Why do we need a pedigree !?

Often there are people who, wanting to have a dog, convince themselves and others that they need a dog not for exhibitions, but simply for the soul (or for protection, or for a child, etc.). A puppy is purchased, and no attention is paid to the presence of pedigree or other nuances.

Suppose they take a puppy without documents, or they are promised that they have documents “somewhere there”, “they didn’t register with my mother” or they are too lazy to do it, etc. But after half a year, newly minted dog breeders begin to wonder how you can show your dog at the exhibition, tie it up, in a word, the owner begins to torment the question - how to “make” the pedigree. Pedigree - a document confirming the origin of the dog. This is essentially a table in which not only the data about the dog itself, but also its parents, grandfathers, great-grandfathers, great-great-grandfathers are indicated. Moreover, knowing the nickname, number of ancestor's pedigree, one can learn through clubs and other databases and its origin, and so on, before the origin of the breed.

Virtually any dog ​​found in the pedigree, you can learn many details: color, evaluation at shows, the presence of training, etc. With purebred breeding, it is necessary not only to correctly select the pair, in accordance with their individual qualities. Heredity is a great thing. It is important to know what the ancestors of the future parents were, what qualities and under what combinations they passed to the offspring.

Owning such information, a breeding dog handler can more likely predict the result of his breeding. The breed will progress to the desired direction. Why do purebred dogs sometimes happen "without pedigree"? The simplest is unscheduled mating. In order for puppies in the club to receive pedigrees, the necessary documents must be submitted to their parents for their parents. For each breed there are certain rules and regulations.

When a dog does not have for any reason an assessment at exhibitions or diplomas on tests, it should not receive permission for planned breeding. If the owner still knits such a dog, puppies are left without documents. How are these puppies worse than planned? Why didn't the dog have a show mark?

Maybe because of the owner's laziness, and maybe the dog has a disqualifying defect that puts it out of breeding. No evaluation - no description. So, when processing documents for puppies from such parents, no one will ever know what their mother or father really was. If a dog has some kind of genetic defect, then this defect may appear later, after several generations. Works to improve the breed go down the drain. Moreover, this is also significant material damage to the breeder, if “defective puppies” are born from normal-looking parents.

If the dog did not have a diploma in training, this can also be due to the owner’s laziness. Or maybe this dog is incapable of the work for which it was bred, and therefore it did not pass the test. For example, a cowardly German shepherd is knitted and puppies will be born from it, and when the children or children of their children are cowardly, this is unlikely to please their owners. There is a possibility that one or both parents of an unplanned puppy were not purebred, but outwardly very similar to some breed. But only externally, and what will come of them, it is impossible to predict. Thus, acquiring a dog without a pedigree, a person definitely buys a "cat in a bag."

But owners of dogs "without pedigree" are difficult to convince that pedigree cannot be "restored." No matter how good the parents and their puppies were, for some reason, they were left without pedigree. And you do not need to indulge yourself with the illusions that “my dog ​​is the most wonderful and will give only the good to the children”. What kind of harm it can bring in the future, in my opinion, is clear from the above explanation.

Of course, there are a great many facts of substituting one origin for another. Even, it would seem, in a prosperous Germany a major scandal flared up quite recently. According to genetic analysis, some producers of the German Shepherd breed were not of the origin that was written in the documents. What to say about Russia and the former republics. Be vigilant and do not make not thoughtful mistakes.
