BRIE — Breed Recognition
Intelligence Engine

A research and strategy tool for breeders, breed clubs, and conservationists who want an honest, data-grounded picture of where a breed population stands — and what it would take to reach formal recognition if that is ever the goal.

What BRIE does

OpenStudbook does not push breeds toward recognition. Whether a breed becomes FCI-listed or stays a living community tradition is entirely the choice of the people who keep it. BRIE exists because the research and administrative groundwork for recognition is genuinely hard — it involves population genetics, legal compliance across multiple frameworks, document drafting, and years of sustained data collection. If a breed club is moving in that direction, BRIE can compress what would take months of research into a single, cited report.

BRIE reads the live OpenStudbook registry for the breed you name, computes a Recognition Readiness Index (RRI) across 11 dimensions, identifies which bloodlines qualify as independent families under the relevant framework, flags critical gaps, and generates a 1/3/5/10-year roadmap. It also produces the prompts needed to draft mandatory documents — not the documents themselves, which must come from the breed community with real evidence.
