European Bloodlines: Understanding a Pedigree

More than pretty names

A pedigree lists ancestors, but what really matters is what each name represents: show titles, health testing results, and the temperament standard passed down through the bloodline.

Our kennel's bloodline

We work with American-line dams and sires, with registered pedigrees and selection for documented health and balanced temperament.

How to evaluate a pedigree in practice

Look for show titles (they indicate conformity to breed standard), documented health certificates, and, whenever possible, talk to the breeder about the temperament of the direct ancestors.
