Sires & dams

Every breeding dog, fully documented.

Registration, health panels, OFA results, DNA genotypes, weight, guardian homes and stud availability — one profile per dog, on the phone in the kennel and the desktop in the office.

01

The whole dog in one profile

Registration and champion lines, breed, colour and generation, weight, photos, and status — the things you are asked for by a buyer, a stud enquiry, or a registry, kept in one place instead of across a folder, a spreadsheet, and your memory.

02

Health testing that survives the year

Record disease panels by test code and OFA results by exam — hips, elbows, cardiac, eyes — with the method and the expiry where the panel has one. A clearance that has lapsed is worth knowing about before a stud owner asks, not after.

03

Genotypes the forecast can use

Enter each locus result from your lab report once, on the dog. Every pairing you model afterwards reads from it, so a colour prediction is never a retyped genotype away from being wrong.

/ how it works

From a name and a photo to a fully documented breeding dog.

Build the profile in the order the information actually arrives — the dog first, the paperwork as it comes back from the lab and the vet.

  1. 01

    Create the sire or dam

    Name, breed, date of birth, colour, generation and a photo. Enough to be useful in a minute, and the rest can follow.

  2. 02

    Add registration and champion lines

    The registered name and the lines behind the dog — what a buyer asks about and what a pedigree is built from.

  3. 03

    Record health clearances as they come back

    Disease panels and OFA exams, with dates. They attach to the dog, so the record travels with every litter it produces.

  4. 04

    Enter DNA genotypes from your lab report

    Whichever panel you use — Embark, Wisdom, Paw Print, UC Davis and nine others are recognised — the loci go on the dog once.

  5. 05

    Flag guardian homes and stud availability

    A dam living with a guardian family is still your dam, and a sire offered at stud can be listed to other breeders from the same profile.

/ questions

Common questions

Can I add a dog without all the paperwork to hand?

Yes. A name, breed and photo is enough to create the dog; registration, health clearances and genotypes go on as they arrive. The profile is meant to be filled in over a year, not in one sitting.

Does it handle a dam living in a guardian home?

Yes. A dam placed with a guardian family is flagged as such and stays in your programme — her cycles, her litters and her health record are still yours, and the guardian home gets the heat prediction too.

Which DNA labs does it understand?

Thirteen, including Embark, Wisdom Panel, Paw Print Genetics, UC Davis VGL, Animal Genetics and Orivet. You enter the loci from whichever report you have; nothing is tied to one provider.

What happens to a health clearance that expires?

OFA results are recorded with their exam type and, where the panel has one, an expiry. The clearance is on the dog, so you can see it has lapsed before a stud enquiry asks rather than after.

Can I offer a dog at stud from the same record?

Yes. A sire you have documented can be listed at stud to other breeders on the network, and the health testing and genotypes already on him are what they see.
