What this sheet is for

Hold a pedigree on paper so breeding decisions and registrations can be made without reconstructing three years of matings from memory.

Who it is for

Pedigree breeders, smallholders keeping their own replacements, and breed society members.

How to use it

Record registration numbers as well as names.
Note where the registration papers physically are.
Record every mating, including the ones that came to nothing.
Keep the sheet with the animals' other records, not in a drawer.

What is on the sheet

One page, top to bottom:

Printed under the title: Sire, dam and offspring across generations, so a breeding decision can be made without guesswork.

It records the pedigree, it does not advise on it. No inbreeding coefficients, mating recommendations or genetic advice are given here. This records the pedigree you know. Where breeding decisions carry real risk, a breed society or a geneticist is the source, not a printable.

Questions

Will this tell me whether a mating is too close?

No. It records the pedigree you know; it calculates nothing and advises nothing. Where inbreeding is a real risk, your breed society or a geneticist is the source.
