How TellTail Connects Certified Breeders with Puppy Buyer Leads
Navigating the world of online pet marketplaces can be overwhelming for potential buyers.
Unlike traditional marketplace platforms that act as virtual pet stores, TellTail offers a unique, algorithm-powered service that directly connects buyers with Certified Breeders.
This article digs into the advantages of this innovative approach, emphasizing why breeders, as experts, are best suited to match puppies with their forever homes.
Why choose a TellTail membership?
Traditional online pet marketplaces often inundate buyers with countless cute puppy options, making it difficult to focus on the unique qualities of each breeder and their program.
TellTail takes a different route, offering a more personalized, tailored experience. When buyers are matched with a breeder through TellTail, they can be confident that they're engaging with a legitimate, certified expert in the field. This not only elevates the pet adoption experience but also fosters meaningful relationships between buyers and breeders.
The focus shifts from mere transactions to a more holistic approach that prioritizes responsible breeding, informed choices, and the well-being of both the puppies and their future families.

How does the matching process work for buyers?
Currently, TellTail offers its matching service to buyers at no cost. Buyers specify their preferences, such as breed, adult size, desired go-home date, location, and budget.
TellTail's sophisticated algorithm then identifies up to five Certified Breeders who meet these criteria. Limiting the number of matches helps buyers engage in meaningful conversations with breeders without feeling overwhelmed. Additionally, the algorithm ensures a fair and random matching process, without prioritizing one breeder over another.
When a buyer is matched to a Certified Breeder, both the breeder and buyer receive an email containing information about both parties. (see example below)
The benefits of matching for breeders
For breeders, TellTail's matching service acts as a powerful lead-generation tool.
When a breeder is matched with a buyer, they receive direct contact information, including the buyer's name, location, email, and sometimes even their phone number.
This direct line of communication enhances transparency and trust. Breeders can be confident that the matched buyers are genuinely interested in their specific breed and that their preferences align with the breeder's program and available litters.
Providing Certified Breeders with unlimited buyer leads by way of TellTail’s matching service allows breeders to build waitlists for future litters to ensure the utmost in responsible breeding practices.
Why match to breeder programs, not just puppies?
TellTail asks Certified Breeders to provide information on current, upcoming, and planned litters. While this data is not shared with buyers, it is crucial for the algorithm to make the most accurate matches.
At TellTail, the emphasis is on the quality of the breeder's overall program, including the care and health of adult breeding dogs, the condition of the facilities, and the breeder's approach to puppy care and socialization.
We believe that the responsibility of matching a puppy with a new home lies with the breeder, who has the expertise to assess compatibility in terms of lifestyle, environment, and care requirements.
This approach minimizes the risk of mismatches and contributes positively to the welfare of the puppies.
TellTail’s public Certifed Breeder profiles allow breeders to provide a customizable snapshot of their program, providing the utmost in transparency to buyers.
Conclusion
TellTail's algorithm-powered matching service revolutionizes the pet adoption landscape.
By facilitating personalized connections between buyers and Certified Breeders, TellTail ensures that each puppy-purchase is a well-informed decision backed by expert guidance.
This innovative approach not only simplifies the search for the perfect furry companion but also promotes responsible breeding and long-lasting relationships between breeders and pet owners.
