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 Swedish Lapphund puppy

When you find Swedish Lapphund puppies for sale, begin with the pedigree. The breed is on the RKC Imported Breed Register and the RKC's Good Practice advice for it centres on genetic diversity, so the litter's coefficient of inbreeding is a sensible first question, followed by whether the parents have had any eye or hip examinations. The puppies may be bear-brown, black, brown, or black and brown, sometimes with white marks on the chest, feet or tail tip, and will grow a weather-resistant coat with a ruff and a dense undercoat. Meet them with their mother, check that your puppy is microchipped and registered on a database before collection, and ask for feeding and care notes and any RKC registration papers. Expect the breeder to ask you plenty of questions as well.

Health tests to ask about

The RKC's only Good Practice item for the Swedish Lapphund is prioritising genetic diversity, and it does not currently offer a breed-specific DNA test package. That puts the emphasis on how closely related the parents are. The RKC's genetic diversity guidance asks breeders to aim for puppies with a coefficient of inbreeding at or below the breed's annual average, and asks stud dog owners to limit how often a dog is used.

On Breed Watch, the RKC places the breed in Category 1, for breeds whose conformation raises no visible health concerns. Judges have no breed-specific points of concern beyond those routinely covered by the standard.

The breed information on the Lapinkoira Association of Great Britain site, supplied by the Lapphund Club of Finland, names epilepsy, hip dysplasia and progressive retinal atrophy (PRA) among conditions found in some breeding stock and encourages breeders to examine their dogs regularly. The RKC does not list tests for these conditions for the breed, but the BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme is open to all dogs and the BVA also runs a hip scheme, so it is reasonable to ask a breeder whether they have used either.

What the RKC lists for the Swedish Lapphund:

  • Good Practice: prioritising genetic diversity
  • No breed-specific DNA test package offered by the RKC at present
  • Breed Watch: Category 1 (no breed-specific points of concern)
