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 German Spitz (Klein) puppy

Looking for German Spitz (Klein) puppies for sale? The Klein is a small, bright and often vocal dog with a heavy double coat, so it is worth taking time to find the right litter rather than the first one advertised. Breeders listed on caninebreeder.co.uk show their name, website, social media, location and categories, which makes it easy to build a shortlist and contact them directly. When you enquire, ask for eye certificates for both parents, arrange to see the puppies with their mother, and confirm that your puppy will be at least eight weeks old when it comes home. Tell each breeder whether you want a companion, a show prospect or a partner for mini agility. Remember that adult height cannot be guaranteed. We are an independent directory and do not inspect or endorse breeders, so please make your own checks.

Health tests to ask about

The RKC breed page lists one screening test for the German Spitz (Klein): an eye examination under the BVA/RKC/ISDS Eye Scheme, at Best Practice level, and the RKC Health Standard (August 2026) includes the same test. At Good Practice level, the RKC asks breeders to prioritise genetic diversity, for example by checking the inbreeding coefficient of a planned litter. It recommends eye examinations within the 12 months before mating. The German Spitz is not on the BVA's January 2026 list of breeds with known inherited eye diseases, but the scheme is open to all dogs.

The German Spitz Club of Great Britain lists retinal dysplasia (including the multifocal form), progressive retinal atrophy (PRA), patella luxation and fitting, including idiopathic epilepsy, among its health concerns. The German Spitz Breeders and Owners Club names PRA and retinal dysplasia as the main eye concerns. The first club's code of ethics requires an eye certificate from the 12 months before mating and recommends litter screening, hip scoring, patella scoring and testing for von Willebrand disease. The BVA does not run a patella scheme.

The Klein is in Breed Watch Category 2: judges are asked to look for visible eye irritation or discomfort, such as redness, discharge or tear staining. Health testing lowers risk but cannot guarantee a healthy puppy.

Health tests and schemes for the German Spitz (Klein):

  • Eye testing using the BVA/RKC/ISDS Eye Scheme (RKC Best Practice)
  • Prioritising genetic diversity, for example with the RKC inbreeding coefficient calculator (RKC Good Practice)
  • Eye Scheme litter screening of puppies (German Spitz Club of Great Britain recommendation)
  • Hip scoring under the BVA/RKC Hip Dysplasia Scheme, patella scoring and testing for von Willebrand disease (German Spitz Club of Great Britain recommendations)
  • Breed Watch: Category 2
