First steps

Set up your kennel in a few minutes.

After signing up, you'll see a “First steps” list on the Dashboard. Each step takes a minute, and the list ticks off what you've already done.

1. Kennel details

In Kennel settings, enter your club (e.g. ZKwP), membership number and kennel prefix. Without them you can't publish puppy listings, and our team can't verify your kennel.

2. Your first animal

Add a female or stud with the “+ Animal” button. Faster: take a photo of the pedigree — the app adds the animal along with its ancestors (how it works).

3. Pedigree

Fill in the sire and dam (they can be from outside your kennel). With the ancestors in place, the app calculates the coefficient of inbreeding — COI.

4. Mating or litter

From the mating date, the app calculates the due date and reminds you by email. In a litter you add puppies and weigh them — the chart shows whether they are growing evenly.

5. Shows in your calendar

ZKwP and FCI shows are already in the show calendar. Add the ones you plan to attend — we'll remind you about entry deadlines.

6. Kennel page

Publish your kennel page on breedmanager.eu: animals, litters, show results and a “Notify me about a litter” button for future buyers.

You can hide the list with the “Hide” button — all these places are also in the menu at the top.
