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 Long Haired Dachshund stud dog

Anyone offering a Long Haired Dachshund at stud should be able to show RKC registration and an IVDD grade from the RKC scheme, since spine screening is one of the two steps the RKC lists as good practice for the breed. Bitch owners will check how the stud's grade combines with their bitch's grade on the RKC's breeding table, which marks pairings green, amber or red; the RKC says a red pairing should never knowingly be made. They will also want an eye examination under the BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme, which the RKC advises within 12 months before mating. Check colour carefully: a dapple stud should only be used on a non-dapple bitch, as the RKC will not register puppies from two dapple parents. Run each proposed mating through the RKC inbreeding coefficient calculator, aim at or below the breed average COI, and agree the fee and terms in writing.

Health tests for a Long Haired Dachshund stud

For the Long Haired Dachshund the RKC lists two good-practice steps before breeding: prioritising genetic diversity, and spine screening under the RKC IVDD Scheme for Dachshunds. Eye testing under the BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme is listed as best practice. The RKC has no DNA test bundle aimed at this breed.

Intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) is the main concern. Dachshund Health UK estimates that around one in four UK Dachshunds may be affected at some point. The RKC reports that in the 2018 DachsLife survey owners reported IVDD in 9.4% of Long Haired Dachshunds over three years old, against 21.1% across all varieties. The scheme uses a single set of X-rays taken between 24 and 48 months of age and grades the spine from 0 (no calcified discs) to 3 (five or more). Grades are published on the RKC Health Test Results Finder, and the RKC's breeding table rates pairings green, amber or red. The RKC stresses that screening lowers the risk but cannot rule IVDD out.

In Breed Watch Category 2, judges look for eye irritation (redness, discharge or tear staining), too little ground clearance, and poor hind conformation or movement. Dachshund Health UK recommends a clinical eye examination before breeding and again after eight years of age.

  • Genetic diversity: predicted COI checked with the RKC inbreeding coefficient calculator (RKC good practice)
  • RKC IVDD Scheme for Dachshunds: X-ray grade 0–3, taken once between 24 and 48 months (RKC good practice)
  • BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme (RKC best practice)
  • No RKC registration for puppies from dapple-to-dapple matings made on or after 1 January 2010
  • Breed Watch: Category 2
