Best dog breeding software in 2026: Wolfie.app Pro vs 9 alternatives

Disclosure: we're the team behind Wolfie.app Pro. We compared every tool on the same criteria, using each vendor's public website and app store listing as checked in November 2026. Prices and features change, so check the vendor's site for the latest.

How we compared

Feature lists all look alike. What matters is whether one app carries you through a whole litter without a spreadsheet on the side. We looked at six things:

• The breeding cycle: heat tracking, progesterone, mating and pregnancy dates.
• Puppy development: daily weights, health events, and how fast you can log them with a puppy in one hand.
• Buyers: applications, reservations, deposits, contracts and communication.
• Pedigrees and genetics: pedigree management, coefficient of inbreeding (COI), test matings.
• Platforms and languages: phone, computer, offline use, and the languages you and your buyers speak.
• Price and data: what you pay to start, whether a small kennel pays at all, and whether you can take your data with you.

Quick comparison

1. Wolfie.app Pro — one app for the whole litter

Wolfie.app Pro is the breeder side of Wolfie.app, the pet care app dog owners use for health records, weight, reminders and nutrition. It follows a litter from the first day of heat to the day each puppy goes home, and every step feeds the next: progesterone timing becomes a mating date, the mating date becomes an expected whelping, and every puppy's weights end up with its new family.

That last step is something a breeder-only tool doesn't give you. When a puppy goes home, its weights, vaccinations and pedigree move to the new owner's free Wolfie.app account — so the family keeps caring for the dog in the same app, and you stay connected to the puppies you bred.

A full application, on your phone and your computer

Wolfie.app isn't a phone app with a cut-down website, or a website squeezed onto a phone. It's the same full application everywhere:

• Native apps for iPhone and Android — log weights in the whelping room, with or without signal.
• A web app for desktop and mobile browsers at app.wolfie.app — plan litters, manage families and read contracts on a big screen, or open it on any phone or tablet.
• Always in sync and offline-first — what you log on your phone is on your computer a moment later.
• 11 languages, including English, German, Polish, French, Spanish, Czech and Slovak — for you and for your puppy buyers.

What breeders get

• Heat and progesterone: heat predicted from the dog's own past cycles; progesterone tests logged in ng/ml or nmol/l and charted with an estimated ovulation and mating window.
• Litters and puppy weights: weigh the whole litter in one go — daily to day 21, then every two days. The lightest puppy is flagged before you'd notice it yourself.
• Families and reservations: applications with questionnaires, deposits and what's still owed, and chat with families without sharing your phone number.
• Contracts and handover: sale contracts signed online, a handover pack as a PDF, and the puppy's history moved to the new owner in one tap.
• Pedigrees and COI: import a pedigree, see Wright's coefficient of inbreeding with its depth, and run a test mating before you plan a litter.
• Kennel page on wolfie.page: a public kennel page, puppy listings and published pedigrees that families can find — and message you from.
• Your whole team: invite a co-breeder or staff to the kennel so everyone logs weights and notes in the same place.
• Your data stays yours: no ads and no selling of data; export litters, puppies, weights and families to Excel or CSV at any time.

New features, all the time

Wolfie.app launched in 2022 and has been on the market for 4 years; in 2026 we added Wolfie.app Pro, the offer for breeders. It ships updates regularly — new tools reach your phone and the web app at the same time, with nothing to reinstall. Wolfie.app Pro is built together with working breeders: what pilot breeders ask for is what we build next.

The pilot programme: your first year of Pro is free

Create your kennel and you get Wolfie.app Pro free for the whole first year — no card needed. Run a litter in the app and tell us what's missing; your feedback decides what we build next. Breeders who keep giving feedback, or who refer other breeders, get their free Pro extended — up to 5 years in total. After the pilot programme, Wolfie.app Pro will be available at a competitive price.

Small kennels don't need the pilot at all: kennels with fewer than 2 litters a calendar year can use Wolfie.app free. Puppy buyers never pay to receive their puppy's history — the owner app is free for up to 4 pets. Breeders in Poland can also book a call in Polish before they join.

Choose it if you want one complete app for the whole litter, on your phone and your computer, with a free first year to try it properly.

2. BreederCloudPro — records plus a website, from $6.99 a month

BreederCloudPro covers pedigrees, litters, contracts with e-signature, payments, a buyer portal and a breeder website. It says it's used by more than 17,000 breeders.

Compared with Wolfie.app Pro: its $6.99 Standard plan is limited to 10 active dams, and its free trial lasts 30 days — Wolfie.app Pro's first year is free. With Wolfie.app Pro, your puppy buyers also carry on in the same owner app their puppy's records move into.

3. Breedera — litter tracking on your phone

Breedera focuses on heat cycles, whelp dates, puppy weights, health records and a waitlist. It has been part of Pet Media Group since 2025. There's a free plan, and the Complete plan costs £9.99 a month.

Compared with Wolfie.app Pro: Breedera runs on phones only — asked whether it works on a laptop or computer, it answers "Not yet". Wolfie.app Pro gives you the same litter work on your phone and in a full web app, together with progesterone charting, contracts signed online, pedigrees with COI and test matings, and the handover into an owner app.

4. BreederBuddy — a CRM from $30 a month

BreederBuddy offers litters, waitlists with deposits, health records, contracts, payments and an AI assistant. The Standard plan is $30 a month; the kennel website comes only with the Pro plan at $60 a month. It runs in the browser and on Android; its iPhone app is "coming soon".

Compared with Wolfie.app Pro: $30 a month after a 30-day trial, $60 for a website, and no iPhone app yet. Wolfie.app Pro's first year is free, your kennel page on wolfie.page is included, it runs on iPhone, Android and the web, and it speaks 11 languages.

5. Dog Breeder Pro — a genetics specialist

Dog Breeder Pro, from Utrecht in the Netherlands, focuses on breeding genetics: trial matings, coat-colour forecasting and inbreeding analysis beyond COI, alongside heat and progesterone, puppy weights, pedigrees and contracts. It has iOS and Android apps and a free trial.

Compared with Wolfie.app Pro: if coat-colour forecasting is the centre of your programme, it's the specialist. For the everyday work of a litter, Wolfie.app Pro does the job with a free first year rather than a trial, and hands each puppy's records to its new owner's app.

6. BreederHQ — invitation only

BreederHQ combines records, genetics, contracts, payments and a marketplace. It's invitation-only, it's currently onboarding breeders in the US and Canada only, and it publishes no price list. Outside those two countries, you can't start at all.

7. BreederPro — breeding programme records

BreederPro presents itself as "breeding program management": animal records, a breeding planner, contracts with e-signing, a client portal, invoicing and an AI assistant connector. It has a free plan and paid plans from $5 a month.

Compared with Wolfie.app Pro: BreederPro doesn't list native iPhone or Android apps. Wolfie.app Pro has both, plus the web app — so you can log weights in the whelping room with or without signal.

8. KennelBoss — a sales-first tool

KennelBoss leads with selling puppies — "We market your puppies. You focus on raising them." — with video calls, reservations and deposits taken online, and it also logs heat cycles and progesterone. It costs $49.99 a month or $449 a year, on iPhone, iPad and the web.

Compared with Wolfie.app Pro: $49.99 a month against a free first year, and no Android app listed — Wolfie.app Pro runs on Android too.

9. Miot.com.pl — built around ZKwP

Miot.com.pl describes itself as software for running ZKwP pedigree kennels: dogs, litters, puppies, breeding, health, finances, documents, buyers and a kennel website. It presents itself around one country's club; Wolfie.app Pro covers the same litter work in Polish and 10 other languages, with an owner app for your puppy buyers.

10. Miotownik — offline, Apple only

Miotownik is a simple offline app for litters, puppy weights, buyers, reminders and documents, sold as a one-time purchase with no subscription. It's available for Apple devices only — no Android app and no web app.

What about spreadsheets, paper and Messenger?

They cost nothing and need no migration — until the second litter overlaps the first. A spreadsheet remembers; it doesn't remind you to weigh a litter, flag the puppy that stopped gaining, or hand the puppy's records to its new family. If you're still on paper, Wolfie.app is free for kennels with fewer than 2 litters a calendar year, so trying it costs nothing.

Which should you choose?

• You want the whole litter — heat to handover — in one app, on your phone and computer: Wolfie.app Pro.
• You want to try breeding software properly before paying anything: the Wolfie.app Pro pilot — your first year is free.
• You raise fewer than 2 litters a year: Wolfie.app, free.
• Coat-colour forecasting is the one thing you need: Dog Breeder Pro is the specialist.

Whichever you pick, check two things before you commit: that the app runs on every device you use, and that you can export all your data.
