Don't Discover Missing Records During Your AKC Inspection
SmartPupPro reviews connected dog, litter, ownership, identification, and placement information, identifies incomplete details, and helps you go directly to the underlying record that needs correction before inspection day.
Unlike paper folders, spreadsheets, or systems that only store records, SmartPupPro reviews connected kennel information and helps you find and correct missing details while there is still time.
What should I review?
Know where dogs came from and who owns them.
Keep breeding and litter history complete.
Review microchip, tattoo, tag, and related details.
Know where puppies and dogs went after leaving.
Prepare organized records for inspection review.
Prepare the records before you need to present them.
Turn the information you maintain during everyday kennel management into a clear inspection-preparation workflow instead of a last-minute records project.
Having records isn't the same as being inspection-ready.
A record can exist and still be missing a detail needed to tell the complete story. SmartPupPro checks the easy-to-overlook information across the records you already maintain.
A breeding may exist
But is the sire owner recorded?
A dog may be in the system
But is its required identification complete?
A puppy may be marked sold
But is the transfer and placement information complete?
A litter may be recorded
But are all mating dates available?
Find what needs attention before inspection day.
SmartPupPro reviews your connected kennel records and surfaces incomplete information in one inspection-readiness checklist, so you know which records need attention before you prepare documents.
Don't just find a problem. Go directly to where it can be corrected.
Each missing-information item can take you to the dog, puppy, litter, owner, or placement record that owns the information. Correct it once, then return to the inspection checklist to review your readiness again.

Follow the link to the record that needs correction.
Update the same information used throughout SmartPupPro.
Confirm the readiness issue has been resolved.
Could you answer these right now?
SmartPupPro helps organize and review this information before inspection day, while keeping it connected to your normal kennel management.
Be able to trace the ownership history of each dog.
Ownership records help document how a dog became part of your kennel and what happened when ownership later changed. SmartPupPro keeps that information connected to the dog's permanent record.
Keep the story of every litter together.
Connected litter records should make it possible to understand the breeding, identify the sire and dam, review mating information, and see the puppies produced from that litter.
Know which animals should appear in your kennel records.
SmartPupPro can generate a kennel roster using the dogs and puppies already maintained in your account, helping you review the animals associated with the kennel before printing.
Keep identification attached to the animal record.
Identification is easier to review when the method and identifying value are stored directly with the dog or puppy instead of in a separate spreadsheet.
Microchip
Store the microchip identification value with the permanent animal record.
Tattoo
Record tattoo identification when that method is used.
Tag
Record tag identification and keep the identification method clear.
Needs Review
Surface animals whose identification information still needs attention.
Your records do not stop when the puppy goes home.
Sold, transferred, or placed animals may still be part of the historical records needed to understand your kennel activity. SmartPupPro preserves that history through connected go-home and placement records instead of removing the animal from view when it leaves.
Birth and litter information recorded.
Buyer and placement information connected.
Ownership and status information updated.
Go-home date and new-owner history preserved.
The record remains available for future reference.
Review first. Print when you are ready.
Once you have reviewed what is missing, SmartPupPro can turn the same kennel records into organized ownership, litter, and kennel documents you can prepare for inspection review.
Do the recordkeeping while you are doing the breeding.
The easiest time to record where a dog came from is when the dog arrives. The easiest time to document a breeding is when it happens. The easiest time to record a buyer is when the puppy is placed.
SmartPupPro helps those everyday records become the foundation for inspection preparation—and helps reveal missing details before they become an inspection-day surprise.
“Inspection readiness should be the result of good records — not a separate project.”

AKC Kennel Inspection FAQ
Common questions about preparing breeder records for an AKC inspection.

Can SmartPupPro help me find missing AKC inspection information?
Yes. SmartPupPro's AKC inspection readiness tools can flag incomplete information and provide links to the underlying records that need attention.
Does SmartPupPro create AKC litter records?
SmartPupPro can use litter, sire, dam, breeding, puppy, and related information already stored in the system to generate organized litter records.
Can I create an ownership record for each dog?
Yes. SmartPupPro keeps acquisition, ownership, identification, transfer, and disposition information connected to individual animal records and can use that information for inspection-related ownership reports.
What about puppies that have already been sold or gone home?
SmartPupPro preserves historical placement and ownership information so puppies and dogs do not disappear from your record history simply because they are no longer physically at the kennel.
