Trust in animal sales is often as elusive as a Mexican burrowing toad.
When it comes to buying pets or livestock, transparency needs to be a non-negotiable.
YouChoose is here to shape this paradigm.
Forget the frills – we’re here to cut through the noise and bring you an innovative approach to animal sales.
Hi, I’m Jeremy and with my brothers and co-creators Gavin and Hayden we’ve created YouChoose. We bring a wealth of experience as seasoned cattle farmers and dedicated animal breeders.
Growing up we were surrounded by a myriad of farm animals, including cattle and ostriches, which instilled our connection to animals and the land.
YouChoose is your answer to straightforward, trustworthy pets and livestock classifieds directory. No gimmicks – just a reliable platform connecting honest breeders with conscientious buyers.
This read will shed light on the issues, offering insights and a clear path to a more trustworthy experience. Stay tuned, and later on, I’ll guide you to download the app and set up your profile for free.
It’s time for a change in how we buy animals.

YouChoose aims to empower users by providing options and features to facilitate informed decisions. With a diverse range of animal types and breeds, the platform encourages buyers to explore and compare profiles effortlessly.
YouChoose takes on a facilitator role, placing control firmly in the hands of users – both buyers and breeders. Now, let’s look into how buyers can seize this control and easily navigate the process.
Taking Control As a Buyer
Taking control as a buyer is not just a choice – it’s an essential step towards a trustworthy and rewarding experience.
With a YouChoose profile acting as your mini-website, buyers gain the upper hand by accessing a plethora of information like exploring multiple breeds, delving into the selling history of breeders, and easily distinguishing reliable sellers and breeders through the verification badge – the ‘v’ underneath a breeder’s YouChoose profile image.
Breeders become verified with the Rapid ID system YouChoose has adopted into its backend systems. It allows for real-time identity verification and fraud prevention. The App’s backend payment systems communicate with the Rapid ID system. It’ll flag profiles and accounts if the identification doesn’t match and if it’s not an Australian account holder.
YouChoose also offers a conscious buyer education platform that takes it a step further, providing valuable tips and articles. We debunk common industry misconceptions and provide insights on training and caring for your animals from the get-go, reducing the risk of animals ending up in shelters.
Your control, your choices – welcome to a new era of animal sales.
YouChoose Links with Existing Club and Associations
Existing animal clubs and associations have long been the heartbeat of the pets and livestock industry. YouChoose is here to work together with them for a better outcome.
Breeders can proudly showcase their club affiliations on their YouChoose profile to create connections beyond the immediate transaction.
We’re not out to replace anything – we’re here to complement the existing efforts, bridging gaps in an industry that thrives on diversity.
Recognising that clubs and associations operate on limited funding and volunteer-driven efforts, YouChoose steps in as the tech-savvy platform to spotlight Breeder’s hard work and passion. It’s not about reinventing the wheel – it’s about giving it some extra spin.
It’s where years of grit, tradition and innovation meet.
The YouChoose Mission
At the core of YouChoose lies a mission to revitalise the Pet and Livestock industry.
Our goal is simple – bring diversity back into animal breeding and educate buyers. Create a hub where people, both seasoned and new to breeding, can come together to share, breed and buy.
It’s a space where knowledge is exchanged, and trust is built.
We understand the significance of consolidating breeders’ information, including their history, achievements, and animals, in a single, buyer-friendly platform. YouChoose simplifies the process. Breeders can seamlessly integrate their existing links—such as websites, Facebook, and more—into their YouChoose profile, eliminating the need for redundant efforts.
This is convenient for both breeders and buyers.
YouChoose is a bridge for the generational gaps, ensuring that the wealth of knowledge from older breeders isn’t lost with them. We aim to breathe life back into an industry where movement and progression are limited, making it vibrant and sustainable for generations to come.
By providing a comprehensive classifieds directory, we empower buyers and breeders alike, fostering a transparent and positive environment.
YouChoose recognises the trust issues that often surround this industry, and our mission is to address them head-on.
We aspire to make a lasting impact on an industry.
Your trust fuels our mission, and we look forward to continually serving and enhancing the YouChoose experience.
