Any Sealyham you own from around the world may be reported, You may NOT report anyone else's Sealyham's health information.
Data will track health issues and deaths within the Sealyham population over time; aggregated anonymized reports will be given at the ASTC annual dinner, and posted on the ASTC Health page.
No information about specific breeders will be shared publicly. If a health issue occurs frequently within one line/breeding program/area/country, then a confidential report from the ASTC BOD & Health committee will be given to the owner(s) of that line/breeding program/area/national parent club for informational purposes.
