An animal's pedigree grows from the parent links in its record. Open the animal and choose the pedigree or lineage view to inspect the known family tree.
Three-generation pedigree
Build the source records first
A pedigree is generated from the animal's linked sire, dam, and recorded ancestors. Open the animal's lineage view and verify each parent ID. Grandparents appear when they have been linked on the parent records. An unknown ancestor remains unknown; adding a placeholder solely to fill the chart can mislead the reader. If another keeper owns a parent, wait for their link request approval before describing that relationship as confirmed.
Inspect and share the view
Open the pedigree view from the animal profile to inspect its family tree. Where your account offers it, use Print Pedigree to open the browser print dialog or save a PDF. The public profile can show a live pedigree for an animal marked Public. Copy its public link or use a QR code only after previewing what an outside viewer sees. Private and Lineage Only animals do not have the same standalone public profile. A printed copy is a snapshot, while a shared public page reflects later record changes.
Resolve missing information
If a branch is absent, open that parent's own profile and check its lineage. If a cross-keeper parent has not appeared, look for a pending or rejected request. Check names, IDs, and visibility before publishing. For a sale or transfer, include enough context for the recipient to identify the animal but avoid claiming that unverified lineage is confirmed. After editing a parent or status, preview the tree again before sending a fresh link or printout.
