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 Shepherd puppy

Browse Australian Shepherd puppies for sale from UK breeders who advertise on caninebreeder.co.uk. Aussies are busy, clever herding dogs that shed and need a lot of exercise and training, so be sure the breed fits your household first. When a litter interests you, ask for the parents' hip and elbow results, current eye certificates and DNA results for CEA/CH, HC-HSF4, MDR1 and prcd-PRA, and check registered parents on the RKC Health Test Results Finder. A litter from two merle parents cannot be registered with the RKC. The breed club says colour, eye colour and tail length should not change the price of a puppy. See the puppies with their mother, and read our buyer safety guide before paying anything. You can also browse Australian Shepherd breeders and Australian Shepherd stud dogs.

Health tests to ask about

The Australian Shepherd is in Breed Watch Category 1, so the Royal Kennel Club has not flagged any breed-specific points of concern for show judges. Inherited conditions still occur. The Australian Shepherd Club of the UK covers hip and elbow dysplasia, eye conditions, epilepsy and cancer, and says some significant problems in the breed cannot yet be tested for. The breed can also carry the MDR1 mutation, which affects how certain medicines are cleared from the brain; the club advises owners of affected, carrier or untested dogs to give their vet a list of the drugs to avoid.

Since 1 January 2013 the RKC has not registered Australian Shepherd puppies from merle to merle matings, because a dog with two copies of the merle gene has a higher risk of blindness and deafness.

The RKC lists these for Australian Shepherd breeders:

Good practice: DNA test for Collie eye anomaly/choroidal hypoplasia (CEA/CH)
Best practice: DNA test for Hereditary cataracts (HC-HSF4)
Best practice: DNA test for Multi-drug resistance (MDR1)
Best practice: DNA test for Progressive retinal atrophy (prcd-PRA)
Best practice: elbow testing under the BVA/KC Elbow Dysplasia Scheme
Best practice: eye testing under the BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme
Best practice: hip testing under the BVA/KC Hip Dysplasia Scheme
