Articles on: Your Profile & Organization

Getting listed in the breeder directory

Your personal profile does not show up in the breeder directory. To be listed, create a Breeder, Farm or Ranch organization, or claim the listing Creatures already made for your farm from public information.


An organization is a shared profile for your farm or business, with its own page, animals, listings and team.


Check whether you're already listed


  1. Open Directory (on a phone, it's in the menu), then choose Breeders.
  2. Search for your farm's name. On a phone, tap Change first to open the search.
  3. If you find your farm, claim it below. Don't create a second listing. If nothing matches, the page says No breeder named and your search. Check any close names under Did you mean first.


Listings marked Claimed are run by their owner.

Create a new listing


Create an organization and choose Breeder, Farm or Ranch as the Organization type. Add your species, breeds, location and a short description so buyers can tell it's you.


Your organization joins the breeder directory on its own. People can find it by name, species, breed and state. To leave it later, turn off Show Cedar Hollow Farm in the Creatures directory in Edit profile.


Claim the listing that's already there


  1. Open your listing and tap Claim this breeder profile under Is this your business?

  1. Under I own or run this business, tap Continue to claim. If you're signed out, sign in or create a free account first. The claim opens again when you're done.
  2. In Claim breeder profile, tap Verify phone or Verify email for a contact you can reach. Each button shows the number or address from the listing.
  3. Enter the six-digit code we send you, then tap Verify.

We text codes only to US and Canadian numbers, so use the email if the listed phone is elsewhere.


Once the code checks out, the listing becomes an organization you own. Edit organization profile opens right away so you can fix anything out of date.


If you can't use the listed phone or email


Our team can check that it's your business by hand.


  • No organization yet: tap Claim this breeder profile at the bottom of the window. We'll create the organization for you once we confirm it's yours.
  • You own or co-own an organization: tap Claim as followed by its name to add the listing to it, or tap Claim as a new organization. Team members who aren't owners can't claim for an organization.

The listing then says Your claim is pending review. You'll get a note that we're on it, and we'll email you. Don't want to wait? If the listing has a phone or email, tap Verify the listing's phone or email to claim it with a code.


After you claim


Your new organization page shows a short setup checklist that counts your essentials, such as 0 of 5 essentials complete. Tap Setup details to see every step:


  • Add your logo or a photo
  • Confirm what you raise: check the species and breeds copied from the listing with Review species, or tap Looks right.
  • Make the About yours: rewrite the description in your own words.
  • Add your location: people nearby find you by city and state.
  • Show what you have available: tap Add an animal for one animal, or Add a group for a whole group with how many you have.


Tap Hide to put the checklist away.


People who are waiting for you


An unclaimed listing may say "2 people are waiting to connect with you." These are people who followed your listing or asked to be told when you join. When you claim it, we let them know you've joined.


Run a hoof care, shearing or other service business, or want a listing removed? See Is your business listed? Claim it, correct it, or ask us to remove it.
