Kinbred
Welfare charter
Every request, acceptance and signature on Kinbred is checked against these rules. When a rule applies, you see exactly which one and how it can be resolved.
Inbreeding
- COI below 6.25%: OK.
- 6.25% to under 12.5%: a caution is shown to both owners.
- 12.5% and above: paid bookings are blocked unless the ethics board approves a written exception.
Pairings that are never booked
- Merle × merle, fold × fold and lethal white overo × lethal white overo.
- Carrier × carrier for specified lethal recessive conditions.
- Different species or breeds, or two animals of the same sex.
Protecting the dam
- Minimum age 24 months (mares 3 years); normally no older than 8 without a specialist opinion.
- One litter per 12 months, four in a lifetime, no back-to-back cycles.
- No more than two lifetime C-sections.
Health gate
- Dogs: brucellosis (female within 30 days, stud within 6 months), registry numbers, OFA/CHIC, clinic-logged progesterone timing.
- Horses: Coggins within 12 months, mare culture within 30 days for live cover, stallion EVA/CEM status.
- Nothing is scheduled until both sides pass. An expired document pauses scheduling.
What Kinbred is not
- Kinbred does not sell puppies, kittens or foals or take a cut of animal sales.
- Kinbred is not a registry, veterinarian, law firm, bank or escrow and gives no breeding-timing advice.
- Badges describe what was checked and when — never a guarantee.
