MDBA
We are registered with Master Dog Breeders Association. Our Member No is 44059
MDBA advises that the best way to protect yourself and be as assured as possible that you are dealing with the breeder is to speak with them on a phone with the last four digits the MDBA matches to their member number.
There should be no compromise on this. The buyer must speak directly with the breeder on the phone — no excuses, no alternatives like Facebook messaging. A proper phone conversation with the breeder using their real number is essential.
Listen for how the breeder speaks about their dogs and their owners. Do they make you feel supported, comfortable asking questions, and confident they’ll be there if issues arise after the puppy goes home? Are they knowledgeable and able to give clear advice about the breed?
