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 Parson Russell Terrier puppy

Looking for Parson Russell Terrier puppies for sale? Only a few hundred dogs of this vulnerable native breed are registered with the RKC each year, so litters can be hard to find and it pays to contact breeders early. Every breeder on caninebreeder.co.uk shows a name, website, social media, location and categories, so you can compare kennels before you pick up the phone. Ask for DNA results for late onset ataxia and primary lens luxation on both parents and meet the puppies with their mother. In England, licensed breeders may not sell a puppy under eight weeks old. Tell each breeder whether you want a companion, a show dog or a terrier for working or sport, so they can help you choose. We are an independent directory and do not inspect or endorse breeders, so please make your own checks and read our buyer safety guide.

Health tests to ask about

On its breed page the RKC lists prioritising genetic diversity and two DNA tests at Good Practice level for the Parson Russell Terrier: late onset ataxia (LOA) and primary lens luxation (PLL). Best Practice adds a DNA test for spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) and an eye examination under the BVA/RKC/ISDS Eye Scheme. The August 2026 RKC Health Standard matches this.

LOA and SCA both cause progressive problems with coordination and balance; the RKC says signs of LOA begin between 6 and 12 months of age, and SCA can appear from 2 to 6 months. PLL is a painful condition in which the lens slips out of place, which can lead to glaucoma and loss of sight. LOA and PLL are autosomal recessive, and SCA is thought to be inherited the same way, so a puppy is affected only if it inherits the faulty gene from both parents. The Eye Scheme's January 2026 list of breeds with known inherited eye disease includes the Parson Russell for PLL.

In a vulnerable native breed with a small gene pool, careful control of inbreeding matters. The breed is in Breed Watch Category 1, so no breed-specific points of concern have been flagged for show judges. Testing lowers risk but cannot guarantee a healthy puppy.
