Breeder Marketplace for Service Providers
Reach professional breeders actively searching for veterinary, training, photography, transport, and other pet services.
BreederHQ connects you with serious breeders (not random pet owners) who need specialized services and have ongoing service needs.
TL;DR
BreederHQ Marketplace gives service providers (vets, trainers, photographers, transporters) targeted visibility to professional breeders.
Qualified leads, transparent pricing, verification badges.
$49/month per listing. No commissions.
The Breeder Market Is Different
Professional breeders are not typical pet owners:
Higher Service Frequency
- • Breeders need progesterone testing every heat cycle (4-6x per year per female)
- • Puppy litters need wellness exams (8-12 puppies per litter)
- • Training services for entire litters, not one-off dogs
- • Photography for every litter (professional portfolio images)
Higher Service Value
- • Breeder clients = recurring revenue (ongoing breeding program)
- • Litter services = volume pricing (10 puppies at once vs 1)
- • Long-term relationships (breeders don't switch vets casually)
Different Search Behavior
- • Breeders ask other breeders for referrals (tight community)
- • They search breeder-specific forums and groups
- • They want providers who UNDERSTAND breeding (not just pet care)
- • They value credentials (theriogenology, breed-specific experience)
Current Problem
Generic advertising (Google Ads, Facebook) reaches random pet owners.
Breeder-specific networks are fragmented (Facebook groups, breed clubs).
No centralized place where breeders search for services.
Current Marketing Approaches
Approach 1: Word-of-Mouth / Breeder Referrals
Works: High trust, qualified leads
Breaks down: Slow to scale, geographic limits, no control
Approach 2: Breed Club Advertising
Works: Targeted audience
Breaks down: Expensive ($500-2000/year per club), limited reach, print-based
Approach 3: Facebook Groups
Works: Direct breeder access
Breaks down: Self-promotion banned in most groups, spammy reputation
Approach 4: Google Ads / Facebook Ads
Works: Scale and reach
Breaks down: 95% of clicks are pet owners, not breeders. Poor ROI.
Approach 5: Own Website + SEO
Works: Professional presence
Breaks down: Breeders don't Google "reproductive vet near me" - they ask breeders
What's Missing
A place where breeders actively SEARCH for service providers, with verification and credibility signals built-in.
Why Craigslist / Facebook Marketplace Don't Work
Problem 1: Wrong Audience
- • Pet owners, not professional breeders
- • One-time transactions, not ongoing relationships
Problem 2: No Credibility System
- • Anyone can post anything
- • No verification of credentials
- • Breeders can't trust providers
Problem 3: No Breeder-Specific Categories
- • "Dog training" doesn't distinguish puppy socialization vs obedience vs show handling
- • "Veterinary" doesn't distinguish general practice vs theriogenology
- • Breeders need nuance
Problem 4: Search Is Broken
- • Can't filter by species-specific experience
- • Can't filter by breeder-friendly (payment plans, volume pricing, etc.)
- • No way to find "repro vet who understands brachycephalic breeds"

This Marketplace Probably Isn't For You If:
✗ You're a general practice vet with no breeding focus
- • Breeders need reproductive specialists
- • General wellness vets won't see ROI on this marketplace
- • Stick to Google My Business for local pet owner traffic
✗ You're a pet groomer for owners (not show prep)
- • Breeders need breed-specific grooming (show clips, breed standards)
- • Owner grooming is a different market
- • Better to market on Rover or local ads
✗ You offer one-time products (not ongoing services)
- • BreederHQ is for service relationships, not e-commerce
- • Selling puppy pads? Use Amazon.
- • Custom whelping boxes? Etsy or breed club ads.
✗ You're not willing to learn breeder-specific needs
- • Breeders expect you to understand breeding terminology
- • If you treat breeders like random pet owners, reviews will reflect that
- • This market rewards specialization
