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 Bull Terrier puppy
Browse Bull Terrier puppies for sale from breeders listed across the UK. Each profile gives the breeder's name, location, website and social links, so you can get in touch directly and arrange a visit. When you speak to a breeder, ask for the litter's BAER hearing results and the parents' heart and kidney results, and check whether the puppies are white or coloured and will be RKC registered. Bull Terriers are strong, spirited dogs that need consistent training from the start, so be honest with the breeder about your experience and daily routine. If you really want a smaller dog, look at Miniature Bull Terrier listings instead, as that is a separate breed with its own health tests. caninebreeder.co.uk is an independent directory: we list breeders but do not inspect or vouch for them, so always make your own checks before paying a deposit.
Health tests to ask about
The RKC lists white Bull Terriers among dogs carrying the extreme piebald gene, in which congenital deafness is a recognised problem. The RKC places prioritising genetic diversity at Good Practice level and hearing testing under the RKC BAER Scheme, including litter screening, at Best Practice. A BAER test checks whether the brain responds to sound; the RKC says the best age to test a litter is around five and a half to six and a half weeks.
Also at Best Practice, the RKC points breeders to breed club heart and kidney schemes hosted by the Miniature Bull Terrier Club. The heart scheme uses a cardiologist listening with a stethoscope at 12 months to screen for mitral valve dysplasia and aortic stenosis. The kidney scheme uses a urine protein to creatinine ratio (UPC) test at 12 months, then yearly for breeding dogs, to screen for familial nephropathy. The RKC cannot yet record results from these club schemes.
The Bull Terrier is in Breed Watch Category 2, used for breeds where exaggerated conformation causes visible concerns that judges should watch more closely; the listed point of concern is misplaced canine teeth. The RKC does not register merle puppies from matings on or after 1 March 2011, citing risks to sight and hearing. No test can guarantee a healthy puppy.
