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 Manchester Terrier stud dog

A Manchester Terrier stud dog should be tested to the RKC's Best Practice standard before he is offered: DNA tests for vWD1, JDCM and xanthinuria (type II), plus an up-to-date examination under the BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme. All three conditions are recessive, and the RKC's breeding advice for DNA results explains that a carrier mated to a clear dog produces no affected puppies, so a carrier can still be used, but his owner should share his results openly. In a vulnerable native breed, genetic diversity carries real weight: check the combined inbreeding coefficient for the proposed pairing with the RKC inbreeding coefficient calculator, and consider whether a less-used line would help the breed. Ask to see his RKC registration and his results on the Health Test Results Finder, and agree the stud fee and terms in writing before the mating. Stud dogs here are listed by their owners and are not endorsed by us.

Health tests for a Manchester Terrier stud

The RKC sets out pre-breeding health screening for the Manchester Terrier in two tiers. Its Good Practice advice is to prioritise genetic diversity, which matters in a breed with such a small registered population. Its Best Practice list adds three DNA tests and an eye examination.

All three DNA-tested conditions are autosomal recessive: a dog is affected only if it inherits the faulty gene from both parents, while a dog with one copy shows no signs but is a carrier. Von Willebrand disease type I is a bleeding disorder; signs vary, but can include nosebleeds, bleeding gums and prolonged bleeding in season or after whelping. JDCM is a serious heart condition that normally appears at around six months of age; some dogs show no signs, while others become lethargic or reluctant to exercise, and it can cause sudden death. Xanthinuria type II causes crystals to build up in the urinary tract, which can cause problems passing urine or blood in the urine; severe cases may need surgery. For the eye scheme, the RKC advises examining breeding dogs within the 12 months before mating.

The breed is in Breed Watch Category 1, with no breed-specific points of concern flagged for show judges, and there are no extra breed-specific breeding restrictions.
