A pedigree certificate is a document that shows an animal's lineage across multiple generations. Breeders provide pedigree certificates when selling animals, transferring registration, documenting breeding records, or giving buyers evidence of their new animal's ancestry. This tool generates a printable, professional-looking pedigree certificate as a downloadable PDF. No account required. No watermark paywall.
Fill in the subject animal's details below, then type directly into the ancestor nodes in the pedigree tree. Leave any slot blank and it will appear as a placeholder on the certificate. When you're ready, download the PDF.
Type directly into the nodes. Leave any slot blank to skip it.
Most breeders provide a pedigree certificate with every animal they sell. It is part of the documentation package alongside health test results, vaccination records, and care instructions. For buyers new to the breed or species, the pedigree certificate is often the document they refer back to when talking about their animal's lineage at shows or when planning future pairings.
Pedigree certificates are also used for registration transfers, insurance documentation, and breed club records. If you are selling breeding stock, the buyer will almost certainly want a pedigree certificate to understand what they are working with genetically.
This tool generates a formatted document from the data you enter. It does not verify that the information is accurate. It is not a registry. The certificate is only as accurate as the pedigree information you have on hand. If you need a verified pedigree that is backed by a registry database, that requires registration with an organization like AKC, ARBA, or a breed-specific registry.
For breeding programs that need database-backed pedigree management with verified lineage, Breed Ledger is building exactly that. The registry and pedigree platform built through BBD handles the full infrastructure for breed clubs and registries that need to issue verified pedigrees.
If you want to run a COI calculation before printing this certificate, the free COI calculator takes the same ancestor data and computes Wright's Coefficient of Inbreeding.
Crested gecko breeders can also use the free crested gecko morph calculator to predict trait outcomes — Lilly White percentages, Axanthic ratios, Phantom, Dalmatian, and more — for a planned pairing before documenting it on the certificate.
For breeders building a full program management system, the breed club software includes pedigree certificate generation as part of the full registry infrastructure.
