Have you just acquired or adopted a purebred dog and would you like to know if it has a pedigree? Although the breed can easily be confused with the pedigree, in reality, for an animal to have its genealogy certified, you must follow a bureaucratic process to get it.
Therefore, if you have doubts about it, then we are going to tell you how to know if my dog has a pedigree.
What is the pedigree?
The pedigree It is a document in which the genealogical relationships of the animal are accredited and in which the data of his ancestry, name and race of the parents, his date of birth, the physical characteristics, the illnesses that his family has had, etc. are detailed. Each of these documents has a specific registration number for each animal, so that you can consult it with the owners of the kennel where your dog was born or where its parents were born.
How do I know if my dog has a pedigree?
The easiest and fastest way to know if your dog can choose or not to obtain the pedigree is to consult with the veterinarian. If it finally turns out that your furry is a breed you must go to the Royal Canine Society of your country. In the case of Spain, the animal must carry the microchip and must be at least 12 months old to be able to process it.
If you have adopted a dog older than 12 months and they have told you that it has a pedigree, they will have to give you the corresponding document. When that does not happen, you should take it to a Royal Society dog show, where experts review all the characteristics of the animal to determine if it is purebred, in which case it is registered in the Canine Breed Registry.
For more information, we recommend you consult with the website of the Royal Canine Society.
