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 Foxhound puppy

Searching for Foxhound puppies for sale? RKC-registered Foxhound litters are few and far between, so a directory that brings breeders together in one place can save you time. Each listing on caninebreeder.co.uk shows the breeder's name, location, website, social links and categories, and you contact the breeder directly. Ask each one how the mating was planned, what its coefficient of inbreeding is, and whether you can see the puppies with their mother. Think carefully about your home and routine before you enquire, since this is a large hound that the RKC suggests needs more than two hours of exercise daily. If no litter is available near you, joining a waiting list or making a longer journey may be the best route. We are an independent directory and do not inspect or endorse breeders, so please make your own checks before you buy.

Health tests to ask about

The Royal Kennel Club does not list any breed-specific DNA tests or screening schemes for the Foxhound. Its one Good Practice recommendation for the breed is to prioritise genetic diversity when planning a litter. That advice matters in a breed with only a handful of RKC registrations each year, because a small registered population can lose variety quickly if the same few dogs are bred from again and again.

In practice this means checking the coefficient of inbreeding (COI) of a planned mating with the RKC's inbreeding coefficient calculator, aiming for a figure no higher than the breed's yearly average, and lower where possible, and not relying heavily on one popular sire. The COI is the likelihood that a puppy receives two copies of the same gene from an ancestor that appears on both sides of its pedigree, so a lower figure means less inbreeding.

The Foxhound is in Breed Watch Category 1: show judges have not been asked to watch for any extra points of concern in this breed beyond the breed standard itself. Buyers can look up any results recorded for a registered dog on the RKC Health Test Results Finder. No test or scheme can guarantee that an individual puppy will stay healthy.

Health tests and schemes for the Foxhound (RKC):

  • No breed-specific DNA tests or BVA/KC screening schemes are listed by the RKC at present
  • Prioritising genetic diversity, for example by checking the coefficient of inbreeding of a planned mating (RKC Good Practice)
  • Breed Watch: Category 1
