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.

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 Manchester Terrier puppy
Manchester Terrier puppies take patience to find. The RKC lists the breed as vulnerable, and only 74 were registered in 2025, so litters are few and may be reserved before they are born. The litters on this page are posted by breeders who advertise with us, so check each one yourself. Before you pay anything, ask to see both parents' DNA results for vWD1, JDCM and xanthinuria (type II) and a recent eye scheme certificate, and ask whether the puppies will be RKC registered. View the puppies with their mother, and expect a small, short-coated dog that needs up to an hour's exercise a day and a weekly groom. If nothing is listed near you, contact the breed clubs about planned matings, and read our buyer safety guide before you travel.
Health tests to ask about
The RKC sets out pre-breeding health screening for the Manchester Terrier in two tiers. Its Good Practice advice is to prioritise genetic diversity, which matters in a breed with such a small registered population. Its Best Practice list adds three DNA tests and an eye examination.
All three DNA-tested conditions are autosomal recessive: a dog is affected only if it inherits the faulty gene from both parents, while a dog with one copy shows no signs but is a carrier. Von Willebrand disease type I is a bleeding disorder; signs vary, but can include nosebleeds, bleeding gums and prolonged bleeding in season or after whelping. JDCM is a serious heart condition that normally appears at around six months of age; some dogs show no signs, while others become lethargic or reluctant to exercise, and it can cause sudden death. Xanthinuria type II causes crystals to build up in the urinary tract, which can cause problems passing urine or blood in the urine; severe cases may need surgery. For the eye scheme, the RKC advises examining breeding dogs within the 12 months before mating.
The breed is in Breed Watch Category 1, with no breed-specific points of concern flagged for show judges, and there are no extra breed-specific breeding restrictions.
