Master Dog Breeders and Associates

January 10th, 2025—It appears that there are far more people looking for new puppies again. As a result, the scammers are also out in full force. Breeders, this is a reminder not to send a photo of your membership card, your license, etc., to anyone. Puppy buyers need to do their own due diligence, and websites and pages often look real. Speak with the breeder using a phone number that matches the phone number held on record and attached to the MDBA membership before you pay any money. Don't assume that because they gave you the phone number attached to the member, that is still theirs. Phone numbers, breeder ID numbers and member numbers are easily picked off out of advertisements. Don't just speak with them on Facetime or via social media, and don't listen to any excuses about how they can't talk on a phone because they are out of range or hearing impaired, etc. Needless to say, breeder members need to be sure their phone numbers are up to date with the MDBA and those used when they speak with puppy buyers. The MDBA will check the last 4 digits match this to verify.

This is just the first reminder for the new year that the MDBA rules require all breeders to register all progeny in every litter with the MDBA within 6 months of the date of birth. Every breeder member agrees to this when they join and at each renewal.

The highest number of complaints we receive through our office concerns non-receipt of papers, and puppy buyers have every right to expect that an MDBA-registered pedigree or registration certificate will be provided to them promptly, whether you have told them they will receive papers or not.

This is about to become more of an issue as we prepare to launch our events and some other programs where those dogs without MDBA registration will not be able to participate.

Any puppy buyer who has purchased a dog from an MDBA breeder member and has not received their papers in a timely manner is encouraged to lodge a complaint here so that we can assist you with this.

Here we go again - this is a scam and it appears it is now spreading to numerous other countries all done via facebook. If you see it please report it even though it appears facebook doesn't remove it as it 'doesn't breach their community policies.' Two people in the last 24 hours have lost their money with this. Check before you pay.

Full marks and congratulations to those involved in our British Bulldog Genetic Action Plan for Airways Oedema. We now have numerous dogs of this breed in our gene pool with zero and one copy of the Airways Oedema gene [adamts3].
These breeders have worked hard to bring us to a place where the reality of being able to select against Upper Airway Syndrome (UAS) disease in this breed is now possible and there is less risk of these dogs having severe illness and deaths associated with the “excess” soft tissues interfering with airflow and partially blocking the nasopharynx and the larynx, laryngeal collapse, swollen saccules, fluid in the heart and lungs and Anasarca [fluid filled puppies] that occur in this breed.
By working together, breeders can share knowledge and resources, as well as support each other in making responsible breeding decisions. This can also help prevent inbreeding and promote diversity in the gene pool.
For anyone who wishes to become involved in the MDBA Genetic Action Plan for the British Bulldogs that will not be affected by this genetic disorder, zero and one copy babies suitable as pet breeding or guardian homes are available now. Semen IS also now available from several unrelated dogs.
