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 Cardigan Welsh Corgi stud dog

A Cardigan stud dog should be RKC registered, with a known PRA-rcd3 status and current results under the BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme and the BVA/KC Hip Dysplasia Scheme. The RKC says a carrier should only be mated to a bitch that is DNA-tested clear or hereditarily clear, and since January 2025 it registers litters by overseas sires only when the sire's status is proven. The CWCA's code of ethics asks members to test breeding stock for the merle gene and to mate any merle carrier only to a tricolour. With fewer than 100 registrations a year recently, every mating affects the gene pool, so check the pairing with the RKC inbreeding coefficient calculator, formerly offered through the Kennel Club's Mate Select service, and aim at or below the breed average. Agree the fee and terms in writing. Our stud dogs guide has more.

Health tests for a Cardigan Welsh Corgi stud

The RKC's pre-breeding advice for the Cardigan has two tiers. At Good Practice level it asks breeders to prioritise genetic diversity, which matters in a breed with fewer than 100 registrations in each of the last three years. At Best Practice level it adds a DNA test for PRA-rcd3, an eye examination and hip scoring.

PRA-rcd3 is a recessive form of progressive retinal atrophy that the RKC describes as unique to the Cardigan. Affected puppies can show night blindness from about six weeks, and most are completely blind by one to two years of age. Since 6 January 2025, imported Cardigans and litters by overseas sires can only be RKC registered if the dog or sire has a proven PRA-rcd3 status (clear, carrier or hereditarily clear), and the RKC says identified carriers should be mated only to Cardigans that are DNA-tested clear or hereditarily clear. The RKC's breed-specific DNA package for the Cardigan covers this test. The CWCA's code of ethics goes further: it expects all UK breeding stock to be shown clear of PRA on the RKC database, by test or by descent, and asks members to DNA test for colour, including merle, and for the fluff coat.

  • Genetic diversity: prioritise it and check the litter's inbreeding coefficient (RKC Good Practice)
  • DNA test for progressive retinal atrophy (PRA-rcd3) (RKC Best Practice; proven status required for imports and overseas sires)
  • BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme (RKC Best Practice)
  • BVA/KC Hip Dysplasia Scheme (RKC Best Practice)
  • DNA tests for colour (pink, liver and merle) and fluff coat (CWCA code of ethics, not an RKC listing)
  • Breed Watch: Category 1, no breed-specific points of concern
