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 Morkie stud dog

In a first-cross Morkie litter the stud dog is a pure-bred Maltese or Yorkshire Terrier; in a later-generation litter he may be a Morkie himself. Before agreeing a mating, ask for the stud's registration details and health results. A Maltese stud should have a BVA/KC/ISDS eye examination, ideally within the 12 months before the mating, as the RKC advises. The RKC lists no pre-breeding screening for the Yorkshire Terrier at present, although the BVA eye scheme is open to any dog, and a general check with your vet is a sensible minimum. If the stud is RKC registered, view his published results on the Health Test Results Finder and look up his inbreeding coefficient with the RKC's COI calculators. For a Morkie stud, also ask for a written pedigree of both lines so you can check for shared ancestors. Match the pair sensibly for size, and avoid breeding from unusually tiny dogs.

Health tests for a Morkie stud

The Morkie has no health recommendations of its own, so breeders should follow those for each parent breed. For the Maltese, the RKC lists eye testing under the BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme as best practice before breeding. The Maltese also appears on the list of breeds eligible for the RKC and University of Cambridge Respiratory Function Grading scheme for BOAS, but that test is not currently one of the breed's listed pre-breeding tests. For the Yorkshire Terrier, the RKC lists no pre-breeding screening at present, though this may change as research develops. Both parent breeds are in Breed Watch Category 1, meaning no conformation concerns specific to the breed have been flagged for show judges.

The BVA Eye Scheme is open to crossbreeds as well as pedigree dogs, and a dog does not need to be RKC registered, so a Morkie that will be bred from can be examined too. The BVA advises eye examinations for both parents of any planned litter, and the RKC's eye screening guidance says breeding dogs should be examined within the 12 months before a mating.

Take care with Morkies sold as "teacup" or "micro". The RKC recognises no teacup breeds and warns that dogs bred for extreme smallness may have fragile bones and joint, heart, breathing or stomach problems.

  • BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme (clinical eye examination): RKC best practice for the Maltese parent; the BVA scheme is also open to Morkies used for breeding
  • Yorkshire Terrier: no RKC-recommended pre-breeding screening at present
  • Breed Watch: Maltese Category 1; Yorkshire Terrier Category 1; the Morkie itself has no Breed Watch category
