Parents
The Parents block is designed to showcase the sire and dam for a breeding. It displays each parent’s photo, pedigree name, and an optional link to their profile page if published.
You can also add an optional headline, content, and a call-to-action button. This block is especially useful for advertising upcoming breedings or highlighting the parents of a current litter.
Example uses
- Upcoming litters
- Meet the parents section
- Stud services
If you're not sure how to add a Parents block to your page, start with the Managing Building Blocks guide. It covers how to create a new block or add an existing one from your collection, as well as how to reorder and remove blocks within a page.

Background
Select the background for this block.
Name
An internal name for your reference only. This will not be published on the website.
Headline
An optional title that appears above the parents (e.g. Upcoming Litter, Meet the Parents).
Content
Rich text that appears below the headline. Use this to introduce the breeding or add extra context.
Call to Action
Choose an optional call-to-action button. You can link it to a Page, Individual, Article, or Breeding.
Type
Choose how the block is displayed:
- Large – Shows the headline, content, and call-to-action first, then places the parent images side by side in a larger format. This looks great for impact, but images may be cropped depending on their dimensions.
- Small – Displays the parent images side by side at their original aspect ratios, ensuring the full photo is shown. Headline, content, and CTA appear between the images in a more compact layout.
