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 Jack Russell Terrier puppy

This page lists UK breeders on caninebreeder.co.uk with Jack Russell Terrier puppies for sale or litters planned. Listings show what breeders tell us, so confirm the details before you commit. The name Jack Russell has long been used loosely for small working terriers, so ask whether a puppy is RKC registered and bred to the breed standard or comes from unregistered working lines. For any litter, ask for both parents' DNA results for primary lens luxation, and ideally late onset ataxia and spinocerebellar ataxia, and check registered dogs on the RKC Health Test Results Finder. Expect a small, energetic terrier of 25 to 30 cm with a smooth, broken or rough coat, mainly white with black and/or tan markings. See the mother with her litter, never collect before eight weeks and read our buyer safety guide. You can also compare Parson Russell Terrier breeders.

Health tests to ask about

The RKC lists one Good Practice test for the Jack Russell Terrier, which it strongly recommends as the minimum before breeding: a DNA test for primary lens luxation (PLL). Its Best Practice list adds DNA tests for late onset ataxia (LOA) and spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA), and eye examination under the BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme. All three DNA conditions are autosomal recessive: a dog must inherit two faulty copies to be affected, so two carriers can produce affected puppies.

PLL is a painful eye disease in which the lens slips out of place, which can lead to glaucoma and blindness; full dislocation usually happens between three and eight years of age. LOA causes worsening loss of coordination and balance, usually first seen at 6 to 12 months. SCA is a progressive condition affecting parts of the spinal cord that carry information to the brain, with signs from as early as 2 to 6 months. The RKC sells a breed package covering all three DNA tests plus a DNA profile, and the Jack Russell Terrier Club says affected dogs should not be bred from. The breed is in Breed Watch Category 1, and the RKC has no additional breed-specific breeding restrictions. No test result can guarantee a puppy's future health.
