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 an English Springer Spaniel stud dog

An English Springer stud dog should be RKC registered and hold the full set of Good Practice results: a BVA/KC hip score, a BVA/KC elbow grade, a clinically clear BVA/KC/ISDS eye certificate from the past year, and a gonioscopy grade. The breed clubs ask for gonioscopy within three years of the mating; under the RKC grading used from January 2026, Grade 1 dogs are suitable for breeding and Grade 3 dogs should not be bred from. For Best Practice he also needs DNA results or hereditary-clear status for fucosidosis, PRA (cord1), PFK, AMS and DAMS, and a known carrier should only be paired with a tested-clear or hereditary-clear bitch. Run each proposed pairing through the RKC's online inbreeding coefficient calculator and aim for a predicted COI at or below the breed average. The RKC's January 2026 population analysis found strong evidence of popular sire use in the breed, so limit how often any one dog is used.

Health tests for an English Springer Spaniel stud

The RKC Health Standard splits pre-breeding tests for the English Springer Spaniel into two tiers. Good Practice is the minimum the RKC strongly recommends: prioritising genetic diversity, hip and elbow X-ray scoring, and an eye examination that includes gonioscopy for pectinate ligament abnormality (PLA), a drainage-angle defect linked to primary closed-angle glaucoma. Best Practice adds five DNA tests. Fucosidosis is a progressive, fatal nervous system disease that usually shows in young adults. PRA (cord1) starts with night blindness and can progress to total blindness. PFK deficiency causes weakness, exercise intolerance, anaemia and dark urine. AMS leads puppies to lick and bite their own feet because they cannot feel pain there. DAMS affects muscle, blood and heart from an early age. All five are autosomal recessive, so two carriers can produce affected puppies.

The breed clubs' ethical breeding guidelines ask for a clinically clear eye certificate issued within a year of a mating and a gonioscopy result from within three years. The RKC places the breed in Breed Watch Category 1, with no breed-specific points of concern for show judges. Testing lowers risk; it cannot guarantee a healthy dog.
