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 Large Munsterlander puppy

Looking for Large Munsterlander puppies for sale? The breed has only a small following in the UK: the breed club estimates that 50 to 100 puppies are born each year, so waiting lists are usual and it pays to plan well ahead. Breeders listed here supply their own details, so check everything yourself. Ask for both parents' hip scores, elbow grades, HUU DNA results and a recent eye certificate, and confirm them on the RKC Health Test Results Finder. See the litter with its mother, and do not hand over money for a puppy you have not met. Be honest about the commitment: this is a large, energetic gundog, the RKC suggests more than two hours of exercise a day, and the breed club says a solid recall is essential. See other gundog breeders and our buyer safety guide.

Health tests to ask about

The RKC's health guidance lists three Good Practice measures for the Large Munsterlander, the minimum it strongly recommends before breeding: prioritising genetic diversity, hip scoring and elbow grading. Hip scores run from 0 to 106, lower being better, and the RKC advises choosing breeding stock around or below the breed median; the BVA recommends breeding only from dogs with an elbow grade of 0. Best Practice adds a DNA test for hyperuricosuria (HUU), a recessive condition in which uric acid can form urinary stones, and an eye examination under the BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme. The BVA's known inherited eye diseases list names hereditary cataract for the breed. There is no DNA test for it, so the Large Munsterlander Club says dogs used for breeding should be eye tested every year. The club also says it requires breeders to complete all the Best Practice tests, and its members may mate only HUU-tested dogs.

Since 6 January 2025, the RKC registers imported Large Munsterlanders, and litters by overseas sires, only if the dog or sire is proven HUU clear or carrier, or is hereditarily clear, and identified carriers may be bred only to a clear or hereditarily clear partner. The breed is in Breed Watch Category 1.
