Genetics and Health Testing. Finally Organized.
You invest the time and money in health testing because you care about your program. BreederHQ makes sure that investment pays off by keeping everything organized, accessible, and easy to share.
You do the testing. The paperwork is the hard part.
The testing itself isn't the problem. It's managing all of it afterward:
- • Different tests for different breeds
- • Some tests are one-time (DNA), some need renewal (eyes, cardiac)
- • Results live in different places (breed registries, lab reports, vet records)
- • Buyers want proof, but finding it takes time
- • Breeding decisions depend on having current information
- • Forgetting a renewal can affect sales and reputation
You've done the work. You deserve to get credit for it without spending 30 minutes digging through files every time someone asks.
The systems you've been making work
Paper files
A folder per animal with test results stuffed inside. It works, but finding a specific result means digging, and sharing with a buyer means scanning or photographing.
Email folders
Lab results in email. Registry certificates in another email. Scattered across years of messages.
Breed registries and databases
OFA, ADGA, AQHA, ARBA and others keep official records. But they don't include everything, and you can't attach your own notes or track pending tests.
Memory
"I know she's been tested." "I think that was last year?" You know the information, but pulling it up on the spot is another story.
Spreadsheets
A list of tests and dates. No connection to the animal's other records. No attached documents. No reminders.
Where those systems start to stretch thin
Results end up everywhere
DNA results from one lab. Registry results from another. Specialist exams from the vet. FAMACHA scores in a notebook. Coggins in your email. You know where everything is, but it's in six different places.
Renewals sneak up on you
Eye exams need annual renewal. Cardiac clearances may need renewal. When you're managing multiple animals with different test dates, it's easy for one to slip past.
Sharing takes too long
A buyer asks for proof of health testing. You spend 30 minutes finding documents, scanning them, and sending them. You've done this enough times to know it shouldn't be this hard.
The information exists, just not at your fingertips
You're planning a breeding. What's the genetic compatibility? Is her cardiac clearance current? When was his last eye exam? You know the answers, but pulling them all together in one place takes time.
Genetics data is hard to keep organized
Coat color genetics. Health markers. Carrier status. You track all of it, but keeping it organized and connected to breeding decisions is a lot to manage on your own.
What it looks like when everything is in one place
All results in one place per animal
- • DNA panel results attached to the animal
- • Registry and certification results with dates
- • Specialist exam results (eyes, cardiac, patella, FAMACHA, Coggins, CAE/CL)
- • Expiration dates tracked where applicable
Documents attached
- • Actual certificates and reports stored
- • Accessible without digging
- • Shareable with a link or download
Reminders for renewals
- • Tests that expire flagged before expiration
- • No manual reminder setting
- • Proactive notification, not reactive panic
Genetics organized
- • Coat color genetics recorded
- • Health marker status (clear, carrier, affected)
- • Breeding compatibility visible
Buyer access
- • Share relevant documentation through buyer portal
- • Professional presentation
- • No scanning and emailing for each inquiry
How BreederHQ takes the busywork off your plate
All test results attached to the animal. Documents stored and accessible. Renewal reminders automated. Genetics tracked and visible. Buyer portal access so you're not scanning documents for every inquiry. You keep doing what you're already doing. We just make it easier to find, share, and stay on top of.
New: Scout AI Genetics Scanner. Upload any genetics PDF or photo from any lab, any species. Dog panels, equine genetic tests, goat and sheep lab results, cat DNA profiles, rabbit color genetics. Scout AI reads the document and extracts every test result with confidence scores. You see a preview table with each result, matched marker, status, and confidence level. Review, adjust if needed, and save. Two clicks instead of manual entry. Each scanned result links back to the source document.
You already do the hard part. Let BreederHQ handle the rest.
Built for breeders who:
- • Do health testing (obviously)
- • Have multiple animals with different test schedules
- • Share results with buyers
- • Make breeding decisions based on genetics
- • Want to stop losing track of documents
This might be overkill if:
- • You don't do health testing
- • You have one or two animals and paper files work
- • You're not sharing documentation with buyers
Frequently asked questions
Can I store actual documents (PDFs, images)?
Yes. Attach certificates, lab reports, and exam results directly to the animal's record.
Does it remind me when tests expire?
Yes. Tests with renewal requirements are tracked and flagged.
Can buyers see health testing?
Yes. The buyer portal shows what you choose to share. You control visibility.
Does it track genetics?
Yes. Color genetics, health markers, carrier status.
Can Scout AI scan my genetics lab results?
Yes. Upload any genetics PDF or photo from any lab - GenSol, Paw Print, Wisdom Panel, UC Davis, Embark, and more. Scout AI extracts every test result with confidence scores (High, Medium, Low). You review a preview table, include or exclude individual results, and save. Each saved result links back to the source document. Unknown markers are flagged for review.
What about OFA or breed registry integration?
You enter registry results manually. BreederHQ doesn't pull from OFA, ADGA, AQHA, or other registries automatically, but your records can link to them for verification.
