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 Irish Doodle puppy

Looking for Irish Doodle puppies for sale? Litters listed here come from an Irish Setter crossed with a Standard Poodle, or from a later generation of the same cross. Because the Irish Doodle is a crossbreed rather than an RKC-recognised breed, puppies in one litter can differ in size, coat and colour, so read the RKC profiles of both parent breeds before you enquire and be ready for a sizeable, energetic and quick-witted dog.

When you contact a breeder, ask for proof of each parent's health tests: above all the PRA rcd4 DNA test, which the RKC lists for both breeds, together with hip scores and a current eye certificate. See the puppies with their mother, check that each puppy has been microchipped and registered by eight weeks old, and take your time. A breeder who is happy to answer detailed questions is a good sign.

Health tests to ask about

The Irish Doodle has no RKC health scheme of its own. The RKC advises anyone breeding a crossbreed to carry out the tests recommended for both parent breeds, so ask to see results for each parent and check them on the RKC Health Test Results Finder.

One test stands out. The DNA test for progressive retinal atrophy rcd4, a late-onset form that leads to blindness, is on the RKC lists for both breeds. It is inherited as an autosomal recessive condition, so a puppy is affected only if it inherits a faulty copy from each parent; two untested parents could both be carriers. The other DNA tests are listed for one breed only, but testing that parent still matters because carriers can pass the gene on to puppies that may later be bred from.

Hip scoring and eye testing appear on both lists. BVA hip scores run from 0 to 106, lower being better, and each parent's score should be compared with the published figures for its own breed. The RKC advises an eye examination within 12 months before mating. The Standard Poodle Club, whose health scheme the RKC links to, keeps an open register for sebaceous adenitis, a skin disease diagnosed by biopsy, and requires members to test for it before breeding.
