Co-owners

Video walkthrough: Watch on Loom (link coming soon)
Co-owners lets you share full access to a specific dog’s record with another breeder. They get to see and edit everything for that dog — pedigree, health, breeding notes, photos — but only for the dogs you invite them on. It’s built for joint breeding partnerships where two kennels share a sire, a dam, or another co-owned dog.

​
What You Can Do Here

  • Invite another breeder by email to co-own a specific dog
  • See invitations you’ve sent or received, and their status
  • Accept or decline invitations from other breeders
  • See every dog you’re co-managing and who owns it
  • Revoke a pending invitation before it’s accepted
  • Share your referral link so you and other breeders save $5/month

​
How It Works

​
Inviting a Co-owner

You can start an invitation from two places. From a dog’s profile:
  1. Open the dog you want to share from Dogs in the left menu.
  2. Click the share icon near the top of the profile (it says Share options when you hover over it).
  3. Choose Invite co-owner. The Invite Co-Owner window opens.
  4. Enter the Owner Email and, if you like, the Kennel / Organization Name.
  5. Click Send Invite. You’ll see a confirmation that the invite was sent.
From the Co-owners page:
  1. Open Settings → Co-owners (under the Team group).
  2. Click Share a dog. The Invite Co-Owner window opens.
  3. Pick the dog under Dog.
  4. Enter the Owner Email and, optionally, the Kennel / Organization Name.
  5. Click Send Invite. The invite appears under Co-owner invites you’ve sent.
The other breeder gets an email invitation. Once they accept, they have full edit access to that dog. If they’re new to BreederBuddy, sign up from that email, and start a paid plan, you each save $5/month (you can earn it for up to 6 breeders).

​
Accepting an Invitation

When another breeder invites you:
  1. Open Settings → Co-owners.
  2. Find the invite under Co-owner invites you’ve received.
  3. Click Accept to add the dog to your account, or Decline to pass.
Accepted dogs show under Dogs you’re co-managing, with the owner’s name and the date you started.

​
Revoking a Pending Invite

If you’ve sent an invite and want to cancel it before it’s accepted:
  1. Find it under Co-owner invites you’ve sent.
  2. Click the trash icon (Revoke invite) next to it.
  3. Click Revoke to confirm.
At the bottom of the Co-owners page is Your referral link. Click Copy invite link and share it. When a new breeder signs up through it and starts a paid plan, you each save $5/month for as long as they stay subscribed. You can earn the discount for up to 6 breeders.

Tips & Common Questions

No. Co-owners share a single dog. To give a partner, family member, or helper their own login to your whole account, invite them as a team member from Settings → User Administration. To make them a second owner with full control, choose Admin next to their name once they’ve joined. See Account Settings.
Full access to the shared dog — profile, health certs, pedigree, breeding notes, photos, finances, the works. They can also edit anything. Co-ownership is all-or-nothing per dog.
Yes — send a separate invite for each dog. The other breeder can accept or decline each one independently.
No — co-owners are other breeders with shared editing access to a dog. Buyers and guardians are handled through their own contact types and the Buyer Portal.
Pending invites can be revoked from Settings → Co-owners. To end an active co-ownership, reach out through the chat in the bottom right — we’ll help you remove the relationship cleanly.
Co-owners lives in Settings, under the Team group. You can also reach it from a co-owned dog’s share menu with Manage co-owners.
