How to make and print a pigeon pedigree

A good pedigree is a breeder's calling card. Buyers look at the ancestors and results first, and the price second. In Pigeclub you make a pedigree once and print it as often as you like.

What a pedigree should show

  • The pigeon's ring number, with country and year.

  • Parents, grandparents and great-grandparents, with their ring numbers.
  • Race results of the best pigeons in the tree.
  • Your details: name, town and contact.

Step by step

  2. Fill in the ancestors. Pigeclub suggests pigeons you already have by their ring.
  3. Add results and notes to the pigeons that deserve them.
  4. Choose a design and set your details.
