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 Bulldog stud dog

This page lists Bulldog stud dogs offered by UK owners. Before agreeing a mating, ask for the dog's grade under the Respiratory Function Grading scheme run by the RKC with the University of Cambridge; the RKC advises against breeding from a grade 3 dog and recommends reassessment every two years. Ask too for his eye certificate, HUU DNA result and BVA/KC hip and elbow results, and confirm them on the RKC Health Test Results Finder. If one partner carries HUU, pair it with a clear dog so no affected puppies are produced. Make sure the stud is RKC-registered and not merle, a colour the RKC will not register. Check the proposed pairing with the RKC's inbreeding coefficient calculator, known to many breeders as Mate Select. A Bulldog Breed Council health certificate adds evidence of breathing, heart and eye checks. Agree the fee and terms in writing, and read our guide to stud dogs and stud services.

Health tests for a Bulldog stud

The Bulldog is in Breed Watch Category 3, the top tier of the RKC's system, for breeds whose exaggerated build causes visible health problems. The Bulldog points of concern that show judges look out for include laboured or noisy breathing, eyelids turned inwards or outwards, sore or scarred skin folds, a heavy roll over the nose, pinched nostrils, a missing, screw, inverted or tight tail, excess weight, eye irritation and unsound movement. Under Breed Watch rules, a Category 3 Best of Breed winner at a general or group championship show has to pass a check by the show vet before it can compete in the group, and every Category 3 dog needs a vet check before a Champion title is confirmed.

Like other flat-faced breeds, the Bulldog is at greater risk of brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS), which the University of Cambridge BOAS pages explain in detail. The RKC also highlights skin fold infections, crowded teeth and eye problems. The Bulldog Breed Council's own scheme issues bronze, silver and gold certificates based on vet examinations, including heart checks, plus respiratory grading, eye results and the HUU DNA test. Results from the RKC schemes can be checked on the Health Test Results Finder, and our guide to health-tested breeding stock explains how they work.
