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 Maremma Sheepdog stud dog

Before a Maremma Sheepdog is offered at stud, he should be hip scored under the BVA/KC Hip Dysplasia Scheme, which the RKC lists as Best Practice for the breed, and his owner should be able to show the certificate or the result on the RKC Health Test Results Finder. Temperament counts as much as the X-ray: Breed Watch flags nervous temperament, the standard treats nervousness and aggression as unacceptable, and the RKC advises against using a male that seems shy, nervous or aggressive. The RKC's Good Practice advice for this breed is to prioritise genetic diversity, so check the combined inbreeding coefficient for the planned mating with the RKC inbreeding coefficient calculator. Ask to see his RKC registration, and agree the stud fee and terms in writing before the mating. Stud dogs on this page are listed by their owners and are not endorsed by us.

Health tests for a Maremma Sheepdog stud

The RKC's pre-breeding health advice for the Maremma Sheepdog has two parts. Its Good Practice recommendation is to prioritise genetic diversity. Its Best Practice recommendation is hip screening under the BVA/KC Hip Dysplasia Scheme. Dogs must be at least one year old; the hips are X-rayed under anaesthesia or heavy sedation and scored by a panel of veterinary scrutineers. Each hip is marked from 0 to 53, giving a total of 0 to 106, and lower scores are better. The RKC's advice for breeders is to choose dogs with scores around, and ideally below, the breed median.

The Maremma is in Breed Watch Category 2. The one point of concern flagged for show judges is nervous temperament, which fits the breed standard's statement that any tendency to nervousness or aggression is unacceptable. Buyers should pay as much attention to the parents' behaviour as to their paperwork. There are no additional breed-specific breeding restrictions.

  • Hip scoring under the BVA/KC Hip Dysplasia Scheme (RKC Best Practice)
  • Breed Watch: Category 2 (point of concern: nervous temperament)
