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 Finnish Spitz stud dog

This page lists Finnish Spitz stud dogs offered by their owners. With only a handful of RKC registrations each year, every mating shapes the UK gene pool, and the RKC counts popular sires among the biggest contributors to lost genetic diversity. Before agreeing a mating, confirm that the dog is RKC registered and carries no endorsements that would stop the litter being registered. Check the pairing with the RKC's online inbreeding coefficient calculator, which the Kennel Club used to offer as part of its Mate Select service, and aim for a COI at or below the breed average. The RKC lists no health schemes for the breed, so ask what veterinary checks the dog has had and what is known about health and lifespan in his family. Mating terms fall outside the RKC's jurisdiction, so put the fee, any repeat-mating terms and what happens if no puppies result in a written contract. See Finnish Spitz puppies for current litters.

Health tests for a Finnish Spitz stud

The RKC's health standard for the Finnish Spitz has one Good Practice item: prioritising genetic diversity. No BVA/KC canine health schemes are listed for the breed, and the RKC has no breed-specific DNA testing package for it at present, although individual DNA tests are offered. The Finnish Spitz does not appear on the January 2026 list of breeds with known inherited eye disease published for the BVA/RKC/ISDS Eye Scheme.

In a breed that registers so few dogs, genetic diversity is the pressing issue. The RKC asks breeders to produce puppies with a coefficient of inbreeding (COI) no higher than the breed average, and preferably lower still; the average shown by its calculators is worked out each June. Because a heavily used stud dog can narrow a small gene pool quickly, the RKC also asks stud owners to limit how often their dog is used.

In 2012 the Finnish Spitz Club and the Finnish Spitz Society sent a health survey questionnaire to their members through their Joint Judges Sub-Committee. The absence of formal schemes does not mean the breed is free of health problems. Ask breeders what veterinary checks the parents have had and how long their relatives lived, and look up recorded results on the RKC Health Test Results Finder.

  • RKC Good Practice: prioritising genetic diversity (compare the mating's COI with the breed average using the RKC inbreeding coefficient calculator)
  • RKC Best Practice: no additional schemes or tests listed
  • BVA/KC canine health schemes: none listed by the RKC for this breed
  • RKC breed-specific DNA testing package: none currently offered
  • Breed Watch: Category 1 (no breed-specific points of concern identified for judges)
