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 Azawakh puppy

Azawakh puppies for sale are uncommon in the UK: RKC registrations were in single figures in eight of the ten years from 2016 to 2025, and in two of those years there were none. Litters on this page are advertised by breeders themselves, so do your own checks before paying a deposit. Confirm that the litter will be registered on the RKC Imported Breed Register, see the puppies with their mother, and ask for the coefficient of inbreeding and the parents' health results. The breed standard puts adults at 60–74 cm at the withers, and the RKC suggests more than two hours of exercise a day, so make sure your home and routine suit a large sighthound that needs to run in a secure area. If nothing is listed, contact Azawakh breeders about planned litters or look at Azawakh stud dogs to see which dogs are available.

Health tests to ask about

The RKC does not list any breed-specific health screening schemes or DNA tests for the Azawakh. The one good-practice measure on its breed page is prioritising genetic diversity, and there is no RKC breed-specific DNA testing package for the Azawakh at present, although individual DNA tests are available.

The Azawakh Association of the UK notes that the gene pool narrowed when the breed was imported into Europe. Its health page covers several conditions found in Azawakhs: cervical spondylopathy (wobbler syndrome), masticatory muscle myositis, hypothyroidism (most often caused by autoimmune thyroiditis) and idiopathic epilepsy, which it believes is now less common. It suggests a thyroid panel before breeding and repeat thyroid testing through a dog's life. Heart and eye disease have not often been reported in the Azawakh, but because both are common in other sighthounds, the association regards heart and eye testing as a sensible step. In the UK, eye examinations can be done under the BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme, which is open to all dogs.

With so few Azawakhs in the UK, ask breeders about health across the whole pedigree, including imported lines, and compare the coefficient of inbreeding of a mating with the breed average.

  • RKC good practice: prioritising genetic diversity (check the COI with the RKC inbreeding coefficient calculator)
  • RKC breed-specific DNA testing package: none currently offered
  • Breed club suggestion: thyroid panel before breeding, repeated through life
  • Breed club suggestion: heart and eye examinations (BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme available in the UK)
  • Breed Watch: Category 1 (no breed-specific points of concern identified for judges)
  • Register: RKC Imported Breed Register; no additional breed-specific breeding restrictions listed
