Overview
Kennel → Litters stores dates, breed context, status, and links to sire and dam. The litter detail page lists younglings and may surface a related Order when an order item points at that litter—use that to see commercial activity alongside biology.
Use the litter record for
- Mother and father references
- Whelping or timeline notes
- All younglings in one table
- Status that reflects where you are in the process
- Avoiding duplicate litters for the same whelping
Practical note
Splitting one whelping across multiple litter rows guarantees confusion—merge habits, not litters.
Admin setup
Youngling and litter operations are app-side; breeds and dens in admin kennel section.
Advanced options
Litter detail, Youngling detail, bulk medical on litter detail.
Troubleshooting
Puppy count mismatch: reconcile youngling rows vs. paper whelping sheet.
