Breeds is not in the sidebar. Open it from the links on this page, or search for Breeds in the Quick Command Centre (Cmd+K on a Mac, Ctrl+K on Windows). An owner or admin can use it. A service performer sees it read-only. A service supporter cannot open it.
Find a breed
Search the list to check how Petboost spells a breed before you set a rule on it, or to settle what a breed is called on a form.
Open Breeds.
Type into Search breeds by name....
The count above the grid shows how many breeds matched. Each card shows the breed's photo, its name and the animal type it belongs to. If nothing matches, the page shows No breeds found matching your search.
Build a quick list
Build a quick list when a rule covers more than a handful of breeds.
Open Breeds.
Select a breed card to add it. The card turns blue and a tick replaces the plus, and the Quick List panel opens.
Keep selecting until you have every breed you want.
Select Copy IDs.
The panel shows each breed you picked with its identifier underneath, and Quick List carries the count. Clear empties the list. Selecting a card a second time removes just that one. Quick List opens and closes the panel.
Paste the list into a breed field
Breed fields that take several breeds accept a pasted list. Paste what you copied and the field turns each identifier into the named breed. This example uses a service's Who Can Book tab.
Open Services, select Manage on the service, then Manage Service.
Open Who Can Book. If Advanced options is off, switch it on.
Under Animal Type, Age and Breeds, select Edit Breeds beside Included Breeds or Excluded Breeds.
Select the breed field and paste the copied list.
Select Stage Changes.
Select Publish Changes, tick the box in Before You Publish, then select Publish Changes.
The field accepts identifiers separated by commas, semicolons, line breaks or tabs, so a paste out of a spreadsheet column works as it stands. Identifiers already in the field are skipped. The same paste works in the other multi-select breed fields, such as a course template's Who Can Book tab and a session's Which pets can book.
When to use this
Use the quick list when a rule covers more than a handful of breeds and typing them one at a time is the slow part of the job. Restricting a service to a long list of small breeds is the usual case, or excluding a list of breeds your insurance does not cover.
For two or three breeds, skip this page and pick them straight from the field.
