Start with a kit.
Each kit is a connected workflow. The documents reference each other and cover a full stage of the breeder lifecycle.
The Breeder Contract Kit
Most popular for new dog breeders
Nine breeder contracts in two formats, with field-note annotations explaining why each clause exists.

The Show Trial Kit
For show and trial breeders
Eight documents and spreadsheets for running a show and trial season as a managed program instead of a reactive one.
The Puppy Waitlist System Kit
For programs with active waitlists

Built for gecko keepers and breeders

Breeder paperwork, written by working breeders.
Every contract, form, log, and playbook in this shop came out of a real breeding program before it was written for sale. The puppy sales contracts cover the disputes that actually happen at placement. The whelping log and puppy weight chart capture the data a vet asks for when something goes wrong. The buyer application and home questionnaire surface fit problems before a deposit is on the table. The Keeper's Emergency Kit ships the crisis playbooks that turn 2am buyer emails into 2am buyer self-rescue.
What separates these from the free templates floating around Facebook groups: every clause has a field note explaining why it exists, every spreadsheet has live formulas, every kit is updated when a working breeder catches a gap. A working attorney reviewed the contract language. The husbandry parameters in the reptile kit are species-specific for leopard and crested geckos, not a generic care-sheet cut-and-paste. Free updates inside the major version are included with every purchase.
Buyers split roughly into three programs: working dog breeders running placement workflows that touch contracts, deposits, stud service, co-ownership, and guardian homes; show and trial exhibitors managing season plans, judge research, point tracking, and ringside critique; and reptile keepers and breeders sending go-home kits with symptom triage, daily husbandry logs, and crisis playbooks.

Every document, filterable.
A few things people ask.
Every contract is drafted with the standard structural elements required to be enforceable in any US state: offer, consideration, mutual assent, performance terms. State-specific clauses (registry, return-of-animal procedures) use bracketed placeholder fields you fill in. The kit ships with a one-page note flagging which fields most often need state-specific edits. High-value placements should still get a local attorney's review.
Free templates are written once and never updated. These are field-tested in working breeding programs, drafted with input from a working attorney, and revised when real placements expose gaps. Every clause has an annotated field note explaining why it exists, so edits are deliberate. And every purchase includes lifetime updates inside the major version.
Yes. Every kit document is sold individually for $4.99 (most), $2.99 (keeper kit playbooks), or $1.99 (one-page references and the entry-level basic contract). The kit bundles save money for buyers who need three or more documents from the same workflow.
Most documents ship as both an editable Word (.docx) and a fillable PDF. Spreadsheets like the Whelping Log, Puppy Weight Tracker, and Husbandry Tracking Workbook are native .xlsx with live formulas. The free starter kit at /kit ships PDF only.
Yes. The Keeper's Emergency Kit is 22 documents plus a 6-tab husbandry workbook covering triage flowcharts, daily logs, crisis playbooks, vet communication, and environment failsafes for leopard and crested geckos. The Live Arrival Guarantee and the Animal Sales Contract are also species-agnostic and work for reptile placements.
Documents tagged Universal apply to any species and appear in every species view by default. Dog-specific docs use canine workflow language (litters, whelping, AKC and UKC registries). Reptile content is tagged Reptiles and lives mainly in the Keeper's Emergency Kit.
Yes. Every paid kit and individual document gets free updates inside its current major version (v1.x). When a state changes a registry rule or a working breeder catches something that belongs in the kit, the next version lands in your inbox. No subscription, no upsell.
