I like the platform but… applications aren’t serious
I like the platform for advertising my dogs. Easy to use and looks professional. I like the notifications and reminder notifications. I accepted a payment through the website as well, she later said she actually can’t get a dog and asked for a refund. The problem I am having is with that the number of serious inquiries is scarce. I have a lot of applications, and takes time vet, and 60% don’t respond back once I reach out to them. Never had this before when potential puppy buys found me and filled out my own application through my website. Maybe it’s “too” easy for them to apply and don’t see our time as valuable. Also. On a breeder standpoint. You ask us if we health test but don’t make us proven it before you “stand behind us as good breeders”, I can see this coming back to to- no pun intended- Bite you in the you know what. Just my honest opinion. It’s too easy to say breeders are something they really aren’t.
