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 Labradoodle stud dog

If you are looking for a stud dog for a Labradoodle litter, judge him by the health results for his own breed. A Labrador stud should have the six DNA tests the RKC lists as Good Practice for Labradors, plus hip, elbow and eye screening. A Standard Poodle stud should have DNA results for prcd-PRA, PRA rcd4 and vWD1, plus hip and eye screening. If the stud is himself a Labradoodle, ask for results covering both parent breeds. Compare his results with your bitch's so you do not pair two carriers of the same recessive condition; prcd-PRA appears on both breed lists.

A pedigree Labrador or Poodle stud should be on the RKC Breed Register, and you can check the inbreeding coefficient of a planned mating with the RKC calculators. A Labradoodle cannot join the Breed Register, although the RKC Activity Register accepts crossbreeds. Agree stud terms in writing before the mating.

Health tests for a Labradoodle stud

The Labradoodle has no RKC health list of its own because it is not a recognised breed. The RKC's advice to anyone buying a crossbreed is to ask what breed-related health tests both parents have had. In practice, the Labrador parent should have the tests the RKC sets out for Labradors, and the Poodle parent the tests for its own size variety.

Several of these DNA tests are for autosomal recessive conditions: a puppy is only affected if it inherits a faulty copy of the gene from each parent, while a dog with a single copy shows no signs but is a carrier. The prcd-PRA test, for a form of progressive retinal atrophy that begins with night blindness and progresses to total blindness, is on the RKC lists for both Labradors and Poodles, so both parents should have a result. Hip and eye screening also appear on both lists. The BVA hip and elbow schemes only accept dogs aged one year or older; hip scores run from 0 to 106, and the lower the score the better. Screening reduces risk but cannot rule out every inherited problem.

Labrador parent (RKC Good Practice)

  • DNA test: centronuclear myopathy (CNM)
  • DNA test: exercise-induced collapse (EIC)
  • DNA test: macular corneal dystrophy (MCD)
  • DNA test: progressive retinal atrophy (prcd-PRA)
  • DNA test: skeletal dysplasia (SD2)
  • DNA test: Stargardt disease (STGD)
  • BVA/RKC Hip Dysplasia Scheme
  • BVA/RKC Elbow Dysplasia Scheme
  • BVA/RKC/ISDS Eye Scheme

Labrador parent (RKC Best Practice)

  • DNA test: hereditary nasal parakeratosis (HNPK)

Standard Poodle parent (RKC Best Practice)

  • DNA test: progressive retinal atrophy (prcd-PRA)
  • DNA test: progressive retinal atrophy (PRA rcd4)
  • DNA test: von Willebrand disease type 1 (vWD1)
  • BVA/RKC/ISDS Eye Scheme
  • BVA/RKC Hip Dysplasia Scheme

If a Miniature Poodle is used (RKC Best Practice): DNA tests for osteochondrodysplasia (OC) and prcd-PRA, plus the BVA/RKC/ISDS Eye Scheme and the BVA/RKC Hip Dysplasia Scheme.

Breed Watch: the Labrador is Category 2 (judges are asked to watch for dogs that are significantly overweight or whose legs are too short for the depth and length of the body); the Standard and Miniature Poodles are Category 1. The Labradoodle has no category of its own.
