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 Dobermann stud dog

This page lists Dobermann stud dogs offered by UK owners. Before booking a mating, ask for the dog's vWD1 and DINGS2 DNA results, his hip score under the BVA/KC Hip Dysplasia Scheme and his eye certificate, and confirm them on the RKC Health Test Results Finder. Both DNA conditions are autosomal recessive, so knowing the status of dog and bitch helps you avoid producing affected puppies. Ask too for his heart screening history and, where known, the ages and causes of death of his parents. The RKC's stud dog guidance says a stud should be RKC registered with no endorsements that would stop his puppies being registered, with terms and fee set out in a written contract before the mating. Check the pairing with the RKC's inbreeding coefficient calculators, aiming at or below the breed average. The Dobermann Club code of ethics also expects stud arrangements to be signed in writing and only RKC-registered Dobermanns to be bred from.

Health tests for a Dobermann stud

The RKC Dobermann breed page lists one good-practice test: a DNA test for von Willebrand disease type 1 (vWD1), an inherited bleeding disorder, which is also the only test in the RKC's Dobermann DNA package. Its best-practice list adds an eye examination at least once before breeding, for persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV); a DNA test for DINGS2; and hip scoring under the BVA/KC Hip Dysplasia Scheme. The RKC describes DINGS as an early-onset neurological disease whose signs, from around three weeks of age, include deafness, circling, a head tilt and poor balance. It describes both DINGS and vWD1 as autosomal recessive. The breed is in Breed Watch Category 1.

The Dobermann Club lists dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), a disease of the heart muscle, among the breed's main health issues and describes a Dobermann Breed Council DCM screening programme in which dogs were examined by veterinary cardiologists as part of a research trial. A 2017 article on its PHPV page says puppies can be tested for this congenital eye condition from about 8 to 12 weeks, and argues that money is better spent on annual heart testing than on repeat eye tests. The club's code of ethics encourages testing breeding stock for hip dysplasia, PHPV and vWD.

  • DNA test for von Willebrand disease type 1 (vWD1) (RKC good practice)
  • BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme: eye test at least once before breeding, for PHPV (RKC best practice)
  • DNA test for DINGS2 (RKC best practice)
  • BVA/KC Hip Dysplasia Scheme (RKC best practice)
  • Heart screening for DCM by a veterinary cardiologist (breed club focus, not an RKC-listed test)
  • Breed Watch: Category 1
