Your Website & Online Presence

Most breeders spend hours keeping their website up to date — editing puppy availability, adding new litters, updating dog profiles. BreederBuddy eliminates all of that. Your website connects directly to your data, so when you update something in the app, your site reflects it automatically.

How It Works

BreederBuddy powers your website behind the scenes. Every dog you add, every litter you plan, every puppy you mark available — it all shows up on your website without you touching it. You run your program in one place and your website just stays current. There are three ways to get set up: Template website — Build it yourself: pick a template, fill in each section of your site, publish. No coding, nothing to install. Included with the Pro plan. Custom branding — The template experience with a theme designed for your program only. $800 one-time, on the Pro plan. Signature build — A custom site designed and built by hand. $400 to $4,000 one-time, on the Signature plan ($80/month, in place of Pro). Highly customized, advanced sites get custom pricing. To get started:
  1. In the left menu, under Your Online Presence, open Website and click Get a website.
  2. Look through the example sites and options.
  3. Click Build my website, pick a template, and fill in your site section by section on My Website.
Once your site is published, the same spot in the left menu shows My Website instead. That’s where you edit your live site. Signature customers see Website Walkthrough there while we build their custom site. Prefer to talk it through? Reach out through the chat and we’ll walk you through your options. If you already have a WordPress site you love, the BreederBuddy plugin can show your live dogs and litters there instead.

What Your Website Includes

  • Your dogs, litters, and available puppies — always current, always synced
  • Buyer application forms that flow directly into your BreederBuddy account
  • Hosting, backups, and security handled for you
  • Works beautifully on every device

What Shows On Your Website

Three things decide whether a dog or litter appears on your site, and they always work the same way. The quickest place to check them is Content Manager in the left menu, which shows a Public or Hidden toggle on every dog and litter. The puppies decide availability, not the litter. If you mark one puppy Available, your website shows that puppy and its litter as available — even if you already set the litter itself to Completed. Changes take about a minute to appear on your site. If you don’t see an update after a few minutes, refresh the page.
Archive it. Open the litter, click Archive litter, and it comes off your website within a minute or two. Setting the status to Completed on its own keeps it on the site as a past litter.
Check that the puppy’s status is Available and that the puppy isn’t archived. Archived puppies never count as available, because archiving means the puppy has gone home.
Yes, as long as the puppy is still marked Public. WordPress sites with the BreederBuddy plugin keep archived dogs and label them as archived, so a Previous Puppies section can show them. If you want an archived dog gone from your WordPress site entirely, turn off Public.
Yes. Ask Buddy in Edit your website: “put our past litters on their own page with each puppy’s photo”, “retired dogs on their own page”, “group my dogs by breed”. Buddy picks the dogs or puppies from your records, so new ones join by themselves. Only Public dogs and puppies ever show. A page of puppies that went home can include archived puppies if you ask for that; they show on that page only, every card is marked so nobody mistakes them for available puppies, and they stay off the rest of your site.
No. Archived dogs and litters keep every record and stay searchable in your account. Archiving only takes them out of your default lists and off your website.
