See the litter before you breed it.
Pair any sire and dam and read what the litter can actually produce — coat colour, pattern, texture, length, generation and an adult weight range, calculated from the genotypes already on your dogs.
Forty loci, not just colour
Base coat, pattern and markings, coat texture and length, body features, size and structure. E, B, D, K, A, S, M and the rest are modelled with their real dominance order, so merle, brindle, parti and furnishings behave the way they do in a litter rather than the way a colour chart suggests.
Percentages from the pairing, not averages
Every locus is crossed as a Punnett square and the results combined into phenotypes with their likelihoods. It is the arithmetic a breeder does on paper for one locus, done for all of them at once and without the slip.
Generation worked out properly
F1 × F1 is an F1B, not another F1 — the pairing table knows the difference, including the doodle crosses most often got wrong. Pairings the table does not cover and that match on both sides breed true rather than reporting “mixed”.
Lab report in, litter odds out.
The genotypes go on the dog once. Every pairing you model afterwards reads from them.
- 01
Enter each dog's genotypes once
From your Embark, Wisdom Panel, Paw Print or UC Davis report — thirteen labs are recognised — onto the sire and dam profiles.
- 02
Pick a sire and a dam
Any two of your dogs, from the list KennelBoss already has. Nothing to re-key.
- 03
Read the litter's odds
Coat colour, pattern, texture and length as percentages, with the generation the pairing produces and an estimated adult weight range from the parents.
- 04
Model the next pairing before you commit
Swap the sire, swap the dam, and compare. The cost of trying a pairing on screen is nothing; the cost of trying it in a whelping box is a year.
Common questions
How many traits does it actually predict?
Forty loci across base coat colour, pattern and markings, coat texture and length, body features, size and structure — E, B, D, K, A, S, M and the rest, each with its real dominance order.
Is this a rule of thumb or the actual genetics?
The actual arithmetic. Every locus is crossed as a Punnett square and the results combined into phenotypes with likelihoods — the calculation a breeder does on paper for one locus, done for all of them without the slip.
What does it say about generation?
What the pairing really produces. F1 × F1 is an F1B, not another F1; F1B × F1B is an F2B. Pairings outside the table that match on both sides breed true rather than reading as mixed.
Do I need both parents DNA tested?
For colour odds, yes — the forecast reads the genotypes you entered. Generation and the estimated adult weight range come from the parents' own records and work without a panel.
Is it on the phone or only the desktop?
Both. The same engine runs in the app and the dashboard, so a pairing you model in the kennel gives the same answer as one modelled at the desk.
Plan the pairing on screen, not in the whelping box.
