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 Brittany stud dog

Brittany stud dogs on this page are advertised by their owners. Before you book a mating, ask for the dog's hip score under the BVA/RKC Hip Dysplasia Scheme and compare it with the current breed median. Check his Royal Kennel Club registration, and ask for his registered name so you can look up his results on the RKC Health Test Results Finder. Run the pairing through the RKC's online inbreeding coefficient calculator to see how closely the two dogs are related; choosing a mate that keeps the figure low helps protect the breed's genetic diversity. It is also worth asking about his temperament, bloodlines and any working, field trial or show record. Agree the stud fee, the number of matings included and what happens if no puppies result, in writing, before your bitch travels.

Health tests for a Brittany stud

The Brittany Club of Great Britain's breed health co-ordinator reports that the breed remains healthy in the UK, but any breed can be affected by inherited conditions. The RKC Health Standard lists one screening test for the Brittany: hip scoring under the BVA/RKC Hip Dysplasia Scheme, at Best Practice level. At Good Practice level, the RKC breed page asks breeders to prioritise genetic diversity.

For hip scoring, a vet X-rays the dog once it is at least a year old and permanently identified by microchip (the RKC also accepts a tattoo). A pair of veterinary scrutineers from the scheme's panel scores each hip from 0 to 53, giving a total between 0 and 106; lower scores mean fewer signs of hip dysplasia. Breeders are advised to use dogs scoring around or below the breed median. Results for RKC-registered dogs are recorded by the RKC and shown on its Health Test Results Finder.

The breed club gave the annual breed average coefficient of inbreeding as 6.1% in March 2024, a figure it describes as low. The Brittany is in Breed Watch Category 1, meaning the RKC has not identified any breed-specific points of concern for judges. Health testing lowers risk but cannot guarantee that a puppy will never develop a condition.

Health tests and schemes for the Brittany (RKC):

  • Hip testing under the BVA/RKC Hip Dysplasia Scheme: RKC Best Practice
  • Prioritising genetic diversity, for example by checking the coefficient of inbreeding of a planned mating: RKC Good Practice
  • Breed Watch: Category 1 (no breed-specific points of concern)
