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 Terrier puppy

Australian Terrier puppies for sale can be hard to find in the UK, so it pays to start looking early. The litters on this page are advertised by breeders themselves, so do your own checks before paying a deposit. Before you reserve a puppy, ask whether the litter is RKC registered, ask for the coefficient of inbreeding of the mating, and arrange to see the puppies with their mother where they were born. The breed standard describes an adult of about 6.5 kg, and the RKC suggests up to an hour's exercise a day and grooming more than once a week for the harsh coat, so budget time for brushing as well as walks. If no litters are listed, contact Australian Terrier breeders who may be planning one, or look at Australian Terrier stud dogs to see which lines are active.

Health tests to ask about

The RKC does not list any breed-specific health screening schemes or DNA tests for the Australian Terrier. The one good-practice measure on its breed page is prioritising genetic diversity. The RKC has no breed-specific DNA testing package for the breed at present, although its individual DNA tests can still be ordered.

Genetic diversity matters in a breed with so few registrations each year. The RKC advises breeders to aim for puppies whose coefficient of inbreeding (COI) is no higher than the breed average and, where possible, well below it. Its online calculators show the COI of a proposed mating next to the breed average, which the RKC recalculates each June.

Having no listed scheme does not mean the breed is free of health problems. Ask breeders what veterinary checks their breeding dogs have had, how long related dogs have lived and whether any conditions have appeared in their lines, and look up recorded results on the RKC Health Test Results Finder. For concerns about a particular condition, the RKC suggests speaking to your vet or the breed health co-ordinator.

  • RKC good practice: prioritising genetic diversity (compare the mating's COI with the breed average using the RKC inbreeding coefficient calculator)
  • RKC breed-specific DNA testing package: none currently offered
  • BVA canine health schemes: none listed by the RKC for this breed
  • Breed Watch: Category 1 (no breed-specific points of concern identified for judges)
  • Breeding restrictions: no additional breed-specific restrictions listed by the RKC
