Database Migration + +**File:** `server/db/migrate_litter_id.js` + +Adds a `litter_id` column to the `dogs` table to link puppies to their litters: + +```sql +ALTER TABLE dogs ADD COLUMN litter_id INTEGER; +CREATE INDEX idx_dogs_litter ON dogs(litter_id); +``` + +To run the migration: +```bash +node server/db/migrate_litter_id.js +``` + +### 2. Enhanced Litter API + +**File:** `server/routes/litters.js` + +New endpoints: +- `POST /api/litters/:id/puppies/:puppyId` - Link puppy to litter +- `DELETE /api/litters/:id/puppies/:puppyId` - Remove puppy from litter +- Enhanced `GET /api/litters` - Returns litters with puppy counts + +Auto-linking logic: +- When a puppy is linked to a litter, sire/dam relationships are automatically created in the `parents` table +- Prevents orphaned data when litters are deleted + +### 3. Updated DogForm Component + +**File:** `client/src/components/DogForm.jsx` + +Key Features: +- **Dual Parent Selection Mode:** + - Option 1: Link to existing litter (auto-populates parents) + - Option 2: Manual parent selection (traditional method) +- Radio button toggle for selection mode +- Litter dropdown shows "Sire x Dam - Date" format +- Automatic breed inheritance from litter parents + +### 4. New LitterForm Component + +**File:** `client/src/components/LitterForm.jsx` + +Features: +- Create/edit litter records +- Select sire and dam from dropdown lists +- Track breeding date, whelping date, expected puppy count +- Notes field for breeding details +- Validation: ensures sire is male, dam is female + +### 5. Interactive Pedigree Visualization + +**Files:** +- `client/src/components/PedigreeView.jsx` +- `client/src/components/PedigreeView.css` + +**Features:** +- **Beautiful Tree Visualization:** + - Horizontal tree layout (left to right) + - Color-coded nodes: Blue for males, Pink for females + - Shows 5 generations by default + +- **Interactive Controls:** + - Zoom in/out buttons + - Reset view button + - Mouse wheel zoom support + - Click and drag to pan + - Click nodes for details + +- **Node Information:** + - Dog name (primary) + - Registration number + - Birth year + - Sex indicator (♂/♀) + +- **Uses COI Calculator Backend:** + - Leverages existing `/api/pedigree/:id` endpoint + - Recursive ancestor tree building + - Supports configurable generation depth + +## Usage + +### Adding a Puppy from a Litter + +1.
