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 Kerry Blue Terrier stud dog

Kerry Blue Terrier stud dogs

RKC figures show fewer than 100 Kerry Blue registrations in each of 2023, 2024 and 2025, so every stud dog's contribution to the gene pool matters. A useful listing gives the dog's RKC registration, any health tests he has had and his pedigree. The RKC does not run a stud register and suggests contacting a breed club for advice. Before agreeing a mating, check how closely the pair are related with the RKC's inbreeding coefficient calculators and aim for a coefficient of inbreeding at or below the breed average. The RKC counts popular sires among the biggest causes of lost genetic diversity and encourages bitch owners to use a wider variety of dogs, so less widely used males have a real part to play. Its guidance on using your dog as stud recommends a signed written contract. Browse Kerry Blue Terrier puppies or all stud dogs.

Health tests for a Kerry Blue Terrier stud

Kerry Blue Terrier health and testing

The RKC health standard gives one Good Practice priority for the Kerry Blue Terrier: prioritising genetic diversity. No BVA screening scheme or DNA test is listed as Good or Best Practice for the breed at present, the RKC offers no breed-specific DNA testing package, and there are no additional breed-specific breeding restrictions.

With registrations this low, careful management of the gene pool matters. The RKC's guidance on managing genetic diversity is to breed puppies with a coefficient of inbreeding at or below the breed's annual average, and preferably as low as possible, and to avoid heavy use of popular sires. Any health tests a breeder has had recorded can be looked up on the Health Test Results Finder, and the RKC names a breed health co-ordinator for the breed. If you have a question about a particular dog's health, speak to your vet.

The breed is in Breed Watch Category 1: the RKC has not flagged any breed-specific points of concern for show judges.

  • Good Practice: prioritising genetic diversity (coefficient of inbreeding at or below the breed average)
  • No BVA scheme or DNA test currently listed by the RKC as Good or Best Practice
  • Breed Watch: Category 1
  • Status: vulnerable native breed (fewer than 300 RKC registrations a year)
