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.

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 Goldendoodle puppy

Goldendoodle puppies vary more than puppies of a recognised breed, so meet the parents before you choose a litter. Puppies from a Golden Retriever and a Standard Poodle generally grow into sizeable, energetic dogs, while Mini Goldendoodles are smaller but harder to predict. Littermates can look quite different, and the RKC warns that some Poodle crosses end up with coats needing a lot of grooming, so plan and budget for regular grooming. Ask to see results for the tests the RKC recommends for each parent breed, including hips, elbows and eyes, and look the parents up on the RKC Health Test Results Finder where you can. Your puppy should be at least eight weeks old and microchipped when you collect it. A Goldendoodle cannot join the RKC Breed Register, but it can be entered on the Activity Register for events such as agility.

Health tests to ask about

A Goldendoodle can inherit conditions from either parent breed. The RKC advises anyone breeding a crossbreed to carry out the recommended tests for both breeds, because complex conditions such as hip and elbow dysplasia involve the same faulty genes across many breeds. The BVA lists the Goldendoodle among the dogs most commonly affected by both, and its screening schemes take crossbreeds as well as pedigrees.

For the Golden Retriever parent, the RKC's Good Practice list is a DNA test for GR_PRA2 plus hip, elbow and eye screening, the eye examination including gonioscopy, which checks the eye's drainage angle for pectinate ligament abnormality linked to glaucoma. Best Practice adds DNA tests for GR_PRA1 and ichthyosis. For the Standard Poodle, the RKC's Best Practice list is DNA tests for two forms of progressive retinal atrophy and von Willebrand disease type 1, with eye and hip screening; the Standard Poodle Club also requires members to test for sebaceous adenitis before breeding. The RKC describes all these DNA-tested conditions as autosomal recessive: a puppy is affected only if both parents pass on a faulty copy.

In Breed Watch the Golden Retriever is in Category 2, with excess weight as the point of concern, and the Standard Poodle is in Category 1. The Goldendoodle itself has no category.
