What do you and don't you know about pedigrees?

Yes Judge, I agree with you on it just being a dog after all. Also, the higher bred the animal is the more you expect from their pups. I agree to that also.
But The discussion is generalized on how important it is to understand registration. Not for people to say I don't know their bloodline, they are just registered. Or someone to holler around that the papers don't make the dog.
The paper doesn't no, but knowing the bloodline made the dog.
As far as looking at a dog's bloodline and expecting the offspring to be what their made of... I'd much rather have that to look forward to. Everyone has let downs in breeding dogs.
My husband bred 2 Catahoulas together once. Entire litter was crap. Out of 2 A-Team dogs.
Some how... My husband's friend talked him into breeding the same dogs back together... The second litter, all made good to Great dogs. Weird how that happens.
But! That second litter also produced good dogs that are still present in his dog's pedigrees to this day.
