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 Havanese stud dog

This page lists Havanese stud dogs offered by owners across the UK. Before you book a mating, ask for the dog's current eye certificate under the BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme. The Havanese Club of Great Britain expects it to be no more than 12 months old at the time of mating. Also ask for his elbow grade and any patella grading or DNA results, and check them on the RKC Health Test Results Finder. Run the pairing through the RKC's online inbreeding coefficient calculator. The RKC advises aiming for a figure no higher than the breed average, and lower where you can. The dog should be registered with The Royal Kennel Club with no endorsement that would stop his puppies being registered, as the RKC's stud dog guidance explains. The club's code also asks stud dog owners to satisfy themselves about how the litter will be raised. Agree the fee and terms in writing.

Health tests for a Havanese stud

The RKC Havanese breed page lists eye testing as good practice, the minimum it strongly recommends before breeding, and adds elbow grading as best practice. It also points to a breed club health scheme and says it offers no breed-specific DNA test package for the Havanese. The breed is in Breed Watch Category 1, meaning no breed-specific points of concern have been flagged for show judges.

The Havanese Club of Great Britain's health testing advice treats two checks as essential for breeding dogs. The first is a yearly eye test by a BVA eye panellist, starting after 12 months of age and before the first mating. The second is a single kneecap (patella) examination by an experienced vet after 12 months, graded on the Putnam system. Heart testing, hip and elbow screening and several DNA tests are listed as optional extras that add to what is known about the breed. The club's eye testing page names cataract as the main hereditary eye disease and says most cases develop after six months of age. No DNA test exists for any eye disease in the breed, so examination by a panellist is the only check.

  • Eye testing using the BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme (RKC good practice; the club asks for a yearly test)
  • Elbow testing using the BVA/KC Elbow Dysplasia Scheme (RKC best practice; club optional, not before one year)
  • Patella (kneecap) examination graded on the Putnam scale, once after 12 months (club essential)
  • Litter eye screening by a BVA eye panellist, which the club says is usually done at 6 to 8 weeks
  • Heart testing, not before two years of age (club optional)
  • Hip screening using the BVA/KC Hip Dysplasia Scheme, not before one year (club optional)
  • DNA tests such as hereditary calcium oxalate urolithiasis (HCOU) type 1, von Willebrand's disease, haemophilia A, methaemoglobinaemia, macrothrombocytosis and CDDY (club optional)
  • Breed Watch: Category 1
