How do I optimize my match settings on my buyer profile?

Set your breed, timing, budget, and location preferences in your Buyer Profile to optimize your matches with breeders.

Overview

Your Buyer Profile settings help TellTail’s algorithm connect you with the right breeders. By setting accurate preferences for breed, timing, budget, and location, you’ll receive better matches and make it easier for breeders to understand your needs.

Match Settings

1. Breeds You Are Interested In

  • Select the breed(s) you’re most interested in.
  • You can choose multiple breeds if you’re open to different options.

2. When Would You Like a Puppy

Choose your preferred timeline:

  • Immediately: You’re ready for a puppy now.
  • 1–3 Months: You’re preparing for a near-future puppy.
  • Not Sure Yet: You’re exploring options without a set timeline.

3. Maximum Budget (USD)

  • Enter the highest amount you’re willing to spend.
  • This helps match you with breeders in your price range.

4. Save Your Preferences

  • Be sure to click Save after making updates.

5. Turn Matching On or Off

  • Toggle “I want to continue receiving matches” to ON if you want to keep receiving breeder introductions.
  • Turn it OFF if you want to pause matches.

Account Settings

  • Name & Email: These cannot be updated once your profile is created.
  • Phone Verification: Adding a verified phone number signals to breeders that you’re a serious buyer.
  • Address: Your exact address is private. Only your city & state is shared with breeders so they can see if you’re local.


Key Takeaway

The more accurate and up-to-date your Buyer Profile settings are, the better your matches will be. Select your breed(s), timeline, budget, and keep matching turned ON to get the most out of TellTail’s curated introductions.
