it was my understanding that the information contained within a pedigree is
not copywritable. I have a lot of English Shepherd pedigree info on the web
and the only part that carries a copywrite notice is the photos of the dogs
in question. Because I didn't want to annoy any of the various ES
registries I did not include registrationnumbers, but I've got everything
else online.
