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 Cardigan Welsh Corgi puppy

Looking for Cardigan Welsh Corgi puppies for sale? The CWCA estimates that only around 100 Cardigan puppies are born in the UK in an average year, so litters are scarce and joining a waiting list is normal. The club suggests starting with the breed club and the RKC rather than a general web search, and speaking to several people in the breed before choosing a breeder. Puppies may be blue merle, brindle, red, sable or tricolour, often with white markings, but health and temperament should come before colour. Ask for PRA-rcd3 results for both parents, plus eye and hip results, and always meet the puppies with their mother. You may not meet the father, as breeders often use a stud from another kennel. Expect RKC registration papers, a pedigree and written feeding and care notes, and check every document yourself.

Health tests to ask about

The RKC's pre-breeding advice for the Cardigan has two tiers. At Good Practice level it asks breeders to prioritise genetic diversity, which matters in a breed with fewer than 100 registrations in each of the last three years. At Best Practice level it adds a DNA test for PRA-rcd3, an eye examination and hip scoring.

PRA-rcd3 is a recessive form of progressive retinal atrophy that the RKC describes as unique to the Cardigan. Affected puppies can show night blindness from about six weeks, and most are completely blind by one to two years of age. Since 6 January 2025, imported Cardigans and litters by overseas sires can only be RKC registered if the dog or sire has a proven PRA-rcd3 status (clear, carrier or hereditarily clear), and the RKC says identified carriers should be mated only to Cardigans that are DNA-tested clear or hereditarily clear. The RKC's breed-specific DNA package for the Cardigan covers this test. The CWCA's code of ethics goes further: it expects all UK breeding stock to be shown clear of PRA on the RKC database, by test or by descent, and asks members to DNA test for colour, including merle, and for the fluff coat.

  • Genetic diversity: prioritise it and check the litter's inbreeding coefficient (RKC Good Practice)
  • DNA test for progressive retinal atrophy (PRA-rcd3) (RKC Best Practice; proven status required for imports and overseas sires)
  • BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme (RKC Best Practice)
  • BVA/KC Hip Dysplasia Scheme (RKC Best Practice)
  • DNA tests for colour (pink, liver and merle) and fluff coat (CWCA code of ethics, not an RKC listing)
  • Breed Watch: Category 1, no breed-specific points of concern
