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 Glen Of Imaal Terrier puppy

This page lists UK breeders on caninebreeder.co.uk with Glen of Imaal Terrier puppies for sale or litters planned. The Glen is a vulnerable native breed with only 61 RKC registrations in 2025, so litters are scarce and waiting is normal; contact breeders early and be flexible. Listings show what each breeder has told us, so check the details yourself. Ask to see the mother, confirm the parents' PRA crd3 results and eye examinations, and look both parents up on the RKC Health Test Results Finder. The puppy should come with its RKC registration, pedigree and diet sheet. If you have never met a Glen, the association's Meet a Glen page points to dog shows with Glen classes, game fairs and Discover Dogs. Glens mature slowly, so plan short outings and keep the puppy off stairs in the early months. Our buyer safety guide explains how to avoid scams.

Health tests to ask about

The RKC Glen of Imaal Terrier page sets out brief requirements under the Health Standard. Good practice is to prioritise genetic diversity, which carries extra weight in a vulnerable breed that recorded between 36 and 115 RKC registrations a year from 2016 to 2025. Best practice adds the DNA test for progressive retinal atrophy (PRA crd3) and eye examination under the BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme. The crd3 test is the only one in the RKC's DNA testing package for the breed. The Glen is in Breed Watch Category 1, meaning no conformation-related concerns are flagged for judges.

The Glen of Imaal Terrier Association's health page explains that crd3 is late onset, with sight lost later in life, and that the DNA test shows a dog as clear, carrier or affected. Its code of ethics requires parents to be DNA tested unless hereditarily clear and asks that carriers and affected dogs are mated only to clear partners. The association and the Enthusiasts and Fanciers of the Glen, the two UK breed clubs, are working with the RKC and its geneticists to find out how common degenerative myelopathy, a spinal disease affecting the hind legs, is in the breed; this is not an RKC requirement. Its general health page also covers elbows, hip scoring and seasonal hair loss in bitches.

  • Prioritising genetic diversity (RKC good practice)
  • DNA test: progressive retinal atrophy, PRA crd3 (RKC best practice)
  • BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme (RKC best practice)
  • Breed Watch: Category 1
