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 Dobermann puppy
This page lists UK breeders on caninebreeder.co.uk advertising Dobermann puppies for sale or planned litters. Listings show what each breeder has supplied, so treat them as a starting point and check the facts. Before you commit, look up both parents on the RKC Health Test Results Finder for their vWD1 and DINGS2 DNA results, hip scores and eye tests. Ask separately about heart screening for dilated cardiomyopathy: it is not on the RKC's list for the breed, but the Dobermann Club puts it first among the breed's potential health issues. Walk away from adverts for white, 'pink' or other colours outside the standard, which the breed club does not support. Visit the litter and meet the mother; the club's code says no puppy should leave before eight weeks. An adult Dobermann needs more than two hours of exercise a day and steady training from the start. Our buyer safety guide explains how to spot scams.
Health tests to ask about
The RKC Dobermann breed page lists one good-practice test: a DNA test for von Willebrand disease type 1 (vWD1), an inherited bleeding disorder, which is also the only test in the RKC's Dobermann DNA package. Its best-practice list adds an eye examination at least once before breeding, for persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV); a DNA test for DINGS2; and hip scoring under the BVA/KC Hip Dysplasia Scheme. The RKC describes DINGS as an early-onset neurological disease whose signs, from around three weeks of age, include deafness, circling, a head tilt and poor balance. It describes both DINGS and vWD1 as autosomal recessive. The breed is in Breed Watch Category 1.
The Dobermann Club lists dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), a disease of the heart muscle, among the breed's main health issues and describes a Dobermann Breed Council DCM screening programme in which dogs were examined by veterinary cardiologists as part of a research trial. A 2017 article on its PHPV page says puppies can be tested for this congenital eye condition from about 8 to 12 weeks, and argues that money is better spent on annual heart testing than on repeat eye tests. The club's code of ethics encourages testing breeding stock for hip dysplasia, PHPV and vWD.
