You can get some information for free. The following computer info. may not be exact. Go to akc.org. Go to the store. You will have to register. No biggie. After registering, click on awards and points. You may have to click on awards and points again. Then, you can click on the "search for a new dog." Here you put in the registered names of any of your dog's ancestors. If that dog has any titles, points or qualifying scored in performance events, it will show - for free. It only goes back to 1980, and the detailed report doesn't go back even that far.

However, if you want to know the pedigree, you will have to pay. Again, go to akc.org and go into the store. Look for the stuff about getting a pedigree. I think you have several choices you can choose from. The more ancestors, the more expensive.

You should have a pedigree with yuur AKC papers. I think the three generation pedigree comes with registration. This is stuff you always want to keep for future reference.

Doing a Google search is also good, except you may not find your dog's ancestors listed. Some of my dog's ancestors are on the net and some are not.
