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 Keeshond puppy

Keeshond puppies for sale

Keeshond litters on this page are listed by breeders themselves, so treat each advert as a starting point and compare them carefully. Before you commit, ask for the parents' hip and elbow results, eye certificates and PHPT DNA status, and check them on the RKC Health Test Results Finder where the dogs are registered. Every dog in the UK has to be microchipped and registered on a database by eight weeks old, and licensed breeders in England may only show a puppy together with its mother. In England a local authority licence is needed to breed three or more litters in any 12-month period, unless none are sold, or to breed dogs while advertising a business of selling them (2018 regulations). A Keeshond puppy grows into a coat that needs brushing every day, so plan for that from the start. See also Keeshond breeders and our buyer safety guide.

Health tests to ask about

Keeshond health and testing

The RKC health standard sorts pre-breeding tests into two tiers. Good Practice is the minimum the RKC strongly recommends before breeding; Best Practice adds tests for conditions that still matter but may be less common or more recently identified. For the Keeshond, Good Practice covers genetic diversity, hips and elbows, and Best Practice adds eye examinations and a DNA test for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT).

PHPT happens when too much parathyroid hormone is released, pushing blood calcium above normal. The RKC describes it as autosomal dominant, so a single copy of the variant is enough to affect a dog, and signs usually appear later in life, at around 10 to 11 years. Since April 2025 the RKC has run an official DNA testing scheme for PHPT in the breed, recording results as clear, single affected or double affected. In 2023 the RKC described the condition as rare in the UK Keeshond population. Keeshond Health Matters, a health site shared by the two UK breed clubs, also highlights epilepsy and skin and coat problems.

The breed is in Breed Watch Category 2, with an excessively profuse coat listed as the point of concern for show judges. The RKC has no additional breed-specific breeding restrictions for the Keeshond.
