Research Pedigree:

An AKC Online Research Pedigree is a listing of the selected dog's ancestry for four or five generations. The research pedigrees lists the registration number, registered name, coat color, Stud Book Date, and OFA or EYE numbers where applicable.

If not all dogs are available you will only receive a partial Research Pedigree Report.

Information about dogs whelped before 1980 and awards/results records for events held before 1986 may not be available in our online database and reports encompassing records prior to this date may include partial or no information. However, information about all AKC-registered dogs and all AKC-licensed and member events is maintained in our permanent archives. There are currently no reports available online or elsewhere that contain this information.
