Animal record with photos, health log, and lineage
003. Animal records, natively.

Every animal. Every record. One page

Photos, health log, registration numbers, weight curves, genetics, titles, status. One record per animal. Update once. The change rolls through every page that references the animal: your site, the pedigree tree, the waitlist, the directory listing.

  • AKC, UKC, and species-specific registry fields are first-class. No custom metafields, no plugin reach.
  • OFA / CHIC clearances drop onto the animal once and surface on every page that references the animal.
  • Species-aware traits: weight + color + morph + pattern for reptiles; structure + temperament + titles for dogs.
  • QR codes link to live records. Print a cage card or show tag; buyers scan and see the current state.
004. Lineage that links.

Pedigrees that actually go five generations

Click any sire or dam to drill in. Cross-kennel lineage links pull the partner kennel's animal into your tree when you co-bred. Dashed borders mark animals from partner programs. No drawing, no PDFs. The whole program reads as one connected pedigree.

  • 5+ generations recorded. Click any ancestor to open the full animal record.
  • Cross-kennel lineage: link to a partner kennel's animal once; the connection is mutual and survives both programs.
  • Visual tree on every animal page. Reads the same on a 13" laptop and a 6" phone.
  • Lineage notes per pairing: line-bred / outcross / linebreeding coefficient, surfaced where breeders actually plan.

03Litters

Litters, pairings, pups.

Plan a pairing. Log the whelp or hatch. Assign pups to waitlist holders. Deposits route to the right pup automatically. The litter lifecycle is one record from intent to placement.

04Waitlists

Waitlists that earn the name.

Tied to animals, litters, or a morph combo. Buyers pick the pup they want. Deposits hold the spot. You see the whole queue with one click. Contracts wait in-thread next to the waitlist row.

05Genetics

Species-aware genetics.

Het. Albino. Line-bred champions. Polygenic color. Sex-linked traits. Record what your species actually needs, not what a generic CMS allows. Reptiles, dogs, cats, livestock all run the same engine.

06Directory

Find a Breeder listing.

Every Breed Ledger program gets a directory listing buyers can browse by species and region. Buyers click through to the kennel's own site, not a marketplace. Breed Ledger does not broker the sale.

Browse the directory
07Payouts

Stripe Connect to your bank.

Deposits and registration fees route through Stripe Connect. Payouts land in your bank account on the schedule you set. Every transaction ties to the animal and the buyer record. End-of-year taxes get easier.

08Contracts

E-signed contracts in-thread.

Contracts wait in the same thread as the waitlist row and the deposit ledger. Templates ready out of the box. Sign once, recorded against the animal and the buyer forever.

09SEO

SEO-ready the moment you publish.

Every page ships with structured data, OG images, sitemaps, alt text, and fast-loading layouts. Already tuned for "[breed] breeder in [state]" searches. No consultant. No plugin.

All nine ship native. Free to start

No card to sign up. No per-animal fee. Bring your animals; Breed Ledger brings the platform.
