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 Chinese Crested stud dog

This page lists Chinese Crested stud dogs offered by UK owners. Before arranging a mating, ask for the dog's DNA results for PLL and prcd-PRA and confirm them on the RKC Health Test Results Finder. Both conditions are autosomal recessive, and the RKC's breeding advice is that a clear dog can be mated to any dog without producing affected puppies, though some may be carriers, whereas carrier-to-carrier matings put puppies at risk. Check that the stud is registered with The Royal Kennel Club, note whether he is hairless or Powder Puff, and meet him if you can, since nervous temperament is a Breed Watch concern. The RKC lists genetic diversity as Good Practice for this breed and warns against overusing popular sires, so run the pairing through its inbreeding coefficient calculator (Mate Select) and aim at or below the breed average. Put the fee and terms in writing.

Health tests for a Chinese Crested stud

The RKC's health guidance for the Chinese Crested lists prioritising genetic diversity as good practice, and two DNA tests as best practice: primary lens luxation (PLL) and progressive retinal atrophy (prcd-PRA). Both are inherited in an autosomal recessive way: a puppy needs two copies of the faulty gene to be affected, while a carrier with one copy shows no signs of the disease but can pass it on. PLL is a painful condition in which the lens moves out of position, which can lead to glaucoma and loss of sight. prcd-PRA makes the cells of the retina degenerate; night blindness is usually the first sign, and sight starts to fail from around three years of age or later. The RKC offers a Chinese Crested DNA testing package covering both tests plus a DNA profile, and publishes lists of tested dogs. Results for registered dogs appear on the Health Test Results Finder.

The breed is in Breed Watch Category 2, with nervous temperament flagged as a point of concern for show judges. Merle is not an acceptable colour under the standard, and the Chinese Crested is not one of the breeds in which the RKC will register merle dogs.

  • DNA test for primary lens luxation (PLL) (RKC best practice)
  • DNA test for progressive retinal atrophy (prcd-PRA) (RKC best practice)
  • Prioritising genetic diversity: coefficient of inbreeding at or below the breed average (RKC good practice)
  • Breed Watch: Category 2
