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 Tibetan Terrier puppy

When you look at Tibetan Terrier puppies for sale, start with the parents' paperwork. The RKC's Good Practice list for the breed includes DNA tests for NCL12, PLL, PRA (rcd4) and pituitary dwarfism, plus a hip score under the BVA/KC scheme. Best Practice adds the PRA3 test and an eye examination under the BVA/RKC/ISDS scheme. Ask to see the certificates themselves rather than a verbal summary. Meet the litter with its mother and ask how the puppies have been socialised. Plan for the long term too: the RKC gives the breed a lifespan of over 12 years and suggests up to an hour's exercise a day, and the long coat will mat without regular brushing. Licensed breeders must show their licence number in adverts, and an RKC-registered litter should come with registration paperwork. caninebreeder.co.uk does not vouch for individual breeders, so check every claim yourself.

Health tests to ask about

The RKC Health Standard groups pre-breeding tests into two tiers. Good Practice is the minimum the RKC strongly recommends, covering conditions of significant concern in the breed. Best Practice means completing those tests plus a further set for conditions that still matter but may be less common or more recently identified. For the Tibetan Terrier the list covers inherited eye disease (primary lens luxation and two forms of progressive retinal atrophy), neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, pituitary dwarfism and hip dysplasia. The breed clubs describe pituitary dwarfism as relatively new to the breed, and the Tibetan Terrier Association calls it a very debilitating condition in young puppies.

The Tibetan Terrier Association's code of ethics asks for breeding stock to be tested under the RKC schemes for the breed, and the Tibetan Terrier Breeder and Owners Club asks breeders to eye test their breeding dogs every year. Hip X-rays can be taken once a dog is a year old. Each hip is scored from 0 to 53, lower is better, and the BVA recommends breeding only from dogs with scores below or close to the breed median. Testing reduces risk but cannot guarantee a healthy puppy.

The breed is in Breed Watch Category 1, meaning the RKC has identified no visible concerns linked to conformation.
