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 Jackshund stud dog

A Jackshund litter can come from a Jack Russell Terrier and a Miniature Smooth Haired Dachshund, or from two Jackshunds, and the stud checks differ. A Jack Russell stud should have PLL, LOA and SCA DNA results and a BVA/KC/ISDS eye certificate from within the past year. A Miniature Smooth Haired Dachshund stud should have an IVDD grade under the RKC scheme, a PRA (cord1) result and a current eye certificate. Confirm a registered stud's results on the RKC Health Test Results Finder. The RKC inbreeding coefficient calculator, the tool once known as Mate Select, works only from RKC pedigree records, so use it to see how inbred a registered stud is within his own breed; for a Jackshund stud, ask for as much known ancestry as possible. The RKC will not register Dachshund puppies from two dapple parents, citing sight and hearing risks, so avoid dapple-to-dapple pairings. Agree terms in writing.

Health tests for a Jackshund stud

The Jackshund is a crossbreed, so the RKC has no health standard or Breed Watch category for it. The RKC advises crossbreed buyers to ask which breed-related health tests both parents have had, using its lists for each parent breed as the benchmark.

The Dachshund side carries the main back risk. For the Miniature Smooth Haired variety, the RKC lists spine screening under its IVDD scheme, run with Dachshund Health UK, as Good Practice. The scheme X-rays RKC-registered Dachshunds aged 24 to 48 months and grades disc calcification from 0 to 3. In the 2018 DachsLife survey cited by the RKC, IVDD was reported in 29.9% of Miniature Smooth Haired Dachshunds over three years old, the highest of the six varieties. The scheme covers Dachshunds only, so it applies to the Dachshund parent, not to Jackshund puppies.

On the Jack Russell side, the RKC lists a DNA test for primary lens luxation, a painful inherited eye condition that can lead to blindness, as Good Practice, with DNA tests for two forms of ataxia and eye examination as Best Practice. The BVA eye scheme is open to crossbreeds. The RKC will not register Dachshund puppies from two dapple parents because of risks to sight and hearing, so ask whether either parent is dapple.
