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 Belgian Shepherd Dog (Malinois) puppy

The Malinois is registered in far larger numbers than the other Belgian varieties, with 226 RKC registrations in 2025, but a litter being available does not make the breed right for every home. The RKC recommends more than two hours of exercise a day for this working dog, so meet the parents and ask how they live before you commit. The breeders on this page have supplied their own details; we do not vet or recommend individual breeders.

Your puppy should be at least eight weeks old, microchipped and seen with its mother. Ask for the parents' BVA hip, elbow and eye results and the RKC registration. The RKC notes that a Malinois mating can result in one or more long-coated Tervueren puppies, so a breeder may explain that a pup has been registered as a different variety; the RKC's registration rules allow for this.

Health tests to ask about

The Malinois is in Breed Watch Category 1, so the RKC has not identified any breed-specific points of concern for judges to look out for beyond those the breed standard already covers.

The RKC's pre-breeding guidance for the Malinois lists three best-practice schemes: hip, elbow and eye screening. No tests are listed under a separate good-practice tier. The RKC does not offer a breed-specific DNA test package for the Malinois, though individual DNA tests are available. Its general breeding advice is to check the inbreeding coefficient of any planned mating with its online calculator.

The Northern Belgian Shepherd Dog Club reports that, across the Belgian varieties, hip dysplasia is relatively rare, although most responsible breeders hip score before breeding. Hereditary juvenile cataracts affect some dogs, and the club says most responsible breeders only breed from dogs with a current clear eye certificate. It also notes that epilepsy appears to be inherited and often does not show until about five years of age, sometimes after a dog has been bred from.

Dogs must be at least one year old for BVA hip and elbow X-rays. BVA Canine Health Schemes advises breeding only from dogs with hip scores under, or near, the breed median and an elbow grade of 0.
