Together, we can do more
Individual breeders. A collective voice.
Breeding comes with responsibilities. Being part of a network means having people to turn to, experience to learn from and a voice in the conversations that affect you.
MLB brings breeders together around a shared purpose: better welfare for dogs, greater confidence for buyers and practical support for the people who care for them.
- Practical support for everyday responsibilities.
- Shared knowledge and connections.
- Representation informed by breeders’ experience.

From our members
Support you can count on.
I've just completed my licenced breeder course, the course was extremely informative and any questions that I raised were answered in depth. A course that is beneficial for the current licensed breeder and those who are seeking to become one.

Before you join
A few questions, answered.
Who is the network for?
MLB brings together licensed dog breeders and people working towards licensing who want practical support, shared knowledge and a collective voice.
What does membership bring together?
The network brings together learning and workshops, practical breeding and licensing support, Digital PawPrint and directory promotion. The network is a collective of breeders who do things right and are accountable for each pup they bring into the world. This is what seperates them from unlicensed breeders.
What is The Digital PawPrint?
The Digital PawPrint is a QMS (Quality Management System) that helps you organise policies, care routines and breeding records in one place. It supports everyday record keeping and helps you present evidence at inspection.
How do I access Digital PawPrint?
Use the Member login link to open your Digital PawPrint. If you joined MLB separately and do not yet have a PawPrint account, contact us for help getting your access connected.
Can MLB help me prepare for licensing?
We offer education and practical support to help you understand your responsibilities and prepare your records. Your local authority makes licensing decisions; membership does not guarantee a licence or inspection outcome.
