how to read a pedigree

how to read a pedigree i put a pic of the ped on here

ok i just got paris's 7 generation pedigree back from adba. is there a site i can go to that will help me understand how to read this thing and also a sight i can go to to research her ancestors.

 

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.

 

thanks guys

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.

 

here is what i am talking about this is just the top part of the pedigree. the fathers part

 

crap i meant to put wilkinsons rascal flatts is my puppys father. i wrote it on the paper as "this is my dogs" i meant to put this is my dogs father. i no ya'll think i am retarded. i have never had a 7 gen ped before just the normal 2 or 3 the 7 gen is confusing.

 

-rox(sire) and leanne(dame) are the parents of rascal flatts, jake man(sire) and white cloud(dame) are the parents of rox, badger(sire) and gypsy(dame) are the parents of white cloud, the cherry point honky(sire) and private tootsie(dame) are the parents of gypsy, cherry point willie(s) and cherry point frankie(d) are the parents of private tootsie.
- hoss(s) and darcy(d) are the parents of rough boy.
-rough boy and spooky are the parents of lucky, ninja and chinaman lady are the parents of spooky, garner's chinaman and beauty t are the parents of ninja.
