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 Japanese Chin stud dog

This page lists Japanese Chin stud dogs advertised by their owners across the UK. Before arranging a mating, ask for the dog's current eye certificate under the BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme and whether he has been graded under the Respiratory Function Grading Scheme, which the RKC recognised for the breed in August 2026. The breed club also encourages heart and patella checks. Look him up on the RKC Health Test Results Finder, and make sure he is registered with no endorsement or breeding restriction that would block registration of the litter, as the RKC's stud dog guidance explains. Run the pairing through the RKC inbreeding coefficient calculator to see how closely the two dogs are related. Agree the fee, the number of matings and what happens if no puppies result, in writing, before your bitch travels.

Health tests for a Japanese Chin stud

The Japanese Chin Club describes the Chin as normally a healthy companion that often lives 10 to 12 years or more, though, as in other toy breeds, problems can occur. On its breed page the RKC lists prioritising genetic diversity as Good Practice, and eye testing under the BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme as Best Practice.

In August 2026 the RKC recognised breathing testing for brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) in the Chin, using the Respiratory Function Grading Scheme it developed with the University of Cambridge. The RKC says this test will be added formally to the Health Standard and Find a Puppy from January 2027 at Best Practice level. Dogs can be assessed from 12 months old: a vet listens to the breathing before and after three minutes of brisk exercise and grades the dog from 0 to 3, and the RKC advises repeating the test every two years while the dog is used for breeding.

The breed club has run heart checks at shows and found some significant murmurs in older dogs, and its code of ethics recommends testing hearts, patellas, eyes and breathing. The RKC places the Chin in Breed Watch Category 1. Health testing lowers risk but cannot guarantee a healthy puppy.

Health tests and schemes for the Japanese Chin:

  • Prioritising genetic diversity (for example, checking the coefficient of inbreeding of a mating), RKC Good Practice
  • Eye testing under the BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme, RKC Best Practice
  • Breathing testing for BOAS under the Respiratory Function Grading Scheme, recognised by the RKC in August 2026 and due to join the Health Standard at Best Practice from January 2027
  • Heart and patella checks, recommended by the Japanese Chin Club's code of ethics
  • Breed Watch: Category 1
