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 Hamiltonstovare stud dog
Hamiltonstovare stud dogs on this page are advertised by their owners. Choosing a sire shapes the breed's wider gene pool as well as your own litter. Confirm that the dog is registered with the RKC if you plan to register the puppies, then enter both dogs in the RKC's online Inbreeding Coefficient (COI) lookup to see the COI of the pairing; the RKC recommends staying at or below the breed's annual average. Ask how many litters he has already sired, because heavy use of popular sires reduces diversity. Find out whether he has had any voluntary screening, such as a BVA/KC hip score, and check results on the Health Test Results Finder. Discuss his temperament and any working or show record, and put the fee and repeat-mating terms in writing.
Health tests for a Hamiltonstovare stud
For the Hamiltonstovare, the RKC's pre-breeding list includes no DNA tests or screening schemes, and there is no breed-specific DNA testing package, although individual DNA tests can be ordered. The single item of pre-breeding advice, at Good Practice level, is to prioritise genetic diversity. In practice that means running the RKC's online COI lookup before every mating, aiming for a coefficient of inbreeding (COI) at or below the breed's annual average, and spreading litters across a wider range of stud dogs rather than relying on a few popular sires. The RKC's breeding for health framework lists support for genetic diversity in small populations among its 2026 priorities.
The breed is in Breed Watch Category 1, so no breed-specific points of concern have been flagged for show judges, and the RKC lists no additional breed-specific breeding restrictions. Some breeders choose voluntary screening such as hip scoring under the BVA/KC Hip Dysplasia Scheme, which is open to dogs of any breed once they are at least a year old. Ask what has been done and look up registered dogs on the RKC Health Test Results Finder. Screening lowers risk but cannot guarantee a puppy's health.
