From hobby breed clubs to AKC.

Tamper-proof credentials for dog registries, breed clubs, and health-testing bodies. Every paper. Every test. Every title.

Built for the credentials dogs actually carry

Registration is the start, not the end.

A serious breeder accumulates a stack of paper for every dog they place — registration, OFA clearances, CHIC, DNA, titles. Today those papers are loose, photocopiable, and individually unverifiable. chainBreed binds them to a single scannable identity, etched by the authorities that already certify them.

Kennel club registration

AKC, UKC, CKC, FCI member-body registrations. Registration number, breed, sire, dam, and date of birth anchored on-chain alongside the issuing club's address.

OFA health evaluations

Hip, elbow, cardiac, thyroid, patella, and eye (CAER) clearances. Each evaluation links to the reporting veterinarian and the OFA database entry.

PennHIP and other orthopedic

PennHIP distraction index scores, BVA hip scores, and breed-specific orthopedic panels — recorded with the lab, the technician, and the date.

CHIC numbers

Canine Health Information Center numbers etched when a dog completes the breed-specific test panel. The CHIC etching is itself a chainBreed credential.

DNA parentage

Embark, Wisdom Panel, and AKC DNA Profile parentage verifications. Lab, marker count, and result hashed and timestamped.

Titles and working achievements

Conformation championships, obedience and rally titles, working tests (IGP, herding, hunt, agility, dock-diving). Etched by the sanctioning organization, verified by the buyer.

Use cases

Where verification changes the outcome.

Stop puppy-mill paperwork fraud

Buyers paying $3,000–$8,000 for a Frenchie, Doodle, or working-line pup have no on-the-spot way to verify that the AKC papers in the folder are real. A chainBreed QR on the pup-pack lets them check the registration, the parents, and the OFA clearances before they hand over a cashier's check.

Protect working-dog lineage

Working bloodlines — herding, protection, hunt, schutzhund — depend on a verifiable thread of titles and tests. chainBreed lets a club anchor every championship, every certification, and every health clearance to one navigable pedigree graph.

Health-clearance accountability

OFA, PennHIP, and CHIC numbers carry weight only because the buyer trusts they were earned. On-chain anchoring makes that trust verifiable — and makes attempts to launder a failed clearance into a passed one immediately visible.

Common fraud patterns

The patterns are well-known. The defense should be too.

Canine credential fraud follows a small number of well-worn paths. Each one targets paperwork that a paper system cannot independently verify at the point of sale.

Photocopied AKC papers

Most common at private sales of high-demand breeds. A real registration, copied and re-attached to a different litter.

Cross-applied health tests

An OFA evaluation from one dog presented as belonging to another. The result was real; the assignment wasn't.

Champion-line claims with no anchor

Champion sire or dam claims that don't resolve to a verifiable credential. The seller's word is the only evidence.
