How to make a Premier Profile
Why do I need a Premier profile?
A Premier profile provides the same features as a Standard profile, plus many more! It lets you show off photos of your kennel/breeding facility, and provides your own customizable Homepage URL (an easy link you can use to guide buyers to your Testimonials, your contact info, and all of your available listings on Puppies.com).
For more information about the differences between our Standard and Premier membership options, check out our What are the benefits of a paid membership? Help Center page.
How do I get a Premier profile?
The first step is purchasing a Premier membership (if you haven't done so already). Click on the Menu icon in the upper-right corner. From there, click Membership & Billing, and you'll see the option to subscribe to a Premier membership for only $19.99/month or $199.99/annually.
How do I fill out the form?
Once you select a Premier membership, you'll be automatically prompted to set up your Premier profile. Available fields include:
- Kennel/Breeder Name
If you don't have a name for your kennel or your breeding program, you can use your name.
- Website
If you have a website for your business, you can add it here. This will be displayed publicly on your Premier profile, and is optional (but it can be a great way for buyers to learn more about your business).
- Phone
This will be displayed publicly on your premier profile, and is optional.
- Puppies.com Homepage Name
As a Premier member, you can set up a custom homepage which can be used to direct buyers straight to your Premier profile; this gives them a handy way to locate your current listings, your testimonials, and your contact info, all with a single click! The Homepage link will look like this: http://puppies.com/premier/YourNameHere. You can set this to whatever you want (using letters and numbers only). This is optional.
- Breeds Available
This is where you can specify what breeds you produce. It will be shown on your Premier profile.
- About Your Place
This is where you describe yourself as a breeder. It's a great place to introduce yourself to potential buyers, and let them know what makes your dogs special, what your primary focus is as a breeder, and how you stand out from other breeders online.
- Federal and State License
If these apply to you, select the appropriate option. Check out our Licensing Tips article for helpful information.
- Facility Photos
This is where you can show the environment you raise your dogs in: kennel runs, training areas, grooming stations, and exercise yards are all great things to show off to help show potential buyers that you are a responsible breeder.
To upload Facility Photos to your Premier profile:
- It is best to upload Facility Photos after you've saved the rest of your Premier profile information. As such, we recommend saving your Premier profile (without facility photos) first, fully purchasing your Premier membership (if necessary), and then returning to your Premier profile to upload photos.
- To upload Facility Photos, tap the circular icon with the text "Click to upload up to 10 photos".
- Select the appropriate photo(s) from the File Explorer/Images page that opens automatically.
- Click "Done" or "Open" (depending on your device type) to start the photo upload.
- Once the photos are done uploading, scroll to the bottom and click "Save Changes".
