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 Maltipoo stud dog
A Maltipoo stud dog listing should make his health results easy to check. If the stud is a Toy Poodle, look for a prcd-PRA DNA result, an eye certificate under the BVA/RKC/ISDS Eye Scheme and a hip score under the BVA/RKC Hip Dysplasia Scheme. If he is a Maltese, he should have a current eye examination certificate. Where the stud is a Maltipoo, ask for results that cover both parent breeds, and compare them with your bitch's so that two carriers of prcd-PRA are not paired.
Pick a stud of normal size for his breed rather than the tiniest on offer; the RKC cautions that breeding from undersized dogs can cause health issues in pregnancy and in the puppies. A pedigree stud should be on the RKC Breed Register, and the RKC calculators show the inbreeding coefficient of a planned mating. A Maltipoo can only be registered on the RKC Activity Register, not the Breed Register.
Health tests for a Maltipoo stud
The Maltipoo has no RKC health list of its own because it is a crossbreed. The RKC advises buyers of crossbreeds to ask what breed-related health tests both parents have had, so base your questions on the RKC lists for the Maltese and the Toy Poodle.
The only DNA test on the Toy Poodle's Good Practice list is for prcd-PRA, a form of progressive retinal atrophy. Affected dogs become night blind first and later lose their sight completely; the RKC says signs begin from around three years of age or later, varying by breed. It is an autosomal recessive condition, so a puppy is only affected if it inherits a faulty copy of the gene from both parents. The RKC recommends eye examinations under the BVA/RKC/ISDS Eye Scheme for both parent breeds, and hip scoring for the Toy Poodle. The BVA hip scheme only accepts dogs aged one year or over, and scores run from 0 to 106, lower being better.
Size matters too. The RKC warns that breeding from the very smallest dogs to produce "teacup" puppies is linked to breathing problems, fragile bones, and joint, heart and stomach problems. Screening lowers risk but cannot guarantee a healthy puppy.
Toy Poodle parent
- DNA test: progressive retinal atrophy (prcd-PRA) (RKC Good Practice)

- BVA/RKC Hip Dysplasia Scheme (RKC Best Practice)
Maltese parent

If the Poodle parent is a Miniature (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 Maltese, Toy Poodle and Miniature Poodle are all Category 1, with no breed-specific points of concern listed. The Maltipoo has no category of its own.
