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 Bloodhound puppy

Bloodhound litters are not common in the UK; so few puppies are registered each year that the RKC lists the breed as vulnerable. Expect to join a waiting list, and use that time to meet adult hounds so you know what living with a 40 kg scent hound involves: drool, baying, wet ears and more than two hours of exercise a day. When you compare Bloodhound puppies for sale here, look for hip, elbow and eye results for both parents, RKC registration details and a breeder who asks about your home in detail. See the litter with its mother, never pay a deposit before viewing, and in England check that anyone breeding three or more litters in a 12-month period and selling puppies holds a council licence.

Health tests to ask about

The RKC recommends pre-breeding screening in two tiers. It strongly recommends 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. There is no breed-specific RKC DNA testing package for the Bloodhound and no additional breed-specific breeding restrictions.

The Bloodhound is in Breed Watch Category 2. The Bloodhound Club reports that the breed moved there from Category 3 on 1 January 2025, and that the RKC highlighted low uptake of hip and elbow scoring and some concerns about temperament. The points judges are asked to look for are eyelids turned inwards or outwards, excessive skin on the head or body, dermatitis in skin folds, nervous temperament, and incorrect hind conformation or poor rear movement.

The Bloodhound Club's surveys identify cancer and gastric torsion (bloat) as the main causes of death, and the club warns that bloat is usually fatal unless a vet is called at once. The Bloodhound Joint Breed Health Group also covers skin conditions and eyelid problems such as entropion and ectropion, and the club lists heart testing and a DNA test for degenerative myelopathy (DM) among the checks responsible breeders like to carry out.
