Your Entire Breeding Operation.
One Platform.
BreederHQ is breeding-program management software for nine species — dogs, cats, horses, goats, sheep, cattle, alpacas, llamas, and rabbits. One account combines herd records, breeding planner, offspring tracking, finances, e-signature buyer portal, waitlist management, and a public marketplace, with a 14-day free trial from $29/month.
BreederHQ replaces the spreadsheets, scattered tools, and disconnected apps you've been stitching together. Health records, genetics, breeding plans, finances, client portals, and your marketplace listing, all connected and all in one place.

Sound Familiar?
Scattered Data
Pedigrees in one place, health records in another, finances in a third. Nothing talks to anything else.
Manual Everything
Tracking cycles by hand, texting buyer updates one-by-one, copying the same data into three different tools.
Invisible to Buyers
You do everything right (health testing, documentation, responsible practices), but buyers can't see any of it.
Here's What It Actually Looks Like
These are real screens from a working BreederHQ account. No mockups, no marketing renders.
Every Animal, At a Glance
Every animal with breed, sex, status, and tags. Click any card for the full profile, pedigree, health records, and breeding history.
Breeding Plans, Phase By Phase
Plan and track every breeding from heat detection through placement. The system tracks the phase automatically based on the dates you record.
Track Every Newborn Through Placement
Identifiers, weights, photos, paperwork status, and which buyer each one is going to, all in one place.
Invoicing Without The Spreadsheet
Generate invoices from the breeding program data you already have. Track deposits, payments, and outstanding balances per buyer.

Identity and Credentials on Your Profile
BreederHQ does not verify or vouch for breeders. What appears on your profile comes from three layers buyers can see and weigh for themselves.
Identity confirmation (Stripe Identity)
Complete identity verification through Stripe Identity, a service operated by Stripe, Inc. Your profile shows “Identity confirmed via Stripe Identity” with the date Stripe returned the result.
Public-registry passthrough
For credentials issued by organizations with a public registry (OFA, AKC, AFA, state licensing boards), BreederHQ may query the registry and display “Confirmed via [registry] registry” with the query date and a link to the source record. The issuing body is the authoritative source.
Your own attestation
Health testing records, breeding program history, business policies, and any credential without a Layer 2 passthrough are your own attestation. You may upload supporting documents. BreederHQ does not open, read, or vouch for any uploaded document.
Profile Indicators
Separately, BreederHQ may display Profile Indicators based on your account history on the platform. These are facts about how you have used BreederHQ, not endorsements.
- Joined date — when your account was created
- Typical response time — rolling average for buyer inquiries through the platform
- Completed transactions — count of platform transactions closed without a pending dispute
- Open disputes — count of unresolved platform disputes at time of display
Scout AI
Ask questions about your animals, breeding plans, finances, and medications in plain English. Scout connects directly to your data and gives you instant answers without searching through records.
"Which of my females are due for health testing renewal?"
"What's my revenue this quarter compared to last?"
Mobile Companion App
The on-the-go partner to the BreederHQ web app — not a replacement for it. Built for in-the-moment capture: log a newborn weight, snap a receipt, reply to a buyer, pull up a pedigree at a show. The setup work and deeper analysis stay in the web app.
Native iOS & Android. Push notifications. Syncs instantly with the BreederHQ web app.

What is BreederHQ?
BreederHQ is breeding-program management software for dogs, cats, horses, goats, sheep, cattle, alpacas, llamas, and rabbits. It combines herd records, pedigree and genetics tools, a phase-based breeding planner, offspring tracking, finances, an e-signature buyer portal, waitlist management, and a public marketplace in one platform with a 14-day free trial.
What species does BreederHQ support?
Nine species, all available on every plan: dogs, cats, horses, goats, sheep, cattle, alpacas, llamas, and rabbits. Each species has species-specific workflows for breeding cycles, gestation, offspring stages, and registry support (AKC, ADGA, AOBA, AQHA, Jockey Club, APHA, AHA, USEF, NSIP, and more).
How much does BreederHQ cost?
BreederHQ pricing is $29/mo Standard, $79/mo Pro, or $159/mo Enterprise. Every plan includes a 14-day free trial, unlimited animals, unlimited contacts, and unlimited breeding plans. Founders get 50% off Pro and Enterprise for 12 months with code FOUNDER50 (first 100 subscribers).
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every plan includes a 14-day free trial. You enter payment details to start the trial and can cancel anytime before it ends at no charge.
Does BreederHQ replace my spreadsheets?
Yes. BreederHQ replaces scattered spreadsheets, drive folders, and single-purpose apps with one connected system: health records, pedigrees, breeding plans, finances, client communications, and your marketplace listings all share the same underlying program data.
Does BreederHQ include a buyer-facing marketplace?
Yes. Every subscription tier includes a public marketplace presence at marketplace.breederhq.com. Listings are powered by your real program data — health testing, pedigrees, and identity confirmation surface automatically without re-entry. We never take a percentage of your sales.
How does BreederHQ compare to dog-only breeder software?
BreederHQ supports nine species under one account, while most breeder software (BreederBuddy, Dog Breeder Pro) supports one or two species. BreederHQ also includes an integrated public marketplace, OFA Sync, CHIC Readiness, and Scout AI document extraction. See our full comparison at /compare/best-dog-breeding-software.
Who built BreederHQ?
BreederHQ was founded in 2024 by Aaron Payne and Carie Chapman Barber. The company is independent and not owned by a registry, breed club, or marketplace operator.
