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 Norwegian Buhund puppy

Searching for Norwegian Buhund puppies for sale? The breed club describes the Buhund as unusual in the UK, so it pays to start early and speak to breeders before a litter arrives. Each breeder listed on caninebreeder.co.uk shows a name, website, social media, location and categories, so you can compare kennels and contact them directly. Ask which health tests the parents have had: for this breed the RKC lists an HCA DNA test, a BVA/RKC/ISDS eye examination and BVA/RKC hip scoring. Try to see the puppies with their mother, and expect a puppy to be at least eight weeks old before it leaves. Be honest with yourself about the exercise, training and company a lively herding spitz needs. We are an independent directory and do not inspect or endorse breeders, so please make your own checks.

Health tests to ask about

The RKC lists three health tests for the Norwegian Buhund, all at Best Practice level: a DNA test for hereditary cerebellar ataxia (HCA), an eye examination under the BVA/RKC/ISDS Eye Scheme, and hip scoring under the BVA/RKC Hip Dysplasia Scheme. At Good Practice level, it asks breeders to prioritise genetic diversity. HCA affects coordination, causing uncoordinated movement and head tremors, and signs can appear from about 12 weeks of age. It is inherited as an autosomal recessive condition, so carriers show no signs but can pass the gene on; mating a carrier only to a clear dog avoids producing puppies affected by HCA.

The Buhund is on the Eye Scheme's January 2026 list of breeds with known inherited eye disease, for hereditary cataract, and the RKC advises an eye examination within the 12 months before mating. A dog must be at least one year old to be hip scored under the BVA scheme, and lower scores are better; the breed club's code notes that hips are scored once in a dog's life. The club's 2021 international owner survey also recorded other eye conditions, digestive problems, hypothyroidism, epilepsy and cancer in a minority of dogs. The breed is in Breed Watch Category 1. Health testing lowers risk but cannot guarantee a healthy puppy.

Health tests and schemes for the Norwegian Buhund:

  • DNA test for hereditary cerebellar ataxia (HCA) (RKC Best Practice)
  • Eye testing using the BVA/RKC/ISDS Eye Scheme (RKC Best Practice)
  • Hip testing (for hip dysplasia) using the BVA/RKC Hip Dysplasia Scheme (RKC Best Practice)
  • Prioritising genetic diversity, for example by checking the inbreeding coefficient of a planned mating (RKC Good Practice)
  • Breed Watch: Category 1
