How the Directory Badge Works
Once your membership is approved, your directory listing automatically gains an MLB Member badge and is added to the “Licensed Breeder Network” filter.
Members can publish unlimited litters, embed their Digital Pawprint breeder‑score widget and link to inspection ratings.
Badged listings are higher in search results, driving more ethical buyer enquiries to you.
