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 a Bavarian Mountain Hound puppy

Bavarian Mountain Hound puppies for sale

Litters from Bavarian Mountain Hound breeders around the UK are listed here, but a listing is a starting point, not a recommendation. The breed society points out that these puppies become independent, strong-minded adult hounds that need training throughout their lives, so expect a responsible breeder to ask about your plans. Visit, meet the puppies with their mother, and look up both parents' hip scores on the RKC Health Test Results Finder. Ask for the litter's inbreeding coefficient too. Every puppy must be microchipped and registered by eight weeks old. In England, anyone who breeds three or more litters in 12 months and sells any of the puppies, or runs a business breeding and advertising dogs for sale, needs a licence from the local council. Your puppy should come with registration papers, copies of the parents' health and working certificates and a written contract.

Health tests to ask about

Health and testing

The RKC's Breed Watch places the Bavarian Mountain Hound in Category 1: the RKC has not flagged any breed-specific concerns for show judges beyond what the breed standard already covers. That does not mean the breed is free of health problems.

For breeding stock, the RKC lists prioritising genetic diversity under Good Practice, the minimum it strongly recommends, and hip testing under Best Practice, and says responsible breeders should complete both. Hip scoring under the BVA/KC Hip Dysplasia Scheme uses X-rays taken under anaesthesia or heavy sedation once the dog is at least a year old. Each hip is scored from 0 to 53, giving a total of 0 to 106, and a lower score is better. BVA publishes a median score for each breed and recommends breeding only from dogs scoring below or close to it.

The Bavarian Mountain Hound Society of GB says epilepsy is inherited in the breed and usually appears between the ages of one and five. It says the only current way to reduce the risk is to research pedigrees before breeding, and it asks owners to report seizures or a diagnosis so they can be added to its health database.

What the RKC lists for this breed

  • Good Practice: Prioritising genetic diversity (the RKC advises a litter inbreeding coefficient at or below the breed average)
  • Best Practice: Hip testing (for hip dysplasia) using the BVA/KC Hip Dysplasia Scheme
  • Breed Watch: Category 1
