ProPedigreePup
Because serious breeders deserve serious tools.
The Problem
Professional dog breeders track pedigrees, health certificates, heat cycles, and litter records across spreadsheets, paper notebooks, and fragmented apps. No single tool is built the way breeders actually think — by dog, by litter, by lineage. The tools that exist are either too simple or designed by people who have never bred a dog.
The Approach
A professional breeding management app built for how breeders actually work. Pedigree trees with visual lineage tracing, health certificate tracking with vet integration, heat cycle predictions, litter planning, and buyer waitlist management — all organized around the breeding program, not generic database records.

Deep Dive
The Problem
Professional dog breeders run real operations on tools that were never built for them. Pedigrees, health certificates, heat cycles, and litter records get tracked across spreadsheets, paper notebooks, and a handful of fragmented apps — none of which think the way a breeder does.
Breeders think by dog, by litter, by lineage. The software they are offered thinks in generic database records. The tools that do exist are either too simple to run a program on or were clearly designed by people who have never bred a dog. The result is a serious craft managed with improvised systems.
The Approach
ProPedigreePup is a breeding management app built for how breeders actually work — organized around the breeding program, not generic records.
It brings the pieces of a breeding operation into one place: pedigree trees with visual lineage tracing, health-certificate tracking with vet integration, heat-cycle predictions, litter planning, and buyer-waitlist management. Each feature is shaped to the breeder's mental model — by dog, by litter, by lineage — so the tool reflects the work instead of fighting it.
What's Inside
- Pedigree trees — visual lineage tracing across generations.
- Health-certificate tracking — records kept with vet integration, not scattered across files.
- Heat-cycle predictions and litter planning — the breeding calendar made structured.
- Buyer-waitlist management — demand organized alongside the program that fulfills it.
Who It's For
ProPedigreePup is for professional dog breeders, kennel clubs, and breed-preservation programs — people running serious breeding operations who deserve serious tools.
My Role
I am the founder and product architect. The design problem here is fidelity: building software that matches how breeders genuinely think rather than imposing a generic data model on a specialized craft.
Status
ProPedigreePup is in planning, designed as a mobile app on React Native (Expo) with Firebase. The current work is shaping the data model around the breeding program itself — the decision that determines whether the rest of the tool feels native to breeders or foreign to them.
