NARR Virtual Tour

Welcome to the NARR's Virtual Tour.  Here you will get an idea of what the NARR looks like and what it can be used for.  Note that the screens are edited to save space; therefore, the entire screen is not viewable.

From the search screen you will enter your search criteria, this can be a rat's name, rattery prefix, type such as 'Russian Blue Dumbo', and even the studbook number.  See the sample of a search screen below.

Below are the results for a search on 'LMR Bilbo'.  I am given the full name of the rat followed by type, sex, registration number, studbook number, date of birth, date of death, cause of death, inbreeding coefficient, breeder/owner, and then any health notes.  If a field is blank, then that information has not yet been provided.  In this example Bilbo Baggins has not yet died or the owner has not reported the death.  Below are the options offered by the database such as a photo of the rat, a pedigree view with or without links to related rats, breeding info, trial pedigree, and a reverse pedigree.  

Clicking on the Breeding Info link, I am provided with additional information.  I'm given full information of the rat's sire and dam.  This is an excellent place to check for health notes on a rat that you are planning to breed.  You are given information not only for the parents but also for siblings and half siblings.  Provided that updates have been made by breeders/owners, this offers endless information.

Breeding Info will also tell you how many times the rat has been bred, to which rat and a listing of those offspring.  Here is listing of one of Bilbo's litters.

Example of Bilbo's pedigree with links:

Example of Bilbo's reverse pedigree.  This lists the offspring of a chosen rat and their offspring.

We hope that you have enjoyed this special look into the NARR database and look forward to having you as a member soon.
