Why it matters
- The free plan counts litters, not dogs, puppies, or families.
- The count goes by the day you create the litter, so you can plan around it.
- Nothing you have recorded is ever locked or removed.
How BreedTracker counts litters
The free plan allows four litters per calendar year. A litter counts on the day you create it in BreedTracker, whatever its whelp date. Deleting a litter restores its place in the allowance. The litter count resets on January 1.

Check your remaining litter allowance
At three litters the dashboard shows Only 1 litter remaining. On the Billing page the bar under Litters this calendar year turns amber.

What happens at four litters
- Select Add litter on the Litters page.
- Litter limit reached tells you the date the count resets, with Maybe later and Upgrade now.

Every litter you already have stays open, and the count resets on January 1.
