ISDS Border Collie Database

PEDIGREE SERVICE

A six (some say its 7) generation pedigree can be compiled for every ISDS registered dog as long as it, or its parents, have been published in one of the ISDS stud books up to and including the 2007 volume, that is ISDS numbers 1 to 298513. An example is given here for Moel Bracken 221878 (39 kbyte, to view or print pedigrees, download the Free Acrobat Reader at www.adobe.com or the much smaller Sumatra pdf reader).

Note that this is not an official ISDS pedigree, which Kennel Clubs often require. The ISDS pedigrees are only 4 generations and list only the dogs and their owners and cost more.

The pedigrees show as much information as possible on a single A4 sheet by giving different levels of detail for the different generations. The first generation contains the highest detail. All generations indicate:

• Name of the dog and owner.
• If the dog is a key dog (see key dogs).
• If it has qualified on National, International, Continental or World Trial level (as far as this information is available in the database).
• If it suffers from or has children with CEA or PRA (as far as published in the ISDS studbooks and newsletters).
• The number of children of each dog in the pedigree.

• More details of the trial results (highest result in each year).
• Coat type and colour.
• Date of birth.
• Coefficient of inbreeding.
• Main breeding region if applicable (>50% Scottish, Welsh, English, Irish or Other).

Apart from the pedigree, the original stud book text, breeder, owner(s), siblings, and children (last 7 litters at most) are listed for the dog itself.

A pedigree can also be compiled on the basis of registered parents, which can be regarded as a test mating. Such a 'mating' pedigree will also show the coefficient of inbreeding for the offspring.

The pedigrees show photos of the dogs if available. If you would like your own photo to be included, send it to me.

The information on these pedigrees is ISDS copyright © and you are not allowed to distribute them also NOT put them on the internet. However, I do include a second file (see an example here for Moel Bracken 221878). This version has no dates of birth or registration numbers (which are ISDS copyright). It can be distributed freely.

Additional services that I can provide include:

• Finding details of dogs in case you only have partial information available. For instance if you do not know the (exact) ISDS number but only approximate or the name of the dog and for instance the (approximate) name of the breeder, owner, date of birth, coat type or colour, etcetera. Normally at no extra charge if it helps ordering a pedigree.
• Finding dogs with a high or low percentage 'blood' of any dog.
• Calculation of inbreeding coefficients for matings that you are considering.
• Finding descendants (in any generation) of a dog.
