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 Jug stud dog

For a first-cross Jug litter the stud is a Jack Russell Terrier or a Pug, ideally RKC registered, and he should meet the health testing the RKC sets for his own breed. A Pug stud needs a current Respiratory Function Grading result, and the RKC advises against breeding from a Grade 3 dog. He also needs an eye examination within the 12 months before mating, and Best Practice adds a PDE risk test and a BVA/KC hip score. A Jack Russell stud should have a PLL DNA result and, for Best Practice, LOA and SCA results and a recent eye certificate. Check his results on the Health Test Results Finder. The RKC's inbreeding coefficient calculator, once part of its Mate Select service, shows a registered stud's own coefficient against his breed average. A cross litter has no breed average, so treat the figure as background. If the stud is himself a Jug, ask for his parents' results too.

Health tests for a Jug stud

The RKC sets no health tests for the Jug itself, so screening should follow what it recommends for each parent breed. For the Jack Russell, Good Practice is a DNA test for primary lens luxation (PLL), a painful eye condition that can lead to blindness. Best Practice adds DNA tests for two balance disorders, late onset ataxia (LOA) and spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA), plus an eye examination. For the Pug, Good Practice is a breathing assessment for brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) under the RKC and University of Cambridge Respiratory Function Grading (RFG) scheme, together with an eye examination. Best Practice adds the DNA-based risk test for Pug dog encephalitis (PDE) and hip scoring.

PLL and LOA are autosomal recessive, and the RKC suggests SCA is inherited the same way, so a puppy is affected only if it inherits the faulty gene from both parents. In a first cross, a Jack Russell parent that tests clear cannot pass on the variants tested for. Where both parents are Jugs, both need testing. The RFG scheme is open only to a set list of breeds, which includes the Pug but not the Jug, while the BVA eye and hip schemes accept crossbreeds. Whatever a Jug's face shape, watch for noisy breathing or heavy panting.

  • Jack Russell parent, Good Practice: DNA test for primary lens luxation (PLL)
  • Jack Russell parent, Best Practice: DNA test for late onset ataxia (LOA)
  • Jack Russell parent, Best Practice: DNA test for spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA)
  • Jack Russell parent, Best Practice: Eye testing using the BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme
  • Pug parent, Good Practice: Breathing testing for BOAS using the Respiratory Function Grading (RFG) scheme
  • Pug parent, Good Practice: Eye testing using the BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme
  • Pug parent, Best Practice: DNA test for Pug dog encephalitis (PDE), which the RKC treats as a risk test
  • Pug parent, Best Practice: Hip testing using the BVA/KC Hip Dysplasia Scheme
  • Breed Watch: none for the Jug (not a recognised breed); Jack Russell Terrier Category 1; Pug Category 3 (points include signs of breathing difficulty, pinched nostrils, protruding eyes, skin-fold dermatitis and being too fat)
