Pedigree refers to the recorded ancestry or lineage of an individual, most commonly used for animals such as dogs, horses, or livestock, but also applicable to people or ideas. In animal breeding, a pedigree documents the registered parents, grandparents, and earlier generations to show genetic background, purity of breed, and traits that may be inherited. In a broader sense, pedigree can describe the origin and history of a person, family, institution, or product, emphasizing reputation, quality, and established background. It is often used to assess credibility, breeding value, or social standing based on documented heritage.
