PEDIGREE GENERATION
What is a Pedigree dog?
The general understanding of the term ‘pedigree dog’ is that this is a purebred dog (that has parents which are both of the same breed) recognised and registered by a Kennel Club e.g. COBA or with another Kennel Club recognised by us. so you will have a document(pedigree certificate) that shows your dog’s ancestry going back several generations.
Pedigree Generation is achieved using the COBA Studbook, a registry database where all ancestry and technical records of dogs in Nigeria are kept. Other Records such as Birth Notification, Physical Conformation, Health tests, Temperament tests, Championship titles etc. are recorded throughout the lifetime of the dog
