Understanding stud-books

What is the role of a stud-book?

A stud-book preserves pedigree information relating to registered animals. Depending on its rules, it may verify identity, ancestry and the admission requirements for breeding animals.

The registry may be managed by a breed association, federation, breeding organisation or national institution.

The links in this directory provide access to registry rules, registration procedures and information published by the relevant organisations.
