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 Bull Terrier stud dog

Before using a Bull Terrier stud dog, ask his owner for his BAER hearing result and his current heart and kidney certificates from the breed club schemes. Check his Royal Kennel Club registration and confirm his colour, because the RKC will not register merle puppies from matings on or after 1 March 2011, or any puppies from merle to merle matings born on or after 1 January 2013. Use the RKC's online inbreeding coefficient calculator to see how closely the pair are related; a lower figure helps protect the breed's genetic diversity. If you plan to mate a Bull Terrier with a Miniature Bull Terrier to produce Miniature puppies, the RKC requires approval before the mating. Agree the stud fee, repeat-mating terms and what happens if no puppies result, in writing, before the visit.

Health tests for a Bull Terrier stud

The RKC lists white Bull Terriers among dogs carrying the extreme piebald gene, in which congenital deafness is a recognised problem. The RKC places prioritising genetic diversity at Good Practice level and hearing testing under the RKC BAER Scheme, including litter screening, at Best Practice. A BAER test checks whether the brain responds to sound; the RKC says the best age to test a litter is around five and a half to six and a half weeks.

Also at Best Practice, the RKC points breeders to breed club heart and kidney schemes hosted by the Miniature Bull Terrier Club. The heart scheme uses a cardiologist listening with a stethoscope at 12 months to screen for mitral valve dysplasia and aortic stenosis. The kidney scheme uses a urine protein to creatinine ratio (UPC) test at 12 months, then yearly for breeding dogs, to screen for familial nephropathy. The RKC cannot yet record results from these club schemes.

The Bull Terrier is in Breed Watch Category 2, used for breeds where exaggerated conformation causes visible concerns that judges should watch more closely; the listed point of concern is misplaced canine teeth. The RKC does not register merle puppies from matings on or after 1 March 2011, citing risks to sight and hearing. No test can guarantee a healthy puppy.
