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.

Using a Chorkie stud dog
In a first-cross Chorkie litter the stud is a pure-bred Chihuahua or Yorkshire Terrier; in a later-generation litter he may be a Chorkie. If he is a Chihuahua, ask to see a current BVA/KC/ISDS eye certificate and his Respiratory Function Grading result; the RKC says grades expire and dogs should be reassessed every two years while they are used for breeding. The RKC does not register merle Chihuahuas and warns against merle-to-merle matings, so confirm the colour of both dogs. For a Yorkshire Terrier stud, the RKC lists no pre-breeding screening at present. If the stud is RKC registered, check his results on the Health Test Results Finder and his inbreeding coefficient with the RKC's COI calculators. For a stud of mixed parentage, also ask for a written pedigree of both lines. Think about the relative size of both dogs and discuss the pairing with your vet first.
Health tests for a Chorkie stud
The Chorkie has no health recommendations of its own, so breeders should follow those for each parent breed. For the Chihuahua (Smooth Coat), the RKC's best-practice tests are an eye examination under the BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme and, recognised in August 2026, a breathing assessment for brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) under the Respiratory Function Grading scheme run with the University of Cambridge. The RKC says the breathing test joins its Health Standard from January 2027, and the Chihuahua (Long Coat) has the same two tests. RFG grading is offered only for a named list of breeds that includes the Chihuahua but not the Yorkshire Terrier, so it is the Chihuahua parent that should be graded. For the Yorkshire Terrier, the RKC currently lists no pre-breeding screening.
Both Chihuahua varieties are in Breed Watch Category 2, and judges are asked to watch for faulty bites and teeth, wry jaw and an excessively short muzzle. The RKC does not register merle Chihuahuas and warns that dogs inheriting two copies of the merle gene face a higher risk of eye and ear problems. It also cautions against "teacup" breeding from the very smallest dogs.
