Kennel Press is website building and hosting for animal breeders. This page states the plain facts: what the product is, who is behind it, what it is not, how the plans work and how to reach us.

## Kennel Press in plain facts.

Each answer stands on its own, so it can be read or quoted without the rest of the page.

### What is Kennel Press?

Kennel Press is website building and hosting for animal breeders. A breeder picks a template, adds their animals and story, and publishes a website on an address Kennel Press hosts or, on Pro, on their own domain. Dogs were the first species it supported, and the platform is species-neutral: each species is a registered set of words and page types, not a separate product.

### Who runs Kennel Press?

Kennel Press is operated by Built By Dusty, the studio that owns it. It was created by Dusty Mumphrey, a breeder and senior software engineer.

### How do the Kennel Press plans work?

There is a Free plan that stays online with no trial clock, with 4 templates. The paid plan, Pro, is $39 a month and opens all 8 templates, and your own domain comes with Pro. Every limit is listed side by side on the pricing page, and any introductory offer is shown there while it is open.

### Where are websites hosted, and where is my data kept?

Websites are served from Kennel Press’s hosting provider and edge network, and account data and photos are stored with the database and file-storage providers named in the Privacy Policy, which lists every provider and what each receives. Kennel Press is based in the United States, and its providers process data there and in other countries where they operate.

### What does Kennel Press commit to?

Your content is yours. Export it or leave at any time. We never write, invent or embellish your health results, titles or pedigrees. Your site stays online on the free plan. No trial that expires into a dead link. No ads, ever, on your site or ours.

### How do I contact Kennel Press?

Use the contact form on the support page, or write to support@kennelpress.com. A concern about a breeder’s website goes through the report page.


## What Kennel Press is not.

Things people sometimes assume, stated directly.

### Is Kennel Press kennel management software?

Kennel Press is not kennel management software: it publishes a breeder’s public website and does not manage breeding, genetics, contracts, deposits or waitlists.

### Is Kennel Press a marketplace or a directory of animals for sale?

Kennel Press is not a marketplace or a directory of animals for sale. Each breeder’s website has its own address, and Kennel Press does not list, sell or broker animals.

### Is Kennel Press affiliated with other products named Kennel Press?

Kennel Press is not affiliated with other products or companies named Kennel Press.
