How to add your first litter

Updated over a year ago

This tab is where you can add a litter to your breed profile.

I have a planned, upcoming or newborn litter

  1. Select the drop down box and click "+ Add a new litter"
    ​
    ​

  2. The breed profile should be selected by default;
    ​


    ​
    ​

  3. Choose whether it is a planned litter, confirmed pregnancy or a newborn litter.
    ​

    What's the difference?
    Planned: is a planned litter sometime in the future.
    ​
    Confirmed pregnancy: is a pregnancy you know is happening and you have a future birth date.
    ​
    Newborn: you've got physical, newborn puppies on the ground.
    ​
    ​
    ​

  4. Follow the steps and enter in the details of the litter. If it's a newborn litter - don't forget to add photos! Click "Save Litter" when you are finished to save the litter.
    ​

I don't have a planned, upcoming or newborn litter at the moment

All good, adding a litter is optional. So if you don't have any litter plans at the moment, click "Transport" to move onto the next section.

How to add a litter in the future

Desktop (Laptop, PC, Mac):
​

If you would like to add a litter in the future (for example: once your profile has been published and you have a planned, confirmed pregnancy or newborn litter), then you can click the "dogs and litters" option in the menu.

Mobile:

If you are on mobile, click the three lines on the top left hand side of the screen to open the menu, then scroll down to find the same same "Dogs and litters" menu options, as per the example screenshots below:

Best practices

  1. If you have a planned litter, confirmed pregnancy or a newborn litter - ALWAYS add the litter in. This is how it will be seen in the search results.
    ​
    ​

  2. If you have a litter on the ground - always add the litter first, then add puppies to that litter as your profile also shows individual puppies.
    ​
    ​Profiles that have individual puppies added and available, will show more prominently in the search results.

  3. Photos tell a great story, so it's important to show off your litters by adding photos to them.
    ​
    If it is a confirmed pregnancy, then a photo of the mum and dad breeding dogs sitting side by side (please, no naughty business photos!) is a great cover photo:

    If it is a newborn litter, then a group litter photo with mum or even if you have a photo when them playing or in a staged photo setting looks amazing (example photo below):
