 * Hello,
 * I have to create animal profiles but I don’t know how to design my pods.
 * Something like “specie” should be a category or a relation to a specie pod ?
   
   Same for breed if it’s a dog. Category or relation to another pod ?
 * Categories can have fields. What should be put in theses fields ?
 * On my profile I need the following infos :
    * name (post title ?) * specie (category/
   relation ?) * breed (category/relation ?) * age (text) * gender (category/) *
   multiple pictures * description (post content ?)

 * Check out the following Video on our Plan Before You Build. It goes into pretty
   good detail the differences between Taxonomy (Category) and Relationship fields.

 * Common point to remember: If you need to filter by this content (preferably on
   a faceted search like FacetWP), you want to use Taxonomy.
 * If you haven’t seen it, we also recommend the Grow Beyond Posts & Pages Video:

 * No problem, once you watch those, if you have more specific questions, I’m very
   happy to help, but giving full out structure advice is outside the scope of our
   support.
