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 Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy

Looking at Rhodesian Ridgeback puppies for sale? This page gathers litters from breeders who have listed with us, each showing a kennel name, website, social media, location and categories so you can shortlist and contact them directly. Before you commit, ask to see JME DNA results and hip and elbow results for both parents, and confirm that every puppy has been checked for dermoid sinus. Look at the ridge too: the breed club points out that it stays the same for life, and a ridgeless puppy will not develop one. In England, anyone who breeds three or more litters in 12 months and sells any of the puppies needs a licence from the local council and must show the licence number in adverts. We are an independent directory and do not inspect breeders; see how we verify listings and carry out your own checks.

Health tests to ask about

The RKC places the Rhodesian Ridgeback in Breed Watch Category 1, meaning no breed-specific points of concern have been flagged for show judges beyond those the breed standard covers.

The main breed-specific problem highlighted by the Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of Great Britain is dermoid sinus (DS), a defect that can be detected at birth. Puppies need checking over the whole area from the top of the head, down the neck and back, to the base of the tail. The club asks buyers to make sure their puppy was checked regularly by someone who knows the condition, because a sinus left undetected can become a painful abscess; once found, many vets can now remove it surgically. The club's breed health page also covers juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) and hip and elbow dysplasia, and the RKC notes that the breed has a breed club health scheme.

The RKC sells a breed-specific DNA package that covers JME, and results for registered dogs appear on the Health Test Results Finder. Screening lowers the risk of inherited problems but cannot guarantee a healthy puppy.

Good Practice
- DNA test for juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME)
- Elbow testing using the BVA/KC Elbow Dysplasia Scheme
- Hip testing using the BVA/KC Hip Dysplasia Scheme

Best Practice (in addition)
- DNA test for degenerative myelopathy (DM)
