<p><strong>Built for breeders, kennel clubs, and dog registries</strong> who are tired of managing pedigree data in scattered Excel files, Facebook albums, or expensive proprietary software.</p>
<p>Spotmaniac Dog Pedigree turns your WordPress site into a structured, searchable, public-facing catalog of your dogs. Each dog gets a dedicated page with photo, registration data, parents, and full breeding info. Visitors browse a responsive catalog with filters. You manage everything from the familiar WordPress admin.</p>
<p><strong>No page creation. No theme conflicts. No technical setup.</strong> Activate the plugin, save permalinks once, and your catalog is live at <code>/dogs/</code>.</p>
<h4>🐶 Why Spotmaniac Dog Pedigree?</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Designed for dogs, not generic CPTs.</strong> 22 purpose-built fields cover every detail a breeder needs – name, sex, color, dates, registration numbers, microchip, tattoo, club number, breeder, owner, titles, health, description, and more.</li>
<li><strong>Looks great out of the box.</strong> Responsive card grid catalog, clean single-dog page with photo hero, color-coded badges, and a Litter Mates section that auto-builds from parent links.</li>
<li><strong>Owner self-service.</strong> Logged-in owners can update their own dogs’ photos, titles, and basic info via a secure REST endpoint – no admin access needed.</li>
<li><strong>Theme-agnostic.</strong> Works with any well-built theme. Override any template by copying it to your theme folder.</li>
<li><strong>Privacy-respecting.</strong> No external tracking, no telemetry, no calls home. Your data stays in your database.</li>
