The large pedigree software programs found on the web store your pedigrees on their server and let you copy and paste html code into your site but you still need a knowledge of html or a way to insert html into your pages. On top of that they don’t offer style options to match your site and usually charge a fee for the pedigree software but you still have to pay for and design your website separately.
APM makes it easy easy to display your animals on your site with your own database. It doesn’t matter what kind of animal you have. Whether you own dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, goats or any other type of animal, APM can work for you. Our goal is to give you control over your own database, animals and pedigrees. The rest of your site is run by WordPress, the most popular and powerful CMS on the web.
You can do it all online
Animal management has evolved. It’s not only about keeping your animal’s records in your home any more. Many pedigree researchers these days rely only on what they can find online and if you aren’t out there on the web your animals and breeding program won’t be seen. Once upon a time magazine ads were the only way to advertise your champions to breeders and prospective judges but now a web presence and having your animals, their pedigrees and your breeding philosophy online for research purposes is a must to give your animals and your breeding program an edge in a competitive world.
APM gives you that edge and so much more. We know and love dogs, and are breeders and exhibitors ourselves. We personally feel that these wonderful animals are not only show dogs but also our best friends, and we want to be able to share every aspect of their lives and how they impact your own. Each animal entered into your site’s admin panel is given its own page, its own photo gallery and its own photo pedigree. All you have to do is chose the category you want the dog to appear in (champions, at stud, girls, boys, our champions, etc…) and then choose that dog’s sire and dam from your database and the apm plugin does it all for you. Additionally adding new titles to a dog is quick and easy. Just edit the dog and enter the new title in the boxes shown in your admin panel. So Easy!.
Your Animal’s Photo Pedigrees
The photo pedigrees are the part of APM that we love the most. The pedigree script has been rewritten to be faster, cleaner and now gives the option to choose the number of generations you display. The APM application gives you options in admin to display as little or as much information as you wish in your pedigrees. Many breeders want to show colors and marking, registration numbers, birth dates and breeder or kennel names. All of these are possible with APM. Also, animals in the pedigrees who also appear in your site will be linked to their pages.
