including, but not limited to, any prior versions of these Terms). Any ambiguities in the interpretation of these Terms will not be construed against us.

45.  MISCELLANEOUS

OKY may be required by state or federal law to notify you of certain events.  You hereby acknowledge and agree that such notice will be effective upon OKY posting them in the relevant area of the site or delivering them to you via email.  You may update your email address by visiting your Account where you can provide contact information.  If you do not provide OKY with accurate information, OKY will not be responsible for failure to contact you. OKY’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision in these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.  If any part of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, that provision will be removed, and the remainder of the Terms will continue to be valid and enforceable. You authorize OKY to provide information concerning you and your activities to comply with applicable laws or respond to a court order, subpoenas, or other lawful requests, or if OKY thinks doing so would protect your safety or that of another person or protect the security of the services or as otherwise described in the Privacy Notice.

Third-Party Data Collection and Online Advertising

We participate in interest-based advertising and use third party advertising companies to serve you targeted advertisements based on your browsing history. We permit third party online advertising networks, social media companies and other third-party services, to collect information about your use of our online services over time so that they may play or display ads on our Services, on other websites or services you may use, and on other devices you may use. Typically, though not always, the information used for interest-based advertising is collected through tracking technologies, such as cookies, web beacons, embedded scripts, location-identifying technologies, and similar technology, which recognize the device you are using and collect information, including click stream information, browser type, time and date you visited the Sites, AdID, precise geolocation and other information. We may share a common account identifier (such as a hashed email address or user ID) with our third-party advertising partners to help identify you across devices. We and our third-party relationships use this information to make the advertisements you see online more relevant to your interests, as well as to provide advertising-related services such as reporting, attribution, analytics and market research. We may also use services provided by third parties (such as social media platforms) to serve targeted ads to you and others on such platforms. We may do this by providing a hashed version of your email address or other information to the platform provider. Please see Online Ads of the Control Over Your Information section below, to learn how you can opt out of interest-based advertising.

Social Media Widgets and Advertising. Our Services may include social media features, such as the Facebook “Like” button, Pinterest, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube or other widgets. These social media companies may recognize you and collect information about your visit to our Services, and they may set a cookie or employ other tracking technologies. Your interactions with those features are governed by the privacy policies of those companies.


We display targeted advertising to you through social media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube and other social media forums. These companies have interest-based advertising programs that allow us to direct advertisements to users who have shown interest in our services while those users are on the social media platform, or to groups of other users who share similar traits, such as likely commercial interests and demographics. We may share a unique identifier, such as a user ID or hashed email address, with these platform providers or they may collect information from our website visitors through a first-party pixel, in order to direct targeted advertising to you or to a custom audience on the social media platform. These advertisements are governed by the privacy policies of those social media companies that provide them. If you do not want to receive targeted ads on your social networks, you may be able to adjust your advertising preferences through your settings on those networks.

Third Party Relationships. We work with a variety of third-party organizations to provide advertising services. For example, we use Google Analytics to recognize you and link the devices you use when you visit our Services on your browser or mobile device, log in to your account on our Services, or otherwise engage with us. We share a unique identifier, like a user ID or hashed email address, with Google to facilitate the service. Google Analytics allows us to better understand how our users interact with our Services and to tailor our advertisements and content to you. For information on how Google Analytics collects and processes data, as well as how you can control information sent to Google, review Google’s website, “How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps” located at www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. You can learn about Google Analytics’ currently available opt-outs, including the Google Analytics Browser Ad-On here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.


We may also utilize certain forms of display advertising and other advanced features through Google Analytics. These features enable us to use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick advertising cookie) or other third-party cookies together to inform, optimize, and display ads based on your past visits to the Services. You may control your advertising preferences or opt-out of certain Google advertising products by visiting the Google Ads Preferences Manager, currently available at https://google.com/ads/preferences, or by visiting NAI’s online resources at http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices.

  • Online Ads: To learn more about interest-based advertising and how you may be able to opt-out of some of this advertising, you may wish to visit the Digital Advertising Alliance’s (DAA) resources and/or the Network Advertising Initiative’s (NAI) online resources, at www.aboutads.info/choices or http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ and you can opt-out of receiving some interest-based advertisements on mobile apps by visiting http://www.aboutads.info/appchoices.

Please note that when you opt out of receiving interest-based advertisements, this does not mean you will no longer see advertisements from us or on our online services. It means that the online ads that you do see from DAA program participants should not be based on your interests. We are not responsible for the effectiveness of, or compliance with, any third parties opt-out options or programs or the accuracy of their statements regarding their programs. In addition, third parties may still use cookies to collect information about your use of our online services, including for analytics and fraud prevention as well as any other purpose permitted under the DAA’s Principles.

Our Services are not directed to, and we do not intend to, or knowingly, collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13. If an individual is under the age of 13, they should not use our Services or otherwise provide us with any personal information either directly or by other means. If a child under the age of 13 has provided personal information to us, we encourage the child’s parent or guardian to contact us to request that we remove the personal information from our systems. If we learn that any personal information, we collect has been provided by a child under the age of 13, we will promptly delete that personal information.

Links to Third-Party Websites or Services

Our Services may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins and applications. Except where we post, link to or expressly adopt or refer to this Privacy Notice, this Privacy Notice does not apply to, and we are not responsible for, any personal information practices of third-party websites and online services or the practices of other third parties.
