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 Bedlington Terrier puppy

Bedlington Terrier puppies for sale

Bedlington Terrier litters are not common: the RKC registered 188 of the breed in 2025, which puts it on the vulnerable native breeds list. This page gathers Bedlington Terrier puppies for sale from UK breeders, so contact them early if you can wait.

When you ask about a litter, request the COMMD1 copper toxicosis results and eye examination results for both parents. Be wary of any advert that calls a puppy "clear" of copper toxicosis: the Bedlington Terrier Association points out that a COMMD1 result relates only to that form of the disease. Visit the puppies with their mother, and check that they are microchipped and registered by eight weeks old.

Allow time for weekly grooming. If an adult would suit you, the Bedlington Terrier Rescue Foundation, a registered charity, rehomes Bedlingtons and gives new owners information on copper toxicosis. Otherwise, browse Bedlington Terrier breeders and read our buyer safety guide.

Health tests to ask about

Health and screening

The inherited condition most associated with the breed is copper toxicosis (CT), in which copper builds up in the liver and causes liver disease. The RKC lists a DNA test for the COMMD1 form of CT as Good Practice, the minimum before breeding, and eye testing under the BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme as Best Practice. COMMD1-related CT is autosomal recessive: a dog with one copy of the deletion is a carrier, and a dog with two copies is affected.

The RKC notes that CT may have other genetic causes not yet identified, and the UK breed clubs stress the same point. The Midland Bedlington Terrier Club says the COMMD1 test is not 100% conclusive and that liver biopsy remains the only definitive test, while the Bedlington Terrier Association reports dogs with clear or carrier COMMD1 results later diagnosed with CT. The Bedlington Terrier Health Group, set up jointly by the three UK breed clubs, is recruiting RKC-registered dogs for research with the Canine Genetic Centre at the University of Cambridge.

The breed is in Breed Watch Category 2, with cracked and/or corny pads listed for special attention by judges.

  • DNA test: copper toxicosis (COMMD1) (RKC Good Practice; included in the RKC DNA testing package for the breed)
