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 Bouvier Des Flandres puppy

Bouvier des Flandres puppies for sale

This page lists Bouvier des Flandres litters advertised by breeders on CanineBreeder. The breed is small in number in Britain, so there may be few or no litters here at any one time; that is normal, and it is not a reason to buy from a seller you cannot check. When a litter appears, ask for both parents' BVA/KC hip and elbow results and their eye certificates, then look the dogs up on the RKC Health Test Results Finder. Plan for an adult that may weigh up to about 40 kg and whose coat needs regular grooming and trimming. Visit the puppies where they were raised and meet the mother. You can also browse all puppies for sale, look for a planned mating among Bouvier des Flandres stud dogs, or contact the Bouvier des Flandres Club of Great Britain.

Health tests to ask about

Bouvier des Flandres health and testing

The Bouvier des Flandres is in Breed Watch Category 1, the category the RKC uses for breeds with no visible health concerns linked to conformation. The RKC says there are currently no additional breed-specific breeding restrictions for the Bouvier.

The RKC's good-practice advice for the breed is to prioritise genetic diversity, which matters in a breed the breed club describes as numerically small in the UK. Its best-practice list covers hips, elbows and eyes. Dogs must be at least a year old for hip scoring and elbow grading; the BVA recommends breeding only from dogs with an elbow grade of 0, and choosing dogs whose hip scores are below or close to the breed median.

The Bouvier des Flandres Club of Great Britain reports very few recorded health concerns in Bouviers bred in the UK, but describes conditions seen in the breed, including bloat (gastric dilatation-volvulus), hip and elbow dysplasia, cataract, glaucoma, hypothyroidism and subaortic stenosis. Its health page also discusses heart scanning by echocardiogram and thyroid blood tests.

Tests and schemes the RKC lists for the breed:

  • Good practice: prioritising genetic diversity
  • Best practice: BVA/KC Hip Dysplasia Scheme
  • Best practice: BVA/KC Elbow Dysplasia Scheme
  • Best practice: BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme

No screening result guarantees a healthy puppy. Registered dogs' results can be checked on the RKC Health Test Results Finder.
