Origin & history

A dog without a pedigree is an animal whose lineage is not registered with a stud book, whether it is a crossbreed or resembles a breed. This says nothing about its qualities: many of these dogs are excellent companions, balanced and endearing. Often born from unplanned litters or of varied origins, they show a great variety of appearances and characters. Reputed to be hardy, they adapt to many lifestyles. Many are offered for adoption in shelters, where they wait for a family ready to give them attention, training and affection every day.

Frequently asked questions

Can a dog without a pedigree be registered later?

Without registered lineage, it cannot obtain a pedigree, but this has no bearing on its qualities as a companion.

Without a pedigree, can you know its needs?

You observe its behavior and, if possible, its parents to estimate its needs for activity, space and training.

Does it cost less to care for?

Feeding and care costs depend mainly on its size and health, not on the presence of a pedigree.
