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 Giant Schnauzer stud dog

This page lists Giant Schnauzer stud dogs offered by UK owners. Before you book, ask for the dog's BVA/RKC hip score and elbow grade, a recent BVA/KC/ISDS eye certificate, and his DNA results for prcd-PRA, PRA5, DCM and HUU. Results recorded by the RKC can be checked on its Health Test Results Finder. The breed health website advises against any mating that could produce affected puppies, so a carrier should be paired with a clear partner; compare his results with your bitch's. Put the pairing through the RKC's inbreeding coefficient calculators (formerly Mate Select) and aim for a figure at or below the breed average. The RKC's stud dog guidance says the dog should be RKC registered with no endorsements that would stop his puppies being registered, and that the fee and terms should be agreed in writing before the mating. It is also reasonable to ask how many litters he has sired.

Health tests for a Giant Schnauzer stud

The RKC Giant Schnauzer page sets out the breed's requirements under the Health Standard. At good-practice level, breeding dogs should be hip scored and elbow graded under the BVA/RKC schemes and DNA tested for prcd-PRA, with genetic diversity prioritised. Best practice adds eye examination under the BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme, including litter screening, and DNA tests for dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), PRA5 and hyperuricosuria (HUU); the RKC announced the HUU scheme in June 2025. The breed sits in Breed Watch Category 1, meaning no conformation-related concerns are flagged for judges.

The Giant Schnauzer health website, produced with the breed health co-ordinator and the three UK breed clubs, explains each condition. The DCM caused by the RBM20 mutation affects young dogs, with signs possible from one to two years of age. HUU leads to urate crystals and kidney or bladder stones, which most often cause trouble between three and six years; Laboklin figures from 2024 quoted on the site show 36% of Giants tested across Europe as carriers. PRA5 was identified in a UK-bred litter in 2016. The site also covers hypothyroidism and epilepsy, and the club's pre-breeding screening advice asks for the eye examination to be repeated every year.
