Co-owners

Invite another breeder to share full access to a specific dog’s record — perfect for joint breeding partnerships. Co-ownership is per-dog, so you stay in control of what’s shared.

Co-owners lets you share full access to a specific dog’s record with another breeder. They get to see and edit everything for that dog — pedigree, health, breeding notes, photos — but only for the dogs you invite them on. It’s built for joint breeding partnerships where two kennels share a sire, a dam, or another co-owned dog.

• Revoke a pending invitation before it’s accepted

How It Works

Inviting a Co-owner

You can start an invitation from two places:

From a dog’s profile:

1. Open the dog you want to share.
2. Click Invite Co-owner.
3. Enter the other breeder’s email and (optionally) their kennel name.
4. Send the invite.

From the Co-owners page:

1. Go to Co-owners in the left menu (or Settings → Team → Co-owners).
2. Click Share a dog.
3. Choose the dog, enter the other breeder’s email and kennel, and send.

The other breeder gets an email invitation. Once they accept (from their own Co-owners tab), they have full access to that dog.

Accepting an Invitation

When another breeder invites you:

1. Open Co-owners in your account.
2. You’ll see pending invitations in the Received section.
3. Click Accept to add the dog to your shared list, or Decline to pass.

Managing Co-ownership

The Co-owners page lists every dog you co-own, in either direction. From here you can see who owns what and the current status of each invitation.

Revoking a Pending Invite

If you’ve sent an invite and want to cancel it before it’s accepted, click the trash icon next to the pending invitation and confirm.

Tips & Common Questions

What can a co-owner see and do?

Full access to the shared dog — profile, health certs, pedigree, breeding notes, photos, finances, the works. They can also edit anything. Co-ownership is all-or-nothing per dog.

Can I share multiple dogs with the same person?

Yes — send a separate invite for each dog. The other breeder can accept or decline each one independently.

Is a co-owner the same as a buyer or a guardian home?

No — co-owners are other breeders with shared editing access to a dog. Buyers and guardians are handled through their own contact types and the Buyer Portal.

What happens if I want to end a co-ownership?

Pending invites can be revoked from the Co-owners page. To end an active co-ownership, reach out through the chat in the bottom right — we’ll help you remove the relationship cleanly.
