One is the breeding itself: cycles, progesterone, matings, whelping and puppies. The other is the business: waitlists, applications, contracts and payments. Littero focuses on the first; Good Dog for Breeders on the second; Breedera covers both. ## Whelping dates should be ranges A due date from a breeding date alone can be anywhere from 58 to 72 days later, because conception can happen days after mating. From an ovulation date timed with progesterone, the window narrows to about 62 to 64 days. An app that shows a single date hides that uncertainty; our free dog due date calculator shows the window. ## Check the privacy label Kennel records hold your dogs’ health history and often your buyers’ details. The App Store privacy label shows what each app collects and whether any data is used to track you. Littero keeps records on your iPhone with no Lucernel account.
