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 Miniature American Shepherd stud dog

Miniature American Shepherd stud dogs on this page are advertised by their owners. Before agreeing a mating, check that the dog is registered with the RKC on the Imported Breed Register and that nothing on his registration would stop the litter being registered. The RKC lists no breed-specific tests yet, so ask what screening he has had: for example a hip score under the BVA/RKC Hip Dysplasia Scheme, a recent eye certificate under the BVA/RKC/ISDS Eye Scheme, and results for the four DNA tests the US parent club requires (PRA-prcd, MDR1, HSF4 and NAD). Confirm his colour: if one dog is merle, the other must not be, because the RKC will not register puppies from merle-to-merle matings. Run the pairing through the RKC's inbreeding coefficient calculator, as genetic diversity is the RKC's Good Practice priority for this breed. Agree the stud fee and any repeat-mating terms in writing before the bitch travels.

Health tests for a Miniature American Shepherd stud

The RKC lists one Good Practice priority for the Miniature American Shepherd: prioritising genetic diversity. It lists no Best Practice tests, offers no breed-specific DNA testing package and sets no breed-specific breeding restrictions. In practice, that means checking the inbreeding coefficient of each planned mating, aiming at or below the breed average.

Outside the RKC's list, the US parent club, the Miniature American Shepherd Club of the USA (MASCUSA), names hip X-ray evaluation, an annual eye examination and DNA tests for PRA-prcd, MDR1 (multiple drug sensitivity), HSF4 hereditary cataract and neuroaxonal dystrophy (NAD) as required for its health programmes. In the UK, the BVA/RKC/ISDS Eye Scheme is open to any dog, and hips can be scored under the BVA/RKC Hip Dysplasia Scheme. The Miniature American Shepherd is not on the BVA's January 2026 list of breeds with known inherited eye disease, although its ancestor, the Australian Shepherd, is listed for hereditary cataract.

Merle is a standard colour in this breed, but the RKC does not register puppies from merle-to-merle matings, because dogs with two copies of the merle gene have a higher risk of blindness and deafness.

The breed is in Breed Watch Category 1, with no breed-specific concerns flagged for show judges. Health testing reduces risk but cannot guarantee a healthy puppy.

Health tests and schemes the RKC lists for the Miniature American Shepherd:

  • Prioritising genetic diversity, for example by checking the RKC inbreeding coefficient of a planned mating (RKC Good Practice)
  • No Best Practice tests listed and no breed-specific RKC DNA testing package at present; individual DNA tests are available
  • Breed Watch: Category 1
