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 Picardy Sheepdog puppy
Searching for Picardy Sheepdog puppies for sale in the UK? This rugged French herding breed is still on the RKC Imported Breed Register, so you may need to be patient. Use caninebreeder.co.uk to find breeders by location. Each profile gives the kennel name, website, social media links, location and categories, so you can contact breeders directly. Before you put down a deposit, ask to see hip, elbow and eye results for both parents, and arrange to see the litter with its mother. Under the licensing rules in England, a licensed breeder may not sell a puppy under eight weeks old or show one to a buyer without its mother. Tell each breeder whether you want a companion or a partner for obedience, agility or working trials. We are an independent directory and do not inspect or endorse breeders, so please carry out your own checks.
Health tests to ask about
On the RKC breed page, the Good Practice entry for the Picardy Sheepdog is prioritising genetic diversity, which is the minimum the RKC expects before breeding. Three screening tests sit at Best Practice level, and the RKC Health Standard lists the same three: hip scoring, elbow grading and an eye examination.
Hip and elbow X-rays can be taken once a dog is at least a year old. Hips are scored from 0 to 106, and lower is better; the BVA notes that breeding from dogs scoring below the published breed mean or median reduces the risk of hip dysplasia but does not remove it. Elbows are graded 0 to 3, and the BVA Canine Health Schemes recommend breeding only from grade 0 dogs. The breed is not on the BVA's January 2026 list of breeds with known inherited eye diseases, but the eye examination still looks for both inherited and non-inherited conditions.
The RKC has no DNA testing package specific to this breed and sets no additional breeding restrictions for it. The breed is in Breed Watch Category 1, meaning no breed-specific points of concern have been flagged for judges. Health testing lowers risk but cannot guarantee a healthy puppy.
