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 Jug puppy

Jug puppies come from a Jack Russell Terrier and a Pug, or from Jug parents, so a single litter can hold puppies with different face shapes, coats and personalities. Before choosing, spend time with the parents. Look at their build and temperament and, above all, listen to how the Pug side breathes at rest and after moving about. Ask for each parent's health results and check any registered dog on the RKC Health Test Results Finder. A puppy with a short face will need the same care in hot weather as a Pug, and one that takes after the terrier side may keep some of the Jack Russell's hunting instinct. All puppies must be microchipped and registered by eight weeks old, and a licensed breeder must show their licence number in adverts. A Jug cannot be shown at breed shows, but it can join the RKC Activity Register for agility, obedience, rally and similar events.

Health tests to ask about

The RKC sets no health tests for the Jug itself, so screening should follow what it recommends for each parent breed. For the Jack Russell, Good Practice is a DNA test for primary lens luxation (PLL), a painful eye condition that can lead to blindness. Best Practice adds DNA tests for two balance disorders, late onset ataxia (LOA) and spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA), plus an eye examination. For the Pug, Good Practice is a breathing assessment for brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) under the RKC and University of Cambridge Respiratory Function Grading (RFG) scheme, together with an eye examination. Best Practice adds the DNA-based risk test for Pug dog encephalitis (PDE) and hip scoring.

PLL and LOA are autosomal recessive, and the RKC suggests SCA is inherited the same way, so a puppy is affected only if it inherits the faulty gene from both parents. In a first cross, a Jack Russell parent that tests clear cannot pass on the variants tested for. Where both parents are Jugs, both need testing. The RFG scheme is open only to a set list of breeds, which includes the Pug but not the Jug, while the BVA eye and hip schemes accept crossbreeds. Whatever a Jug's face shape, watch for noisy breathing or heavy panting.
