Hello! Please explain me some below: 3,5 - 4,4.........Some dog Here we have line to a dog named Some Dog 3,5 means that Some Dog is in the dogs 3rd and 5th leg in the fathers side 4,4 means that Some Dog is twice in the 4th leg, mothers side. What this mean? Sorry, but I newbee and English is not my native language. Can anyone demonstrate me how this will work?

Alexweb, Rather than write elaborate explanations, I will post a site I found that gives a very good write-up of Pedigree use in breeding decisions. The site is one for sled-dogs, but the information applies to any type of dog breed. http://www.seppalasleddogs.com/breeding5.htm Scroll down to PEDIGREES AND HOW TO USE THEM.

to demonstrate just go to a dog's pedigree and click on "linebreeding" that should give you the idea of what it means.
