törzskönyvének

Törzskönyvének is a Hungarian word that translates to "pedigree" or "studbook" in English. It refers to a document or record that traces the lineage and ancestry of an animal, most commonly a dog or a horse. This genealogical record is crucial in pedigree animal breeding to ensure the continuation of desirable traits and to maintain breed standards.

A törzskönyvének typically includes information such as the animal's name, breed, date of birth, registration number, and the names and registration numbers of its parents, grandparents, and often further back in its ancestry. It may also contain details about the animal's physical characteristics, performance records, and any relevant health clearances. For registered animals, the törzskönyvének is maintained by breed registries or kennel clubs, which are responsible for upholding the integrity of breed documentation.

The purpose of a törzskönyvének is multifaceted. It helps breeders make informed decisions about mating pairs, aiming to improve the genetic quality of a breed and avoid hereditary diseases. It also serves as proof of an animal's purebred status, which is often a requirement for participation in dog shows, competitions, and for breeding purposes. For owners of pedigree animals, the törzskönyvének is a valuable document that confirms their pet's lineage and can contribute to its prestige and value.
