Hey guys, looking for better ideas. How do you divide your kennels?

From top to bottom:

Sessioning
Finishing
GCh
GCh Wannabe
Bronze Dam
Brood Bitches
Show Dogs
Show Bitches
Pregnant Broods
Studs
For Sale
Fillers
Veterans.

Most of the time I try to keep them in their birth groups as it is an easy reference to their sire and dam. If I have multiple breeds I will sometimes divide them by breed and/or gender. I'm flexible!

Show
Session Pups
Breed
Sell
Retire
If I have a color project going I will have sections for that as well. But I keep it relatively simple.

I initially was trying to bring back lost colors in the Mudi, so I started separating by color. I still do that because I don't want to get trapped into only having fawns and dilutes again. If those colors start to get too numerous in my kennel, I know that's where I FH first (even if slightly higher SOP). It's too hard to bring back dominate colors to risk losing them again.

From top to bottom:

1. Showing - Specializing
2. Showing - Finishing
3. Sessioning - Adults
4. Sessioning - Puppies
5. Broods Bitches - Adults
6. Brood Bitches - Future
7. Studs
9. Selling - FH
10 and on are for small projects like source breeding or color breeding. But at the moment I’m not doing that in this kennels but am in others. I’m very ocd about my kennel runs, and need them to be specific.
