Is it free to advertise here?

Yes. A breeder profile and your litter and stud dog adverts are free. Premium profiles, featured placement and sponsored articles are optional paid extras; see pricing.

Do I need a licence to advertise puppies?

In England you need a dog breeding licence from your council if you breed three or more litters in 12 months or breed and sell dogs as a business, and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own schemes. Licensed breeders show their licence number and issuing council on every advert. Puppies must be at least eight weeks old before they go to new homes.

Is my listing already here?

We add licensed breeders from councils' public registers. Search for your kennel name; if it is listed you can claim it and edit everything.

Buying an Affenpinscher puppy

Affenpinscher puppies are scarce in the UK. The breed club puts the figure at roughly 100 born a year, so most buyers register interest with a breeder and wait for a planned litter rather than finding a puppy ready to go.

The litters on this page are advertised by breeders themselves. Before you pay anything, ask to see both parents' patella certificates and any respiratory grades, see the puppy with its mother, and check the breeder's licence number if they need one. Never pay a deposit for a puppy you have not seen; our buyer safety guide explains why.

Only black appears in the UK breed standard. Red or black and tan puppies may be offered, and the RKC advises choosing a dog that fits the standard and putting health and temperament ahead of colour. If nothing suits you here, look through our Affenpinscher breeder profiles or ask the Affenpinscher Club about planned litters.

Health tests to ask about

The RKC treats the Affenpinscher as a flat-faced (brachycephalic) breed and highlights two risks. Too much soft tissue around the nose and throat can obstruct the airway, causing heavy panting or noisy breathing, and a shortened skull and jaw can leave the teeth overcrowded, leading to dental and gum problems. The breed standard asks for a short muzzle that is not so flat it makes breathing difficult.

The Affenpinscher is one of the breeds covered by the RKC and University of Cambridge Respiratory Function Grading Scheme. A trained vet listens to the dog's breathing at rest and again after three minutes of brisk exercise, then gives a grade from 0 to 3: grades 0 and 1 are clinically unaffected, grade 3 severely affected. Dogs can be graded from 12 months, and the RKC advises repeating the assessment every two years for life or until the dog is no longer bred from.

The RKC breed page links to the Affenpinscher Club's health scheme. The club says patellar luxation (a slipping kneecap) was the condition most often reported in living dogs in the 2014 Kennel Club breed health survey, and recommends its Patella Testing Scheme before breeding: a vet grades the knees on the Putnam scoring system, without anaesthetic.
