EVERYONE GETS SOMETHING. THE BREED GETS EVERYTHING CONNECTED.
HOUND OS™ gives every person and organisation around the German Shorthaired Pointer a practical reason to participate — while building a connected, traceable picture of the GSP, the bloodline and the breed.
Owners get a lifetime record. Breeders gain trust and better tools. Clubs lose admin. Vets gain qualified clients. Events become easier to run. Experts preserve their knowledge. Every verified record makes the network more useful.

Keep my GSP's life together.
Because a GSP's entire life should not be scattered across WhatsApp, old certificates, emails, vet cards and Facebook.
What's Included (16)
See the Full Breakdown
A GSP's records scatter across owners, breeders, clubs, vets, registration documents and old messages — recoverable by no one, verifiable by no one.
One connected profile under a single GSP-ID — identity, pedigree, health, ownership and field history, added to at your own pace.
Because a GSP's entire life should not be scattered across WhatsApp, old certificates, emails, vet cards and Facebook.
Free Core: free GSP-ID and basic lifetime record. Optional HOUND+: advanced records, health passport, document storage, analytics and enhanced tools. Owners are the foundation of the network — participation stays free where it matters most.

Responsible breeding is hard to demonstrate. Buyers and peers largely have to take a breeder's word for pedigree, health testing and litter history.
A working kennel system — GSP roster, pairings, litters, buyer workflow, pedigree and health testing — that also becomes a public, evidence-backed reputation.
A serious breeder should be able to say: "Don't take my word for it. Scan the record."
Breeder monthly subscription, Breeder Pro, premium kennel tools, litter listings, buyer workflow tools, pairing analysis, sire matching and puppy packs.
Run the kennel. Prove the history.
HOUND OS™ reduces breeder admin and makes responsible breeding easier to demonstrate.
What's Included (19)
Make a 10-year decision with better information.
The goal is not to sell puppies faster. It is to help the right GSP reach the right home.
What's Included (9)
See the Full Breakdown
Buying decisions are usually made from a Facebook post, a WhatsApp message, a breeder claim and a few photographs.
Verified parent records, pedigree and health evidence, and litter information in one place, before a deposit changes hands.
The goal is not to sell puppies faster. It is to help the right GSP reach the right home.
Buyer access stays largely free. HOUND OS™ monetises the services around the transaction rather than hiding responsible information behind a paywall.

A stud GSP is usually evaluated on reputation and word of mouth rather than a verifiable record.
A professional stud profile — pedigree, genetics, health, Natural Ability, field performance, titles and offspring history — in one evidence-backed place.
Serious breeders can evaluate the GSP with evidence rather than reputation alone.
Stud profile upgrades, sire discovery, pairing analysis, breeder subscription and introduction tools.
Turn a proven GSP into a verified breeding profile.
What's Included (12)
Less admin. More time in the field.
Club knowledge should not disappear every time a secretary changes or a spreadsheet gets lost.
What's Included (24)
See the Full Breakdown
Club knowledge should not disappear every time a secretary changes or a spreadsheet gets lost.
One connected system for memberships, events, results and communication, with a permanent, searchable history. It's more than admin — it's how a club actually runs: direct communication with members, member subscriptions, tools to grow membership, training-session bookings, and the club's full protocol, contact numbers, committee and judges list in one place members can reach any time. Clubs can send out a poll or a campaign in a few clicks, and it all connects straight to the club's own social media.
Less admin, cleaner records, and real member value — direct member communication, subscriptions, membership growth, training-session bookings, a full protocol and contacts directory, committee and judges on hand, one-click polls and campaigns, and everything linked to social media.
Monthly club subscription, event management fees, transaction fees, membership payment processing, entry processing, digital certificate tools and digital services.
See the Full Breakdown
Entries repeat information already known elsewhere, and results often end up isolated in a document nobody can find a year later.
One traceable flow from entry to result — eligibility, payment, QR check-in, judging and scoring — that writes straight back to the GSP's own profile.
Events become easier to run and results stop disappearing into isolated documents.
Per-entry technology fee, event-management package, club subscription and event sponsor placement.
From entry to result — one traceable flow.
A verified professional record.
What's Included (8)
See the Full Breakdown
A judging career built over decades usually leaves behind paperwork, not a permanent professional record.
A profile carrying qualifications, eligible classes and a permanent history of events judged and results recorded.
Less paperwork, and a permanent professional history that outlasts any single club or event.
Judges join free. HOUND OS™ monetises the organisation and event around them.

A practice with genuine GSP or field-GSP experience is hard for the right owners to find — and walk-in clients arrive with no history attached.
A searchable, speciality-filtered directory listing, plus owner-authorised access to a GSP's Health Passport. Example: "Bruno requires hip screening" → find a suitable participating vet.
HOUND OS™ can send qualified GSP owners who already need the service.
Verified vet subscription, premium directory profile, booking/referral revenue where appropriate, clinic tools and future integrations.
Better context. Better clients.
What's Included (10)
From sample to GSP record.
No laboratory partnerships are represented here. This illustrates how a future integration could work.

Results often arrive detached from a correctly identified GSP, making them hard to attach to the right pedigree and health record.
A correctly identified GSP, a structured test order, and a clean path for the result to land directly on the verified GSP record.
HOUND OS™ becomes a customer acquisition and result-delivery channel.
Referral commission, testing commission, integration fee, lab subscription and breeder testing packages.
See the Full Breakdown
Fertility testing, semen storage and AI providers are hard to discover at the exact moment a breeder is planning a mating.
Discovery and connection to reproduction services at the point a pairing is being planned, not after.
HOUND OS™ knows when breeders are actively planning matings and can create highly relevant service discovery.
Provider listing, booking/referral, partner packages and breeder service bundles.
Connect breeding intent to the right services.
What's Included (7)

Trainers with genuine field-GSP expertise are hard for the right owner to find at the right stage of a GSP's development.
A professional profile by location and specialty, surfaced to owners at the moment their GSP's record suggests it's relevant.
HOUND OS™ sends owners based on the GSP's age, record, location and next likely need.
Trainer subscription, booking fee, premium listing and HOUND Academy revenue share.
See the Full Breakdown
Decades of breeder, judging and field knowledge usually live in one person's memory — and disappear with them.
A profile, an archive and a teaching platform — articles, videos, masterclasses and bloodline commentary that outlast a WhatsApp group or a printed newsletter.
Their experience remains accessible long after a WhatsApp group, old website or printed newsletter disappears.
Course purchases, premium membership, masterclasses, revenue share and sponsored educational programmes where appropriate.
Preserve the people who built the breed.
What's Included (11)
Keep the GSP's history from disappearing.
Built for SPCA branches, breed-specific GSP rescues and other animal welfare organisations handling GSPs.
What's Included (12)
See the Full Breakdown
A rescued GSP's prior history — health, behaviour, even identity — is often unknown, making placement and follow-up harder than it should be.
Structured case management: surrender through foster, home checks, adoption, contracts and ownership change, with the GSP's identity preserved throughout.
Better case management and preservation of a GSP's history, even across multiple homes.
Rescue is not a profit centre — participation is free or heavily subsidised. In return, HOUND OS™ gains welfare insight, lifecycle completeness, credibility and ownership history.

A digital identity is only as useful as the physical product that carries it into the real world.
The GSP-ID does not replace the microchip — it connects to it, and creates ongoing demand for the physical products that carry it: tags, cards and passports.
HOUND OS™ creates recurring demand for identification products, tied to every new registration.
Physical HOUND tags, replacement tags, premium engraved tags, partner products and activation bundles.
Digital ID meets physical identity.
What's Included (5)
Reach a real working-GSP community.
What's Included (11)
No brand partnerships are represented — the examples below are illustrative sponsorship formats only.
See the Full Breakdown
Field and GSP-equipment brands struggle to reach a genuinely specific working-GSP audience without generic ad spend.
Not owner data — controlled access to a highly specific field-GSP audience, for example: "Field Training Week — supported by Brand X," "Breed Health Month — supported by Partner Y," "National Field Calendar — supported by Partner Z."
Not because HOUND OS™ sells owner data. Because HOUND OS™ can offer controlled access to a highly specific field-GSP audience.
Sponsorship, campaigns, placements, event partnerships and category partnerships.

Every new puppy can enter the network from day one.
Breeders purchase wholesale, or include the pack in the puppy price. The commercial effect: POINTSTEAD™ margin, immediate HOUND OS™ registration, breeder value and puppy-owner acquisition — in one motion.
Clubs can offer premium merchandise without holding stock. HOUND OS™ already knows members, event, size and attendance — POINTSTEAD™ handles design, the online store, order capture, production and fulfilment, with a possible club revenue share.
Before: pre-order merchandise. At the event: field gear and event product. After: winner and commemorative drops — e.g. Transvaal Field Trial 2026, Natural Ability Series, Maiden Winner. POINTSTEAD™ turns real community activity into commerce.
POINTSTEAD™ designs and manufactures its own clothing and gear. Clubs and individual members can have their own logo and name printed on POINTSTEAD™-made pieces — a club kit, a personal field jacket, a committee polo — production stays in-house, branding is yours.
POINTSTEAD™ isn't closed to outside sellers. Businesses that sell GSP gear can sell through POINTSTEAD™ if they qualify — reaching the HOUND OS™ network through one storefront instead of building their own.
The more complete the record, the better the decision.
Every stakeholder above feeds the same underlying picture — deeper pedigrees, lineage visibility, genetic and health evidence, progeny and field performance, breeder history, population structure, pedigree diversity and bloodline concentration.

The people who know the breed should help shape the system.
HOUND OS™ should invite respected breeders, judges, handlers, veterinarians, genetic experts, club leaders and historians to shape terminology, data standards, verification logic, field records, archive priorities, educational content and responsible breeding tools.
Everyone enters for their own reason.
Everyone makes the network stronger.
