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 Goldendoodle stud dog

A Goldendoodle stud dog may be a Goldendoodle used for a second-generation litter, or a pedigree Golden Retriever or Poodle used for a first cross or backcross. Either way, ask for his full health record: a BVA/KC hip score, elbow grade and eye certificate, with gonioscopy where he has Golden Retriever ancestry, plus the relevant DNA results for GR_PRA1, GR_PRA2, ICT-A, prcd-PRA, PRA (rcd4) and vWD1. A pedigree stud should be RKC registered, and his own inbreeding coefficient can be checked with the RKC's inbreeding calculator. A crossbred stud can go on the Activity Register, so his results can be looked up on the Health Test Results Finder. The RKC says pedigree data are not available for crossbreeds, so for Goldendoodle-to-Goldendoodle matings keep your own records and avoid pairing related dogs. Compare the stud's size with the bitch's, as the RKC warns a much larger sire can cause mating and whelping problems.

Health tests for a Goldendoodle stud

A Goldendoodle can inherit conditions from either parent breed. The RKC advises anyone breeding a crossbreed to carry out the recommended tests for both breeds, because complex conditions such as hip and elbow dysplasia involve the same faulty genes across many breeds. The BVA lists the Goldendoodle among the dogs most commonly affected by both, and its screening schemes take crossbreeds as well as pedigrees.

For the Golden Retriever parent, the RKC's Good Practice list is a DNA test for GR_PRA2 plus hip, elbow and eye screening, the eye examination including gonioscopy, which checks the eye's drainage angle for pectinate ligament abnormality linked to glaucoma. Best Practice adds DNA tests for GR_PRA1 and ichthyosis. For the Standard Poodle, the RKC's Best Practice list is DNA tests for two forms of progressive retinal atrophy and von Willebrand disease type 1, with eye and hip screening; the Standard Poodle Club also requires members to test for sebaceous adenitis before breeding. The RKC describes all these DNA-tested conditions as autosomal recessive: a puppy is affected only if both parents pass on a faulty copy.

In Breed Watch the Golden Retriever is in Category 2, with excess weight as the point of concern, and the Standard Poodle is in Category 1. The Goldendoodle itself has no category.
