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 an Intermediate Xoloitzcuintle (Mexican Hairless) puppy

The Xoloitzcuintli Club of America cautions that Xolo puppies are not available on demand, so be prepared to wait and perhaps travel to meet a breeder of the Intermediate. This size sits between the Miniature and the Standard, at 36–45 cm under the RKC standard, and a single litter can include both hairless and coated puppies. Coated puppies are the same breed, with a short, flat coat, and should have a full set of teeth. Before you commit, look at the parents' hip, elbow and eye results, confirm the puppy will be microchipped and registered by eight weeks, and ask whether RKC registration comes with it. Because the Intermediate is on the Imported Breed Register, showing is limited to certain classes and events. The standard allows the breed to be wary of strangers but never aggressive, so notice how the parents greet you. Check every health claim yourself rather than relying on an advert.

Health tests to ask about

The RKC places the Intermediate in Breed Watch Category 1, meaning no breed-specific points of concern have been identified for judges beyond those the standard already covers. Breed Watch deals with visible conformation in the show ring; it does not mean the breed is free of inherited disease.

The RKC health standard sets Good Practice for this breed as prioritising genetic diversity, and Best Practice adds hip, elbow and eye screening. Hips and elbows are X-rayed once a dog is at least a year old and microchipped. The BVA scores each hip and totals them from 0 to 106, with lower scores showing less evidence of dysplasia; elbows are graded 0 to 3, and the BVA advises breeding only from grade 0 dogs. Eye examinations under the BVA/KC/ISDS scheme are carried out by BVA-appointed veterinary ophthalmologists. The RKC has no breed-specific DNA testing package for the Intermediate at present, though individual DNA tests are available.

The standard allows hairless dogs to lack a few teeth or have rotated teeth, so dentition is worth discussing with any breeder. With a small UK population, checking the inbreeding coefficient of a planned litter against the breed average is a sensible step.

  • Good Practice: Prioritising genetic diversity (RKC inbreeding coefficient calculator)
  • Best Practice: Hip testing using the BVA/KC Hip Dysplasia Scheme
  • Best Practice: Elbow testing using the BVA/KC Elbow Dysplasia Scheme
  • Best Practice: Eye testing using the BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme
  • No breed-specific RKC DNA testing package; individual DNA tests available
  • Breed Watch: Category 1
