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 German Shepherd Dog stud dog

This page lists German Shepherd Dog stud dogs offered by UK owners. Before booking, ask to see the stud's official hip score and elbow grade under the BVA/KC schemes. The RKC's hip scheme guidance advises breeding from dogs whose hip scores are close to, or preferably under, the breed median, and says estimated breeding values (EBVs) measure genetic risk more accurately than a hip score alone. A DM DNA result and an eye examination under the BVA/KC/ISDS scheme, which the RKC advises within the 12 months before mating, complete the Best Practice list. Some stud owners also present their dogs for the GSD Breed Council breed survey. Confirm every result on the Health Test Results Finder, check the dog is registered with The Royal Kennel Club, and run the pairing through the RKC's inbreeding coefficient calculator (Mate Select). Agree the fee and terms in writing, and see our stud dogs and stud services guide.

Health tests for a German Shepherd Dog stud

Hip and elbow dysplasia are the main screening priorities. The RKC lists X-rays under the BVA/KC hip and elbow schemes as Good Practice, the minimum it strongly recommends before breeding, and names the German Shepherd Dog among the breeds most commonly at risk of both conditions. Dogs must be at least a year old when X-rayed. Each hip is scored from 0 to 53, giving a total of 0 to 106 where lower is better, and totals can be compared with the breed median; elbows are graded 0 to 3, and the BVA's Canine Health Schemes recommend breeding only from dogs graded 0.

Best Practice adds an eye examination and a DNA test for degenerative myelopathy (DM), a progressive spinal cord disease that usually starts when a dog is 7 to 14 years old, first showing as poor coordination in the hind legs. The DM test measures risk rather than giving a definite result. The RKC also points breeders to a breed club health scheme, and sells a breed DNA package covering DM, MDR1 and a DNA profile.

The breed has been in Breed Watch Category 2 since 1 September 2025. Judges are asked to watch for incorrect hind conformation or poor rear movement, and for nervous temperament. No test can guarantee a puppy's future health.
