The Breeder Contract Kit
Nine breeder contracts in two formats, with field-note annotations explaining why each clause exists.

Software forpeople whobreed animals
From contracts and waitlists to whelp logs and full websites, every tool here is built by a breeder who actually writes the code. You can finally stop duct-taping spreadsheets and free trials together to run a serious program.
Currently accepting 3 custom builds for Q3, with a waitlist open through the end of the year.

The exact playbooks I wish
I had when I started breeding.
Each kit is the boring-but-critical infrastructure of a breeding program, formatted, formulaed, and ready to use today. Full pricing on each kit page.
The Working Breeder Operations Kit
A complete operational toolkit for working breeders. 15 documents covering buyer screening, litter management, placement, and program-wide health tracking.
The Show Trial Kit
Eight documents and spreadsheets for running a show and trial season as a managed program instead of a reactive one.
The Puppy Waitlist System Kit
A complete operational toolkit for running a breeder waitlist. 12 documents plus a tracking spreadsheet covering intake, screening, communication, matchmaking, and post-placement follow-up.
The Keeper's Emergency Kit
A complete go-home kit for gecko breeders. 22 documents plus a 6-tab husbandry workbook covering triage, husbandry logs, crisis playbooks, vet communication, and failsafes.
The New Puppy Kit
The complete kit for new puppy owners. 12 working documents plus orientation, organized around the first 16 weeks of life with a new puppy.

Three ways into the

The most-asked-for document in the new puppy world, three ways: an interactive calculator that does the math in the browser, a free downloadable PDF pack with an email, or the full 12-doc kit working breeders send home with every puppy.
003 / Custom work
When the template is not the answer,
I build the thing.
Custom software, one program at a time. I take on a small number of builds per quarter so each one gets the attention it is paying for.
Custom breeder websites
A site that ranks, converts deposits, and matches the way you actually present your animals.
Discuss this buildBreeding records and genetics apps
From COI and pedigree to color genetics and weight curves, every record is shaped around your species and the way your program actually runs.
Discuss this buildSales and e-commerce sites
Reservations, deposits, payment plans, and transport coordination, all running through one sales pipeline you actually own.
Discuss this buildWorkflow diagnostic call
A focused 90-minute working session that ends with a written report and a recommended stack. No upsell, no pressure.
Discuss this buildSite SEO sweep
A full audit of your existing site that shows you exactly what is costing you inquiries, what to fix this week, and what to plan for next quarter.

004 / About
I went independent because
breeders kept losing to software.
I am Dusty Mumphrey, a software engineer from the Tyler, Texas area with more than nine years of experience building production systems for healthcare companies, car dealerships, government agencies, and startups.
I kept watching breeders and small pet businesses struggle with technical problems that were not actually that hard to solve. They just did not have anyone in their corner who could both understand the business and write the code to fix it.
Built By Dusty is that person.
I am AWS and Azure certified. I have shipped apps to the App Store. I have built HIPAA-compliant platforms. I have led engineering teams. I have also built my own businesses from scratch, so I know what it actually means to have something on the line.
When I take on a project, I treat it like it is mine.

005 / Common questions
Answers, before you ask.
The contract and show kits cover dogs out of the box, with editable fields for any species. The operations kit ships with two presets, canine and reptile, because those are the programs I personally run. If you need a custom preset for horses, birds, or livestock, mention it on your inquiry and I will add it.
Workflow diagnostic and SEO sweep turn around in 1-2 weeks. Custom websites are typically 4-8 weeks. Records and genetics apps run 8-16 weeks depending on scope. I only take on a handful of builds per quarter so I can stay in the work.
Both. The template kits were designed specifically for breeders who are not ready to invest in custom work yet. The diagnostic call is also a great option if you are not sure what you need, because you will leave with a clear plan whether you hire me afterward or not.
Modern, boring, and durable. Typically TypeScript, Next.js or Astro for sites, Postgres for data, AWS or Azure for hosting. Nothing exotic. You will be able to hire any competent dev to maintain it after me.
For custom builds over $3,500, yes. The standard arrangement is a 50/25/25 split at kickoff, midpoint, and delivery, and we can talk through the specifics on our call.
14-day no-questions-asked refund. If a kit does not fit your operation, you get your money back and I would genuinely like to hear why so the next version of it is better.

The intake page asks the same handful of questions I would ask on a call: who you are, what species, where the current workflow is breaking, and roughly what kind of help fits. It takes a couple of minutes and lands in my inbox the same day.
