It's 2026. Why is researching a dog breeder this hard?

Most dog breeder research still happens through Facebook, word of mouth, and luck. We're building something different: free, searchable USDA and (coming soon) state inspection reports, all scannable at a glance. The dog community deserves the same kind of transparency like every other consumer space already has. Help us build it.
