Introduction

The De Vine Farm Pedigree program is a pedigree program designed primarily for researching and evaluating pedigrees. It maintains information about dogs and their owner/breeders. For more information go to this page about its history. The program comes with a database of information about over 26,000 Mastiffs and thousands of addresses.

There are two versions of the program that work with the same database. The earlier DOS version is installed along with the newer Windows version from the same CD. Most people just use the Windows version.

If you have any questions please e-mail me at djones@devinefarm.net
