Step-by-step recipes for everyday Whelpkeep tasks — managing buyers, creating litters, taking deposits, adding records, generating listings, importing data and selling a pup.

Task-based recipes for the things you do regularly. Each one assumes you've set up your account; if you haven't, start with Getting started.

Everyday tasks

  • Manage your waitlist & buyers — add buyers, set pick order, move them through the stages and assign a pup.
  • Create a litter — record a mating, set the whelp date and add pups.
  • Add pups — add individual puppies and keep their details current.
  • Take a deposit — connect Stripe and send a buyer a secure deposit link.
  • Sell a pup — set the price, generate and sign the contract, and hand over.

Records, listings & compliance

Bringing data in and sharing it out

  • Import your data — bring in records from spreadsheets, PDFs, photos and documents.
  • Buyer puppy pages — give each buyer a private page with updates, records and their contract.
