Overview
PedigreX is a cross-species, professional-grade web app for managing animals, breeding, genetics, pedigree, competitions, and offspring. It provides a single system of record that works across species, registries, and borders. Use any device, any browser—no installs, no app store.
Below is a detailed breakdown of the features currently available and those planned for future development.
Your privacy matters. Human personal information stays within your account and is never shared outside of your own app access. The pedigree database contains only animal information—no owner names, addresses, or contact details. Your data remains yours: we don't trade it, sell it, or share it with third parties.
Features are subject to change during production.
✅ What's Currently Live
PedigreX features a comprehensive dashboard designed for quick access and at-a-glance information.
- •Tab-based navigation (Home, Animals, Breeding, Competitions, Genetics, Settings, Pedigree)

🛣️ What's Planned
Future dashboard enhancements will continue to improve usability and provide more insights at a glance.
✅ What's Currently Live
Comprehensive animal management with species-first workflow and advanced registration capabilities.
- •Species-first animal entry workflow - Species selection is the first step in animal creation
- •Multiple photo uploads (Front View, Side View) stored in MinIO with client-side compression
- •Species and breed selection with autocomplete (400+ breeds from VBO database)
- •VBO (Vertebrate Breed Ontology) integration
- •Multiple registry support (add multiple registries per animal - AKC, CKC, TICA, CFA, AQHA, etc.)
- •Detailed physical description (color, markings, coat, eyes, coat length) based on species and breed
- •Sex and altered status tracking with color-coded UI
- •Age calculation from birth date, deceased status tracking
- •Weight and height with unit selection, microchip and tattoo tracking
- •Animal list view with grid layout and animal detail pages
- •Registration Management + OCR - Upload paper registration documents with OCR extraction into structured, searchable fields
- •Parent pedigree linking (does not auto-create parent animals from OCR data)
PedigreX is built for both professional and hobbyist breeders and competitors who understand that comprehensive animal records matter. We know that tracking animals—even after they've passed—can be crucial for future breeding decisions and pedigree analysis.
Animals remain in your database after death by default, but you always have the choice to delete them permanently if you prefer. However, even if you delete an animal from your personal records, they'll remain in the shared pedigree database for tracking purposes—ensuring lineage information stays intact for the breeding community.
🛣️ What's Planned
- •Enhanced pedigree views and calculations
- •Expanded OCR support for foreign registries
- •Support for additional document types (genetic test reports, transfer documents, receipts)
✅ What's Currently Live
PedigreX provides a centralized, status-driven breeding system designed to give breeders immediate clarity and long-term insight.

- •Per-animal cycle length configuration with automatic date calculations
- •Last and upcoming cycle predictions
- •Separate birth records with litter or birth size and offspring survival tracking

- •Breeding metrics including total breedings, litters, offspring count, and key dates
- •Species-aware gestation calculations

- •Real-time COI display for existing animals
- •Pedigree visualization with COI indicators and common ancestor highlighting
- •COI warnings and thresholds (e.g., >6.25% = high risk)
- •Test breeding simulation integration for hypothetical COI calculations
✅ What's Currently Live
