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 Russian Black Terrier puppy

Russian Black Terrier puppies and planned litters on this page are advertised by UK breeders who list with caninebreeder.co.uk. We do not check every advert, so do your own checks before paying anything. Ask for both parents' BVA/RKC hip scores and elbow grades and their DNA results for HUU, JLPP and prcd-PRA; for RKC-registered dogs you can confirm them on the Health Test Results Finder. Visit the litter and see the puppies with their mother, and ask how they are being introduced to people, noises and handling, which matters in a large dog with a protective streak. Licensed breeders in England cannot sell a puppy under 8 weeks old. If nothing is advertised today, contact Russian Black Terrier breeders about planned litters, and read our buyer safety guide before you commit.

Health tests to ask about

The RKC's Breed Watch places the Russian Black Terrier in Category 1, meaning no breed-specific points of concern have been flagged for show judges beyond those the standard already covers. That says nothing about inherited disease in individual dogs, which is why the RKC Health Standard sets out tests to complete before breeding. Good Practice is the minimum the RKC strongly recommends; Best Practice means completing both lists.

Hip and elbow X-rays under the BVA hip and elbow schemes can only be taken once the dog is at least a year old and microchipped. Hips are scored from 0 to 106 and compared with the breed median; elbows are graded 0 to 3. The three Best Practice tests are DNA tests. HUU can lead to bladder stones, JLPP affects the nerves to the voice box and hind legs from a few weeks of age, and prcd-PRA causes gradual loss of sight. All three are autosomal recessive, so two carriers can produce affected puppies. The RKC sells a breed-specific DNA package covering HUU and JLPP, and results for registered dogs appear on the Health Test Results Finder.

Good Practice (RKC)
- Prioritising genetic diversity (check the inbreeding coefficient of the planned mating)
- Hip testing (for hip dysplasia) using the BVA/RKC Hip Dysplasia Scheme
- Elbow testing (for elbow dysplasia) using the BVA/RKC Elbow Dysplasia Scheme

Best Practice (RKC), in addition
- DNA test for Hyperuricosuria (HUU)
- DNA test for Juvenile laryngeal paralysis and polyneuropathy (JLPP)
- Progressive retinal atrophy (prcd-PRA)
