How does TellTail match me with Certified Breeders?

TellTail matches your Buyer Profile preferences with vetted breeder data to create curated introductions, connecting you with responsible, Certified Breeders.

Overview

TellTail isn’t a listing site — you don’t browse ads. Instead, our algorithm uses your Buyer Profile preferences to introduce you to Certified Breeders who have been verified and meet your criteria for breed, budget, timing, and location.

Before sending money to a breeder, verify that you are communicating with them using the email and phone number listed on their Certified Breeder profile. You can access breeder profiles from your account in the "My Matches" section.

NEVER send money to an individual if you cannot verify their identity. If in doubt, please reach out to our support team for help: hello@telltail.com


How the Matching Works

1. Your Buyer Profile

  • You set your preferences: breeds, timing, budget, and location.
  • These choices guide how the algorithm finds matches.

2. Breeder Profiles & Litter Records

  • Breeders keep their program and litter details up to date.
  • This info is not shown to buyers directly but helps us align timing, breed availability, and transport options.

3. Curated Introductions

  • When there’s a match, you’ll receive an introduction to a breeder.
  • Breeders see your profile and can respond to start the conversation.


What to Expect

  • Verified Breeders Only: Every Pro breeder is identity-verified and vetted for responsible practices.
  • Not Every Match is Immediate: Some breeders may have current puppies, while others are building waitlists for upcoming litters.
  • Breeder Outreach: Your contact information is shared with breeders, and many will reach out to you. You’re not required to respond, but it’s polite to let breeders know if you’re no longer interested.


Key Takeaway

TellTail’s algorithm matches your preferences with vetted breeder data to create curated introductions. This process helps you connect directly with responsible, verified breeders instead of browsing through unverified listings.
