WordPress is unquestionably the most powerful content management system on the web and this for many reasons. It is absolutely free, with no programming skills required, easy publishing tools available, extendable with hundreds of free plugins, and perhaps the most exciting bit, you can customize your website’s design, look and feel by using WordPress Themes.
Dog breeding websites, for most of them, look outdated and very year-2001 but an increasing number of breeders are now turning to WordPress because they love the concept of Themes. Dog breeders are usually not tech-savvy but they have a lot of knowledge to share, this is why Breeding Business recommend them to set up their dog breeder WordPress website in less than 5 minutes, use a theme from our selection here, and start sharing what they know about the breeds they know.
Dog-related business owners, including dog breeders, use WordPress themes because they are painless to set up and can be used to create any sort of website such as a blog, personal, corporate, and e-commerce site. Quality free WordPress themes are not easy to find, especially for novice webmasters, that is why I decided to gather the best free WordPress themes, along with the creme de la creme premium WordPress themes adapted to dog breeders.

A huge trend that is set to stay around for years is the one-page website: Zerif Lite is a free WordPress theme that is built around this one-page concept.

Tracks Free WordPress Theme
This free quality WordPress theme is wonderful for dog passionates who are happy to post a few in-depth articles. Each article has to be illustrated by high-resolution photography in order to get the most out of this template. The page loading time is great thanks to the minimal lightweight design and great coding skills of the developers behind the theme. It is a great choice for dog-lovers, slightly less for professional breeders as the layout doesn’t display much commercial information, but rather actual posts.
Agriculture to Impress WordPress Theme
Although this WordPress theme looks more like an agriculture theme than a dog breeder one, it is just a matter of the images you will use. The field makes it look like a farmer’s website, but using a photo of one of your dogs will change it completely, for the best. The design is flat and loads very quickly. The way the sections are laid out is ideal for a dog breeding website and you can also add blog posts sometimes to update your readers and followers.
All these WordPress themes are mobile-responsive which means they all display perfectly well on smartphones and tablets without the need for you to do anything else. These themes are incredibly easy to install and use, and they all boast incredible features that will most certainly blow your mind.
