studbooks
Breeding lineage logs
A studbook is an official register recording the pedigree and breeding history of animals, especially horses, cattle, and dogs.
Maintaining a studbook establishes lineage for purebred animals and validates their eligibility for registration with breed associations.
The mare's bloodline traces back seven generations in the studbook.
