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 a Basset Bleu De Gascogne stud dog

Basset Bleu de Gascogne stud dogs

In a breed with so few registrations a year, every mating shapes the gene pool, and the RKC's one Good Practice item for the Basset Bleu de Gascogne is prioritising genetic diversity. Before agreeing to use a stud, check that he is registered with the RKC so the litter can be registered. Then enter both dogs into the RKC inbreeding coefficient calculator, formerly known as Mate Select, and aim for a litter figure no higher than the breed average, and lower still if you can. Choosing a stud from lines less closely related to your bitch brings that figure down. Ask the owner about health problems among his relatives and any offspring, check anything recorded on the RKC Health Test Results Finder, and agree the fee, any repeat mating and the paperwork in writing before the bitch comes into season.

Health tests for a Basset Bleu De Gascogne stud

Basset Bleu de Gascogne health and testing

The RKC's Breed Watch places the Basset Bleu de Gascogne in Category 1: no breed-specific points of concern have been identified for show judges. That relates to visible conformation and does not mean individual dogs are free of inherited disease.

On its breed page, the RKC lists a single Good Practice item before breeding, prioritising genetic diversity. It lists no Best Practice screening scheme, offers no breed-specific DNA testing package and has no additional breed-specific breeding restrictions; the breed has no tests listed in the RKC Health Standard. With no screening scheme listed, the RKC's advice for this breed centres on inbreeding: its genetic diversity guidance asks breeders to produce litters with a coefficient of inbreeding no higher than the breed average and as low as is practical, which they can check with its online calculators. The breed page also gives contact details for a Breed Health Co-ordinator, who collects and shares health information for the breed.

What the RKC lists for this breed

  • Good Practice: prioritising genetic diversity (litter coefficient of inbreeding at or below the breed average)
  • Best Practice: no additional schemes listed
  • Breed-specific DNA testing package: none offered by the RKC
  • Additional breed-specific breeding restrictions: none
  • Breed Watch: Category 1
  • Register: RKC Imported Breed Register
