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 Bordoodle stud dog

A first-cross Bordoodle litter needs a pedigree Border Collie or Miniature Poodle as one parent, so judge a stud on his own breed's health record. A Border Collie stud should have a current eye certificate with a gonioscopy grade, hip and elbow results, a BAER result and the RKC's recommended DNA tests, including MDR1. A Miniature Poodle stud should have OC and prcd-PRA DNA results plus eye and hip screening. Check his RKC registration and each result on the Health Test Results Finder. The RKC's inbreeding coefficient calculator, once known as Mate Select, compares a registered dog with his breed average, but the RKC holds no such data for crossbreeds, so keep your own records when mating two Bordoodles and test both dogs for both breeds' lists. The RKC warns that a stud much larger than the bitch can cause mating and whelping problems. Never mate merle to merle, and agree terms in writing.

Health tests for a Bordoodle stud

There is no health scheme for the Bordoodle itself, so look at the tests the RKC lists for each parent breed. The Border Collie list is long. Its Good Practice minimum is an eye examination with gonioscopy, which looks for signs linked to a painful, blinding form of glaucoma. Best Practice adds hip and elbow scoring, BAER hearing tests (including litter screening) and eight DNA tests. For the Miniature Poodle, the RKC lists DNA tests for osteochondrodysplasia, a severe form of dwarfism, and prcd-PRA, which causes gradual loss of sight, plus eye and hip screening.

The RKC describes MDR1, OC and prcd-PRA as recessive: a puppy is affected only if it inherits the faulty gene from both parents. In a first cross each parent should have at least its own breed's tests, and the RKC suggests considering the tests for both breeds. When two Bordoodles are mated, both carry genes from both breeds, so both should be tested for the combined list. The MDR1 result matters to owners as well, because affected dogs can react badly to certain medicines such as ivermectin and loperamide. The RKC will not register a litter from two merle Border Collies because of the risk to sight and hearing, so avoid merle-to-merle Bordoodle matings too.
