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 Shiba Inu stud dog

Japanese Shiba Inu stud dogs on this page are advertised by their owners. Ask to see the dog's eye certificate with his gonioscopy grade, his hip score under the BVA/KC Hip Dysplasia Scheme and his DNA results for GM1_2 and GM2_2. If he carries either gangliosidosis gene, your bitch should be tested clear for that condition so that the litter cannot include affected puppies. Confirm his registration and results on the RKC Health Test Results Finder, and check that no RKC endorsement or breeding restriction would block registration of the litter. Run the pairing through the RKC inbreeding coefficient calculator. The RKC's stud dog guidance points out that mating terms fall outside its jurisdiction, so put the fee, the number of matings and any repeat mating arrangement in writing before the mating.

Health tests for a Japanese Shiba Inu stud

The RKC lists eye testing under the BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme, including gonioscopy for PLA, as Good Practice for the Shiba. At Best Practice level it adds hip scoring under the BVA/KC Hip Dysplasia Scheme and two DNA tests, recognised in February 2025 and applied from December 2025, for gangliosidosis (GM1_2) and gangliosidosis type II (GM2_2).

Gonioscopy uses a special lens to examine the drainage angle inside the eye. Since January 2026 the RKC eye screening scheme has graded results 1 to 3, and the BVA says dogs graded 3 are at risk of developing glaucoma. Hip X-rays can be taken from one year of age; each hip is scored from 0 to 53, and the BVA advises breeding from dogs with scores below or close to the breed median. The gangliosidoses are storage diseases that affect the nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord. Both are autosomal recessive, so a carrier shows no signs but can pass the gene on, and mating two carriers risks affected puppies.

The RKC places the Shiba in Breed Watch Category 1, with no specific points of concern identified. Health testing lowers risk but cannot guarantee a healthy puppy.
