Reviewing Submissions

Tips & Common Questions

Can I have more than one application form?

Yes — you can create multiple forms, for example a general puppy application and a separate guardian home application.

Do applicants get notified when I approve or decline them?

BreederBuddy sends an automated email when a submission status changes. You can customize those email messages under Email Templates.

Can I link an approved applicant to a puppy or waitlist?

Yes — once approved, you can connect an applicant to a specific puppy or add them to a waitlist directly from their submission.

What information does the applicant have to fill in?

The applicant’s address (street, city, state, postal code, and country) is required so their contact record is populated correctly. The rest of the questions are whatever you include in your form.
