Best Answer

A Dog's pedigree records the Dog's ancestors back over several generations so that the Dog's parentage can be seen. This makes the Dog purebred and means that breeders can make sure that two dogs aren't related so that they can breed them. It also helps to keep records of whether any of the Dog's ancestors had a certain fault or inherited disease. Only dogs with pedigrees are shown at Crufts (unless they are in Agility or Working Classes).
