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 Lancashire Heeler stud dog

Lancashire Heeler stud dogs on this page are offered by their UK owners. Before agreeing a mating, ask for the dog's DNA results for PLL and CEA/CH and an eye certificate from the last 12 months under the BVA/KC/ISDS scheme, and confirm them on the RKC Health Test Results Finder. In such a small population, use the RKC COI calculator to work out the inbreeding coefficient of the planned litter; the RKC's inbreeding guidance is to aim at or below the breed average. Its genetic diversity advice also asks bitch owners to find out how often a dog has already been used and to avoid popular sires, and says a carrier should be mated only to a clear partner. Both dogs should be RKC registered with no endorsement that would stop the litter being registered. Stud owners can list a dog here; see also stud dogs and stud services.

Health tests for a Lancashire Heeler stud

The RKC's health guidance lists two Good Practice measures for the Lancashire Heeler, the minimum it strongly recommends before breeding: prioritising genetic diversity and an eye examination under the BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme. Its Best Practice level adds DNA tests for primary lens luxation (PLL) and Collie eye anomaly/choroidal hypoplasia (CEA/CH). Both conditions are recessive, so a puppy is affected only if it inherits the faulty gene from both parents. In PLL the lens can slip out of place, leading to glaucoma and loss of sight; the RKC says complete luxation usually happens between three and eight years of age. CEA is present from birth, and most affected dogs keep normal vision, but the RKC warns that mildly affected dogs can produce severely affected puppies.

The BVA's 2026 list of known inherited eye diseases names CEA and PLL for this breed, and its litter screening checklist includes the breed for CEA, with puppies examined at 5 to 12 weeks. The RKC advises an adult eye test in the 12 months before mating. Both breed clubs, the Lancashire Heeler Club and the Lancashire Heeler Association, also mention persistent pupillary membrane, hereditary cataract and patellar luxation, which the DNA tests above do not cover. The breed is in Breed Watch Category 1, and the RKC lists no extra breed-specific breeding restrictions.
