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.
Using an Australian Terrier stud dog
This page lists Australian Terrier stud dogs offered by their owners. With a small UK population, every choice of stud affects the breed's genetic diversity, and the RKC identifies popular sires used for large numbers of litters as a major cause of lost diversity. Before agreeing a mating, check that the dog is RKC registered and carries no endorsements that would prevent the puppies being registered. Run the pairing through the RKC's inbreeding coefficient calculator (Mate Select) and aim for a COI at or below the breed average. The RKC lists no health schemes for this breed, so ask what veterinary checks the dog has had and what is known about health in his relatives. Put the fee, what happens if no puppies are born and any repeat-mating terms in a written contract, because the RKC does not rule on the terms of a mating.
Health tests for an Australian Terrier stud
The RKC does not list any breed-specific health screening schemes or DNA tests for the Australian Terrier. The one good-practice measure on its breed page is prioritising genetic diversity. The RKC has no breed-specific DNA testing package for the breed at present, although its individual DNA tests can still be ordered.
Genetic diversity matters in a breed with so few registrations each year. The RKC advises breeders to aim for puppies whose coefficient of inbreeding (COI) is no higher than the breed average and, where possible, well below it. Its online calculators show the COI of a proposed mating next to the breed average, which the RKC recalculates each June.
Having no listed scheme does not mean the breed is free of health problems. Ask breeders what veterinary checks their breeding dogs have had, how long related dogs have lived and whether any conditions have appeared in their lines, and look up recorded results on the RKC Health Test Results Finder. For concerns about a particular condition, the RKC suggests speaking to your vet or the breed health co-ordinator.
