Breeder directory rows

The public professional directory (GET /api/profile/v1/{locale}/Profile/professionals?kind=BREEDER) lists breeders, kennels and catteries as one family. Since 2026-09-20 each row carries three additional, optional facts; a row from an older host simply omits them.

Field	Type	Meaning
professionalKindCode	BREEDER | KENNEL_CATTERY	The model the profile is on. KENNEL_CATTERY is the single business kind for kennels and catteries; there is no separate “cattery” code.
speciesCodes	string[]	Species derived from every breed the profile declares (taxonomy SysNames, DOG, CAT first, then alphabetical), regardless of the species/breed you filtered on. Dogs only → show the row as a kennel, cats only → a cattery, otherwise kennel & cattery.
rankScore	number | null	The quality-only directory rank (0–100). Rows are already ordered by it (then rating, then handle) unless you asked for distance ordering; null = not ranked yet (a new listing before the nightly pass).

The profile detail (GET …/Profile/profiles/{id}) carries the same two derived facts as speciesCodes and businessKindCode (KENNEL_CATTERY or null).

Kennel service categories

GET /api/profile/v1/{locale}/Profile/kind-service-categories?kind=KENNEL_CATTERY (public) returns the eight categories a kennel or cattery may offer — BOARDING, DAYCARE, TRAINING, GROOMING, STUD_SERVICE, HANDLING, TRANSPORT, BREEDING — each with a localized name, a description and specialtyCodes: the prf.Specialty codes that map the category onto the platform service catalog through applicableSpecialtyCodesCsv on the service definitions. Intersect them to list “the boarding services this kennel could offer”.

Ranking is quality-only — and read-only

The rank is computed nightly by the platform from verification, health-test uploads, contract use, inquiry response time, reviews, profile completeness and litter recency. Neither Partner status, nor a plan, nor any fee enters it, and no API changes it. Sponsored placements, if any, come from the Advertising BC and are labelled as such — never mixed into rankScore.
