A free, independent pedigree registry.
Built for the record.
A record begins with a source.
A name. A record. A connection across generations. Preserving a bloodline begins with keeping its sources in view.
From source to recordA bloodline is remembered through the records we preserve.

A visual reference for the PITVU heritage section. No documented identity or lineage is attributed to the dog shown.

Not another directory of dogs. PITVU is being designed as a living, evidence-based record of identity, ancestry and the people entrusted with preserving it.
Explore generations of ancestry through a clear, navigable pedigree with documented sources.
↗Follow bloodlines across generations and discover how documented family histories intersect.
↗Every claim has a status. Every change has a history. Evidence comes before approval.
↗From historic pedigrees to modern registrations, PITVU is building a structured, transparent archive. An entry is not a claim of official certification — verification remains explicit and evidence-based.
