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 Newfoundland puppy
Looking for Newfoundland puppies for sale? A fluffy Newfoundland puppy grows into a very big, heavy-coated adult that loves water and mud, so meet some grown dogs before you commit and make sure the breed suits your home. Breeders listed on caninebreeder.co.uk show their kennel name, website, social media, location and categories, which makes it easy to compare kennels and contact them directly. Ask each breeder for the parents' hip, elbow, cystinuria and heart results, and see the puppies with their mother. If you hope to try water or draught work, say so when you enquire. By law, every puppy must be microchipped and registered on a microchip database by eight weeks old. We are an independent directory and do not inspect or endorse breeders, so please make your own checks using our buyer safety guide. You can also browse Newfoundland breeders.
Health tests to ask about
The RKC Health Standard places three tests for the Newfoundland at Good Practice level: a DNA test for cystinuria (CU), and hip and elbow X-rays under the BVA/RKC schemes. An eye examination under the BVA/RKC/ISDS Eye Scheme is at Best Practice level, ideally within the 12 months before a mating. Cystinuria is autosomal recessive: a dog must inherit two copies of the faulty gene to be affected, while carriers with one copy are not affected but can pass it on. Affected dogs form cystine crystals and stones in the kidneys or bladder, and the RKC notes that Newfoundlands can show signs from six months to a year old. The DNA test identifies each dog as clear, carrier or affected.
The Health Standard also points to the Newfoundland Club's heart testing scheme. The club recommends screening all breeding stock, chiefly for subaortic stenosis, with a colour-flow echo-Doppler scan by a veterinary cardiologist, and the scan also checks for dilated cardiomyopathy. Official results are recorded only for dogs over 12 months old, and the club strongly advises rescanning stud dogs every two years.
The Newfoundland is in Breed Watch Category 2, and judges are asked to watch for eyelids that turn in or out. Health testing reduces risk but cannot guarantee a healthy puppy.
