When you first sign up, your account is set to the default "Pet Seeker" role. This lets you:

• Browse and search the breeder directory
• Save favorite breeders
• Write reviews
• Use breed tools (encyclopedia, comparison, quiz)

If you are a breeder, you can upgrade to a Breeder account by claiming an existing profile or submitting a new listing. See Claiming Your Breeder Profile for details.

I did not receive the verification email.

• Check your spam or junk folder.
• Make sure you entered the correct email address during registration.
• Wait a few minutes and try again. Some email providers delay delivery.
• If you still have not received it after 15 minutes, go to the login page and request a new verification email.

I get an error saying my email is already registered.
