Pups reference

A pup is an individual puppy in a litter, with its own page for photos, growth, status, its sale and its listing. Add pups from inside a litter with Add pup.

Name or label

How you refer to this pup — a name, a number, or a collar colour like "Green collar". Required. You can rename a pup at any time.

Sex

Male or female. Optional.

Status

Where the pup is in its journey: Available, Reserved, Sold or Kept. Required (defaults to Available). Status drives how the pup appears on the litter and feeds the litter's overall status. A pup marked Sold or Kept counts as finished for that litter.

Colour

The pup's colour or markings. Optional. Appears on the listing and helps buyers tell pups apart.

Microchip number

The pup's microchip number, once chipped. Optional until you chip it. When entered it must be a valid microchip number (15-digit ISO, or legacy 9–10 digit). Entering it ticks the pup's "microchipped" compliance item and lets the number flow onto the contract, listing and handover sheet.

This field is the only place the stamp takes the pup's chip number from. A Microchip record also ticks "microchipped", but on its own it leaves the number blank on your documents — they show the chip as pending. If the document reader found the number on the pup's own Microchip record, a Use this number button on the pup's page copies it here in one click. See Microchip records and the pup's chip number.

A contract that's already been drafted keeps the wording it was drafted with. If you add the chip number afterwards, the sale page tells you which lines of an unsigned contract no longer match, so you can update it before the buyer signs.

Notes

Free text, private to you. Optional.

On the pup page

Beyond these fields, a pup's page brings together:

• a hero photo and the pup's photos and weights (its growth chart);
• its compliance ticks (microchip, vaccination, worming) for this pup;
• a sale snapshot if the pup is assigned to a buyer — see Sales & Contracts;
• a buyer-sharing link to the pup's private buyer page;
• the Generate listing button — see Generate a listing.
