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 Wire Haired Dachshund stud dog

This page lists Miniature Wire Haired Dachshund stud dogs offered by UK owners. The first thing to check is the dog's Lafora DNA result. Dachshund Health UK says stud owners share responsibility for knowing the status of any visiting bitch and should refuse pairings that could produce affected puppies, since a carrier or affected dog mated to another carrier or affected dog can produce them. Ask too for the dog's grade under the RKC IVDD scheme, his cord1 PRA result and an eye certificate from within 12 months of the mating, as the RKC advises, and confirm them on the Health Test Results Finder. Check that he is registered with The Royal Kennel Club and use the RKC's online inbreeding coefficient calculator to keep the litter's inbreeding at or below the breed average. Do not mate two dapples; the RKC will not register the puppies. Put the fee and terms in writing.

Health tests for a Miniature Wire Haired Dachshund stud

The RKC lists two Good Practice tests. The first is spine screening for intervertebral disc disease (IVDD), in which spinal discs harden early and can herniate. In the breed council's DachsLife 2018 survey, cited by the RKC, 16.5% of Miniature Wires over three had IVDD reported. The IVDD scheme X-rays dogs aged 24 to 48 months and grades the spine from 0 to 3 by the number of calcified discs; the RKC notes that screening lowers risk but cannot guarantee an unaffected puppy.

The second is a DNA test for Lafora disease, an inherited, late-onset epilepsy that Dachshund Health UK identifies in Miniature Wires. Signs usually appear from about five years and include sudden jerking, which flashing lights, noise or movement near the head can trigger, and the disease may progress to wider neurological decline. It is recessive, and because it shows so late, testing all breeding stock before mating is the only reliable way to avoid affected puppies.

All three miniature varieties can also be affected by cord1 PRA, which can cause blindness; Dachshund Health UK also advises NPHP4 PRA (day blindness) testing for wires with Scandinavian pedigrees. The RKC places the variety in Breed Watch Category 2: judges watch for thin dogs, eye irritation, poor hind movement and inadequate ground clearance.
