Turn the page on or off and select only the sections you want each buyer to see.

Easy sharing

Send the unique link by email or text from the puppy profile.

Build a polished breeder page families can trust.

Turn on a public kennel profile with your own colors, background patterns, logo, website and Facebook links, available puppies, public litters, breeder articles, and a custom puppy application form.

Track early neurological stimulation, scent introduction, temperament notes, confidence, handling, and best-fit homes.

Show days until estimated birthdate, pregnancy day, stage, progress bar, weight trends, and temperature trends.

Litter Growth Dashboard

See every puppy in a litter at once with shared weight charts and collar-color-based growth lines.

Growth Alerts

Flag missed weigh-ins, no-gain entries, below-litter-average puppies, and simple breed-size growth context.

Stud Service Notes

Track sire stud terms, fee notes, semen inventory, collection details, and breeding history in one place.

What is PuppyNest?

PuppyNest is a dog breeding management app made for breeders who want records, reminders, photos, applications, family trees, public updates, documents, and printable reports in one organized workspace. Instead of juggling notebooks, spreadsheets, phone notes, and file folders, breeders can track each dog, heat cycle, breeding, pregnancy, litter, puppy, buyer, and go-home detail from a secure account.

It is designed for real breeder routines: logging daily heat signs, tracking progesterone notes, preparing for whelping, recording puppy birth details, monitoring weights and milestones, documenting ENS/ESI and temperament, managing custom applications, sharing private puppy progress pages, styling public kennel profiles, and creating branded worksheets or puppy packets for new owners.

Free Lifetime Access

PuppyNest is free for breeders.

Create an account and use the full workspace: dogs, dams, sires, heat cycles, progesterone graphs, pregnancies, litters, puppy growth charts, buyer progress pages, printables, documents, reminders, and public kennel tools. No subscription, no Stripe checkout, and no credit card required.
