Samples

Sample puppy go home packets you can open

Three finished packets, as PDFs, free to download and print. Each one is a complete go-home packet for one puppy — cover, profile, pedigree, growth chart, health and vaccination record, microchip page, socialization log, feeding plan and the breeder’s letter — printed from a made-up litter by the same generator that would print yours.

They are the output, not pictures of it. Open one, print a page, hold it next to whatever you sent home with your last litter, and then decide.

No account, no email address, nothing to install. The editor is free to build and preview in; $29 a litter takes the SAMPLE watermark off your own exports, and $99 a year covers a kennel. See what paying changes.

Three example packets: US Letter, A4, and a show kennel’s

One per typeface, and one per shape of kennel. They are different litters on purpose — the same layout has to look right for an American hobby breeder, a British gundog kennel working in kilograms, and a show kennel whose whole trade is presentation.

The cover of a finished puppy go home packet, set in a warm serif: the kennel name across the top, a large photograph of the puppy, her name below it, and the date she was whelped.

Classic type

Ardmore Kennels · a puppy called Juniper · EB Garamond and Lato

The ordinary case: an American litter of eight, US Letter, pounds and ounces, every optional section printed.

The cover of a puppy pack from a British gundog kennel, set in a plain sans-serif: the kennel name across the top, a large photograph of the puppy, her name below it, and the date she was whelped in day-month-year order.

Modern type

Fernhill Gundogs · a puppy called Otter · Archivo and Source Sans

The same packet built for a British kennel: A4, kilograms and grams, day/month/year, hip and elbow scores in the format the UK records them.

  • A4

The cover of a show kennel’s puppy packet, set in a high-contrast serif: the kennel name across the top, a large photograph of the puppy, her name below it, and the date she was whelped.

Storybook type

Marchwood · a puppy called Clementine · Playfair Display and Lora

The show-kennel voice: a four-generation pedigree, a long letter to the new family, and the most formal of the three typefaces.

  • A4
  • Kilograms and grams
  • Day/month/year
  • Four-generation pedigree

Open this one if presentation is your trade and the letter matters as much as the records.

Make this one with your dogs in it

Free, and no account. You can build the whole litter and preview every page before you decide it is worth paying for.

What is inside each sample packet

The same 10 sections, in the same order, in all three. Open any of the files above and you are looking at a dog pedigree chart, a puppy weight chart plotted from real weigh-ins, a puppy vaccination record with blank rows for the vet to carry on in, the microchip paperwork with its cut-out wallet card, and a socialization record of what the puppy has already met.

An optional section switches off when there is nothing to put in it, so the packets above are not all the same length. What comes out is one PDF per puppy and one zip for the litter, plus your own litter record — the archive copy of everything you sent out.

What free looks like

The same packet, exported without a pass

This is the first packet again, exported the way it comes out before anybody pays: identical pages, identical words, identical photographs, with a diagonal SAMPLE across each one. Nothing is withheld and no page is missing — a pass takes the stamp off, and reads the rest of that litter’s photographed paperwork after the first three pages.

These are made-up litters, and everything else about them is real

The kennels, the people, the dogs, the registration numbers and the microchip numbers are all invented for the demonstration — the chip numbers are plausible fakes that belong to no animal, and no registry name or logo appears anywhere in the files, because the pedigree page is headed “as recorded by the breeder” and is not a registration document.

Everything else is exactly what you would get. The files were produced by the same code that runs in your browser, from a litter entered the same way you would enter yours, and they are regenerated whenever the generator changes. Your own litter never travels to make one: it stays in your browser on your own computer, which the privacy page sets out in full.

If you are weighing this against a fillable puppy packet template, that comparison is the one worth reading next — and if you are still deciding what belongs in the packet at all, start with what to put in a puppy go home packet.

About these samples

Can I download a sample puppy go home packet for free?
Yes. The three packets on this page are complete PDFs, free to download, print and read with no account and no email address. They are made-up litters from made-up kennels, and they are the real output of the generator rather than pictures of it — the same files a breeder gets when they export their own litter.
Are these editable templates I can type into?
No, and that is the difference between this and a template. These are finished documents, printed from a litter somebody entered. You do not fill these in — you enter your own litter in the editor, which is free, and it prints the same pages with your kennel, your dogs, your weights and your photographs on them. Nothing here is a fillable form.
Why does one of the files have SAMPLE printed across every page?
That is exactly what a free export looks like, shown rather than described. It is the same document as the clean one beside it — same pages, same words, same photographs — with a diagonal SAMPLE across each page. A litter pass at $29 takes it off for that litter and every puppy in it.
Are the dogs, kennels and microchip numbers in these packets real?
No. Every kennel, person, dog, registration number and microchip number in these files is invented for the demonstration, and the microchip numbers are deliberately plausible fakes that belong to no animal. The pedigree pages are headed "as recorded by the breeder" and carry no registry name or logo, because that is what the real page does.
How many pages is a puppy go home packet?
These three run to 11, 11, 12 pages for one puppy, from 10 sections. The length follows what you entered rather than a fixed template: a litter with four generations of pedigree, a long letter and eight weeks of weights prints more pages than one with three generations and no letter, and an optional section with nothing in it does not print at all.

Now put your own kennel on the cover

Enter the litter once — sire, dam, pedigree, weights, vaccinations, microchips — and every puppy gets its own packet like the ones above. You will be looking at a real page with your own dog’s name on it a couple of minutes from now, for nothing.
