For breeders
Everything a breeder does, in one free account
United Pet Club is built for breeders of dogs, cats and other species. Plan the pairing, run the litter, screen buyers and send each animal home with its record, without a litter quota or a card on file.
Litter records free, no quota
Microchips registered free for life
You pay only when you sell a litter
What does United Pet Club offer breeders?
United Pet Club offers breeders free software for the whole breeding cycle: heat tracking and a breeding calendar, genetic compatibility checks, litter records and growth charts, a pedigree builder, application forms, microchip registration and ownership transfers.
It suits dog and cat breeders, kennels and catteries, and breeders of any other species. Every animal you register gets a profile that stays with it for life and moves to the new family when you hand it over.
Most of it costs nothing. You pay when you sell: a Litter Pass per litter covers reservations, protected deposits and whole-litter sharing, contracts come in credit packs, and card payments on invoices carry a processing fee.
Every breeder service in one place
Each item shows how it is paid for: free to use, free with a fee on a sale, part of a plan, or paid with AI credits.

Heat cycles and breeding calendar
Record heats and progesterone or LH results to see each female's fertile window and next expected heat. Heats, matings, due dates and births share one calendar.
Free to use
Genetic compatibility check
Check a pairing before you breed. You see the litter's inbreeding coefficient, the share of affected and carrier offspring per DNA marker, and the breed risks still untested.
Free to use
Pedigree builder
Link each animal's sire and dam and the pedigree builds itself, with the inbreeding coefficient worked out. Each animal's public page shows a three generation chart.
Uses AI credits
RetrieverAI breeding advice
Ask about a pairing and get a plain-language assessment of its inbreeding, DNA results and breed risks. A veterinarian should review it.

Advanced tools for serious breeding programs
These go past record keeping. They help you decide on a pairing, time it and hand the animal over with its full history.

Pick a pairing and see the litter's inbreeding coefficient, the share of affected and carrier offspring for each marker both parents were tested for, and the breed risks still untested.
ā Advanced
Pedigrees with inbreeding coefficient
Link sires and dams and the pedigree builds itself generation by generation, with the coefficient worked out for you.
ā Advanced
Heat cycles with progesterone and LH
Log heats and hormone results to see each female's fertile window and next expected heat, with a reminder before it.
ā Advanced
A lifetime profile that follows each animal
The profile you start at birth moves to the new family at go-home with the records you chose to share, and the chip registration follows it.
ā Advanced
RetrieverAI breeding advice
Get a plain-language assessment of a pairing from its inbreeding, DNA results and breed risks. It uses AI credits and a veterinarian should review it.

Breeder questions
Is there free breeding software for breeders?
Yes. United Pet Club's breeding software is free to use: litter records, growth charts, pedigrees, heat cycles, genetic checks, application forms, microchip registration and transfers. There is no litter quota and no card needed. You pay only for selling tools such as the Litter Pass and contract packs.
Can I manage dog and cat litters in the same account?
Yes. The software covers dogs, cats and other species. Each litter has its own dam, sires, birth records and weigh-ins, and each animal keeps one profile for life, so a mixed kennel and cattery needs only one login. See the guides for dog breeders and cat breeders.
How do I check whether two animals are a good pairing?
Use the genetic compatibility check. It shows the litter's inbreeding coefficient, the share of affected and carrier offspring for each DNA marker both parents were tested for, and the breed risks still untested. RetrieverAI can add a written assessment using AI credits.
Can buyers pay me through United Pet Club?
Yes. You can e-mail an invoice with a PDF, and your client pays by card online. Deposits for a reserved animal are held until both sides confirm the handover. Card fees apply to online payments, and the pricing page lists the rules.
What happens to the microchip when a puppy goes home?
The chip stays registered to the animal and moves to the new owner with the transfer. Registration is free for every chip, and lifetime lost-pet recovery is included, so the gap between homes is covered. The breeder's own copy of the breeding records stays in your account.
Do I need a website to sell my litters?
No. Your breeder profile, the breeder directory and public pages for your animals and litters work without one. If you want a site of your own, you can build it from templates and tie it to your profile. Setup and domain costs are listed on the pricing page.
