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 Canaan Dog puppy

This page lists Canaan Dog puppies for sale and planned litters from breeders on caninebreeder.co.uk. Litters are infrequent in the UK, so joining a waiting list is normal, and a seller who always has puppies ready should prompt extra questions. Listings show what breeders tell us, so check the details yourself: look up both parents' hip and eye results on the RKC Health Test Results Finder and ask whether the puppies' kneecaps have been examined. Think about what a Canaan needs: around an hour's exercise a day, weekly brushing with more work at the moult, and patient socialisation, as the breed is wary of strangers and quick to bark. Meet the mother, see where the litter is raised and do not take a puppy home before eight weeks. The Canaan Dog Club of the United Kingdom can answer breed questions, you can browse Canaan Dog breeders, and our buyer safety guide explains how to avoid scams.

Health tests to ask about

The Royal Kennel Club's health guidance for the Canaan Dog lists prioritising genetic diversity as good practice and, as best practice, adds eye testing under the BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme and hip scoring under the BVA/KC Hip Dysplasia Scheme. There is no breed-specific DNA test package, although individual DNA tests are available. The breed is in Breed Watch Category 1, so no breed-specific points of concern have been flagged for show judges.

The Canaan Dog Club of the United Kingdom regards the Canaan as a generally healthy breed with no known hereditary problems and says breeders are responsible for keeping it that way. It encourages hip scoring from 12 months: the club knows of no hip dysplasia in UK dogs, but some dogs have less favourable scores. It also recommends a vet check for patellar luxation, which has no official scheme and can be done on puppies at eight weeks, and eye testing for progressive retinal atrophy (PRA), noting that problems are unlikely to show before three years of age. The British Canaan Dog Society encourages the same three checks on all breeding dogs. Testing lowers the risk of inherited disease but cannot guarantee a healthy puppy. You can look up recorded results on the RKC Health Test Results Finder.
