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 Australian Cattle Dog puppy

This page gathers Australian Cattle Dog puppies for sale from UK breeders who advertise on caninebreeder.co.uk. A cattle dog puppy grows into a working herder that the RKC says needs more than two hours of exercise a day, so weigh up your routine before you enquire. For each litter, ask for the parents' prcd-PRA DNA result, hip and elbow results, current eye certificate and BAER hearing results, and ask whether the puppies themselves have been BAER tested. Registered parents can be checked on the RKC Health Test Results Finder. Visit, meet the puppies with their mother, and do not pay a deposit before you have seen them. Our buyer safety guide explains common scams and warning signs. If no litter suits you yet, browse Australian Cattle Dog breeders.

Health tests to ask about

The Australian Cattle Dog is in Breed Watch Category 1: the Royal Kennel Club has not flagged any points of concern specific to the breed for show judges. That does not mean the breed is free of inherited disease. The breed society's health page describes progressive retinal atrophy (two known forms, prcd-PRA and rcd4-PRA), primary lens luxation, and congenital deafness in one or both ears. It says hip and elbow dysplasia are not common in the UK but have caused problems in other countries, which is why the society encourages screening. The society also recommends a DNA test for primary lens luxation before breeding, although that test is not on the RKC list below.
