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 Sealyham Terrier puppy

Looking for Sealyham Terrier puppies for sale? The Sealyham is a small white terrier from Wales and a vulnerable native breed; only 111 were registered with the RKC in 2025, so litters are few and waiting lists are normal. Puppies grow into sturdy, alert adults that need up to an hour's exercise a day, and because the coat does not shed it needs regular combing plus stripping or clipping. Ask to see the parents' PLL DNA results and recent BVA/KC/ISDS eye certificates, then check them on the RKC Health Test Results Finder. Meet the puppies with their mother, confirm the RKC registration and microchip details, and get the terms of sale in writing. The Sealyham Terrier Club's puppy co-ordinators can also help. Listings on caninebreeder.co.uk come from breeders themselves, so make your own checks.

Health tests to ask about

The RKC places the Sealyham Terrier in Breed Watch Category 1, so no conformation-related points of concern are currently flagged for show judges. Its breed page sets out pre-breeding screening in two tiers. As Good Practice, breeders should prioritise genetic diversity and DNA test for primary lens luxation (PLL). As Best Practice, they should also have breeding dogs eye tested under the BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme.

In PLL the fibres that hold the lens in place break down, so the lens slips out of position. The RKC describes it as painful and blinding; it can cause glaucoma, and full luxation usually happens between three and eight years of age. It is autosomal recessive: a dog with two copies of the faulty gene is affected, while one copy makes a carrier without signs. The RKC's Sealyham DNA package covers PLL, and the RKC records PLL results for the breed. Under the BVA eye scheme, a BVA-appointed panellist examines the eyes and certifies the dog as clinically affected or unaffected; the RKC advises examining breeding dogs within 12 months before mating. The Midland Sealyham Terrier Club also mentions degenerative myelopathy among conditions seen in the breed.
