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 Jackshund puppy

When you browse Jackshund puppies for sale, remember that you are choosing a mix of two breeds rather than a breed with a written standard. One puppy may take after the long, low-set Dachshund while a littermate looks more like the longer-legged Jack Russell, so study both parents' build and not just the puppies. Back health is the first question on the Dachshund side: ask for the Dachshund parent's IVDD grade, then look at the Jack Russell's PLL result and current eye certificates for both parents. Both parent breeds were developed as hunters, so ask how the litter has been socialised with people and household noise. Visit more than once if you can, watch the mother with her puppies and make sure your puppy is microchipped by eight weeks. A Jackshund cannot join the RKC Breed Register, but the RKC Activity Register accepts crossbreeds for sports such as agility and obedience.

Health tests to ask about

The Jackshund is a crossbreed, so the RKC has no health standard or Breed Watch category for it. The RKC advises crossbreed buyers to ask which breed-related health tests both parents have had, using its lists for each parent breed as the benchmark.

The Dachshund side carries the main back risk. For the Miniature Smooth Haired variety, the RKC lists spine screening under its IVDD scheme, run with Dachshund Health UK, as Good Practice. The scheme X-rays RKC-registered Dachshunds aged 24 to 48 months and grades disc calcification from 0 to 3. In the 2018 DachsLife survey cited by the RKC, IVDD was reported in 29.9% of Miniature Smooth Haired Dachshunds over three years old, the highest of the six varieties. The scheme covers Dachshunds only, so it applies to the Dachshund parent, not to Jackshund puppies.

On the Jack Russell side, the RKC lists a DNA test for primary lens luxation, a painful inherited eye condition that can lead to blindness, as Good Practice, with DNA tests for two forms of ataxia and eye examination as Best Practice. The BVA eye scheme is open to crossbreeds. The RKC will not register Dachshund puppies from two dapple parents because of risks to sight and hearing, so ask whether either parent is dapple.
