The World’s Largest Pointer Pedigree Database
63,600+ pedigrees • 200+ years of history • Free, global, and continually expanding
Welcome to the Ledgands Pointer Pedigree Database – the most comprehensive online archive of Pointer lineage anywhere in the world. Created for breeders, exhibitors, researchers, and enthusiasts, this resource preserves the heritage of the breed while supporting thoughtful, informed breeding decisions.
The Pointer has been shaped by generations of dedication – breeders with vision, dogs who defined eras, and bloodlines that carried the breed forward. This database brings their stories together, each one a thread in the tapestry of Pointer history. Explore the dogs who came before, trace the lines that shaped today’s champions, and build trial matings that honour the past while planning for the future.
This database is maintained as a global resource, bringing together pedigrees from the UK and around the world to help preserve the breed’s history for generations to come.
What you can do here
⇒ Pedigree search
Instantly access detailed pedigrees spanning more than two centuries of Pointer history. Review multi‑generational lineages, explore siblings and litters, and view photographs where available.
⇒ Trial Mating
Simulate potential litters and generate a full trial pedigree. Responsible breeding is built on informed decisions. This tool helps you:
- Understand genetic diversity within a proposed pairing
- Identify duplicated ancestors
- Compare potential sires and dams
- Preserve valuable lines while maintaining health and variation
It automatically includes calculations of the COI (Coefficient of Inbreeding) and ALC (Ancestor Loss Coefficient) which enable you to understand the genetic diversity and ancestral contribution at a glance – essential for responsible, well‑informed breeding.
Contribute to preserving the history of the Pointer.
♥ You can submit individual dogs or entire litters, adding valuable pedigree information that strengthens the accuracy and depth of this global archive. Every contribution helps connect generations, fill historical gaps, and support responsible breeding for years to come. Join Pointer lovers worldwide in building the most complete record of the breed.
Thanks to the dedication of Pointer enthusiasts across the globe, this ever‑growing archive stands as a trusted, authoritative resource for anyone passionate about understanding, protecting, and advancing the breed.
Here’s a quick guide to COI and ALC:
What is COI? The Coefficient of Inbreeding estimates how genetically similar the sire and dam are. Lower COI = greater genetic diversity.
What is ALC? The Ancestor Loss Coefficient measures how many unique ancestors appear in a pedigree. Higher ALC = more unique ancestors.
For a full explanation of COI and ALC see here.
All calculations are based on the depth and completeness of the pedigrees in the database. As new dogs and historical lines are added, results may update over time.
