[dixieandbacon]

the dog above your dogs name is the sire(male/father)...the dog below your dogs name is the dam(female/mother)..and so on..the Males are always on top and Females are on the bottom.

i got that part. but i have the lines all the way over to her mother and father but what is all the other ones below the line. it's a 7 gen ped. i'm confused maybe i can run a copy of it and you can explain it to me on my ped.

basically its.......

................................................-Fathers father
...........................-your dogs dad
...............................................-Fathers mother
your dog
................................................-Mothers father
..........................-your dogs mom
...............................................-Mothers Mother


So on and so forth.....as stated males always on top femals always on bottom.

if you start from the right of the form go start over to the sire and dam of my pup there are dogs on the same line above and below the sire and dam. what is that brothers and sisters. i will try to take a pic to show you what i am talkin about.if you start to the right and go to the left that is yours parents and grand parents and great grans and so on. so what are the dogs above and below them. i no i am sounding like a complete dumbass sorry i can't fiqure it out.
