Managing Your Dogs & Litters

Every record in BreederBuddy starts with your animals. Your dogs are the foundation — once they’re in the system, everything else (litters, health records, pedigrees, finances) builds on top of them automatically.

The Core Idea

You add your dogs once. From there, BreederBuddy connects them to litters, tracks their health history, builds their pedigrees, and displays them on your public program page and website — all without you having to enter anything twice. Think of it in three layers:
  • Dogs — your individual animals, each with their own full profile
  • Litters — a breeding between two of your dogs, tracking every puppy from whelp to go-home
  • Planning — the Litter Planner lets you map out future breedings before they happen

What Each Feature Covers

Dogs

Add and manage every dog in your program — health records, heat cycles, weight, gallery, genetics, and more.

Litters

Track each litter from planned through born and completed. Manage puppies, statuses, finances, and go-home dates.

Litter Planner

Plan future breedings by pairing sires and dams before a litter is born.

Pedigrees

View and share a visual family tree for any dog in your program.

Genetics

Record and track genetic test results for each dog in one place.

Where to Start

If you’re just getting set up:
  1. Add your sires and dams — go to Dogs and add each of your active breeding animals
  2. Add any current litters — go to Litters and create a record for each active litter
  3. Add your puppies — from inside each litter, add each puppy with their collar color or name
Once your animals are in, the rest of the system starts working for you.
