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.

Buying a Black & Tan Coonhound puppy
Black & Tan Coonhound puppies are rarely advertised in the UK. The first dogs only arrived in 2014, the breed was recognised in 2018 and it is still on the RKC Imported Breed Register, so joining a waiting list is normal. Use the time to meet adult dogs and make sure a large hound with a keen nose and a carrying voice suits your household. When you compare Black & Tan Coonhound puppies for sale on this page, look for hip and elbow scores and eye certificates for both parents, RKC registration details, and a breeder who asks about your home and routine. Always see the litter with its mother, never pay a deposit before viewing, and get the health results and registration terms in writing before you commit.
Health tests to ask about
The RKC breed page groups pre-breeding screening into two tiers. It strongly recommends that breeders complete the Good Practice tier as a minimum: prioritising genetic diversity, plus hip and elbow scoring. The Best Practice tier adds an eye examination, and the RKC says responsible breeders should complete both tiers. The RKC does not currently offer a breed-specific DNA testing package for the Black & Tan Coonhound, and there are no additional breed-specific breeding restrictions.
The Black & Tan Coonhound Club of GB asks that all breeding dogs are hip and elbow scored and eye tested before mating. The club reports that hip dysplasia has been noted in the breed, elbow dysplasia to a far lesser degree, and some eye conditions. It points owners who are considering heart screening towards further information, and invites owners and breeders to report health problems to its breed health team so that emerging issues can be picked up. Because many UK dogs descend from the first two litters bred here, genetic diversity needs careful thought when planning a mating.
The breed is in Breed Watch Category 1, so the RKC has not listed any breed-specific points of concern for judges.
