# Programs

> Show buyers your sires, dams, upcoming litters, and past litters online. Learn what the BreederBuddy program page is, how the Public and Hidden toggles in Content Manager control which dogs and litters appear, and why a BreederBuddy website is the best way to share your breeding program.

The program page is a simple, one-page public overview of your breeding program: your sires, dams, upcoming litters, and past litters. It's an older, basic feature. For a public page that buyers can actually find and that stays up to date, we recommend a BreederBuddy website instead.

***

## What You Can Do Here

* Choose which dogs and litters are public and which stay private
* Show buyers your sires and dams with photos
* Showcase upcoming and past litters
* Upgrade to a full website when you're ready for buyers to find you online

## How It Works

### Choosing What's Public

Whatever is public appears on your public pages — your program page and your BreederBuddy website, if you have one. Anything hidden stays private.

1. In the left menu, under **Your Online Presence**, click [**Content Manager**](https://app.breederbuddy.com/display).
2. Pick the **Dogs** or **Litters** tab at the top.
3. Find the dog or litter. Its card shows a **Public** or **Hidden** badge.
4. Click **Publish** to make it public, or **Unpublish** to hide it. The badge updates right away.

You can also set this from a dog's or litter's own page: click **Edit Details**, scroll to **Display Settings**, and tick or untick **Public?**. Archived dogs stay off your website even when **Public?** is on.

### Getting Your Program Page Link

There's no menu item or copy-link button for the program page in the app. If you want to share your program online, set up a BreederBuddy website from [**Get a website**](https://app.breederbuddy.com/website). See [Get a Website](https://breederbuddy.com/docs/features/website-marketing/get-website.md).

### What Buyers See

* Your kennel name and logo
* Your sires and dams with photos
* Upcoming litters (planned or recently born)
* Past litters for reference

## Tips & Common Questions

> **How do I control what shows up publicly?**
>
> Use the **Publish** / **Unpublish** buttons in **Content Manager**, or the **Public?** checkbox under **Display Settings** on a dog or litter. Public items show; hidden ones don't.

> **Is this the same as a BreederBuddy website?**
>
> No — the program page is a simple, single-page overview. A BreederBuddy website (from **Get a website** in the left menu) is a complete multi-page site with your branding, your own domain, and pages buyers can find on Google.

> **I made a dog public but it's not showing. Why?**
>
> Check that the dog isn't archived — archived dogs stay off your website even when public. If it's still missing, reach out through the chat and we'll take a look.
