What reports come with my custom pedigree database?

Created: Sep 12, 2018 Updated: Apr 21, 2026 Custom Pedigree Software

Your custom pedigree database comes with our full suite of reports, including every pedigree, family-tree, and breeding-analysis tool we offer. As an administrator you can enable or disable individual reports per database from the Reports tab in your database settings, so your users only see what's relevant to your registry.

Pedigree reports

  • Pedigree: Up to 9-generation pedigrees with a highlight filter for calling out inbred or duplicated ancestors. The available highlight options are Inbreds (the default), All Duplicates, Cross Duplicates, and No Highlight. You can also toggle whether the subject animal itself appears on the pedigree.
  • Certificate: Printable, branded pedigree and registration certificates for any animal. We ship a default set of templates and you can save your own custom certificate templates (logos, fonts, layout) from your database settings.
  • Photos Pedigree: A 3-to-5-generation pedigree laid out with each ancestor's photo instead of text, perfect for sharing visual family trees.
  • Embed: A slim, embeddable version of any animal's pedigree that you can drop into another site with a single snippet.

Family reports

  • Offspring: A complete list of every animal's direct offspring. Filter by sex (males or females only) and by color, and show up to 250 offspring per page.
  • Siblings: Every sibling of the subject animal, filtered by sibling type (Half, 3/4, or Full), by the sibling's sex, and with an optional toggle to include "same sire" matches. Results paginate 25 to 100 per page.
  • Female Family (sometimes called the dam line or bottom line): Lists every descendant along the female line. Configure how many generations deep to search (1 to 12) and how many dam generations to expand (1 to 4), with up to 500 records returned.
  • Tail Family: Traces an animal's tail-male or tail-female line, showing all descendants along a single-sex chain.
  • Common Ancestors: Given two animals, find every ancestor that appears in both of their pedigrees. Useful for spotting shared influences before you plan a mating.
  • Common Descendants: The inverse of Common Ancestors. Given two animals, find every descendant that has both of them in its pedigree.

Breeding analysis

  • Linebreeding: Calculate the coefficient of inbreeding for up to 13 generations of a pedigree, with a full breakdown of where each inbred ancestor appears, how many times, and their percentage of influence. Filter the report by Only Inbreds, Only Cross Dupes, Only Males, Only Females, or All Animals, and narrow further by classic inbreeding influence thresholds (2x2, 2x3, 3x3, all the way out to 7x7). You can read more about the linebreeding report in our knowledgebase.
  • Hypothetical Mating (Hypomating): See what an animal's records would look like if two animals were bred, without creating any records in your database. Pick a sire and a dam and you get a virtual foal with its own pedigree, linebreeding report, siblings, photos pedigree, female family, tail family, equivalents, and certificate. Nothing is saved, so you can experiment freely without polluting your database with test records.
  • Equivalents: Calculate an animal's equivalent generations, a more nuanced measure of how complete its pedigree actually is compared to a raw generation count.

Record management

  • Directory: Browse every animal in your database with search, filters, and sorting across any field you've configured on your add/edit form.
  • Changelog: A full audit trail of who changed what on each animal's record, so administrators can review edits and, when necessary, revert them.

All reports respect your database's privacy settings and field-level permissions, so anything you've marked as admin-only (for example, an "internal notes" text field) stays hidden from non-admin users regardless of the report they're looking at.
