pedigree
/ˈpɛd.ɪ.ɡɹi/
When talking about animals, "pedigree" often refers to the actual physical document (the certificate) that proves the animal's lineage. In a social or professional context, it is used as a way to describe someone's credentials or background. It usually implies that the person has high-quality training or comes from a prestigious institution. While it can be used for any ancestor, it most often carries a positive connotation of being "distinguished" or "elite."

Chloe uses 'sus' (slang for suspicious) to express doubt about the animal's documented lineage, while Ryan's use of 'bet' serves as a casual agreement/acknowledgment, reflecting his oblivious and low-effort communication style.
