By maintaining several herd books for various species and breeds we allow you, the breeder, to preserve the bloodlines of existing breeds and track the genetics and ownership as these animals are bred, bought, and sold.

Each breeder is issued a herd prefix to be used in the tattooing and registration of the animals and their pedigrees. Breeders may request, to be assigned a specific herd prefix providing that a specific combination is still available. Keep in mind, registrations can be processed only after the breeder’s herd prefix is in place within our registry.

Pedigree registration certificates will be embossed with the Pedigree International seal to verify authenticity. As new species and breed herd books are added to our database we will be happy to work with the individuals ‘launching’ the new herd book to satisfy the necessary data and certificate design. If you have a unique, rare, new, or established breed we would be happy to discuss the possibility of developing a herd book registration program with you.
