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 Newfoundland stud dog

Newfoundland stud dogs on this page are listed by their owners. Before you agree a mating, ask for his hip and elbow results under the BVA/RKC schemes, his cystinuria DNA result and his heart test certificate. The Newfoundland Club strongly advises repeat echo-Doppler heart scans for stud dogs every two years, so check the date of his latest scan. Cystinuria is recessive, and the RKC's breeding advice is that a carrier should only be mated to a clear dog: that pairing produces no affected puppies, although around half may be carriers. Confirm that he is RKC registered with no endorsement that would block registration of the litter, then check the pairing on the RKC's online inbreeding coefficient (COI) calculator and aim at or below the breed average. Put the stud fee, repeat-mating terms and arrangements if no puppies result in writing. Our guide to health-tested breeding stock explains the main schemes, and you can also see Newfoundland puppies.

Health tests for a Newfoundland stud

The RKC Health Standard places three tests for the Newfoundland at Good Practice level: a DNA test for cystinuria (CU), and hip and elbow X-rays under the BVA/RKC schemes. An eye examination under the BVA/RKC/ISDS Eye Scheme is at Best Practice level, ideally within the 12 months before a mating. Cystinuria is autosomal recessive: a dog must inherit two copies of the faulty gene to be affected, while carriers with one copy are not affected but can pass it on. Affected dogs form cystine crystals and stones in the kidneys or bladder, and the RKC notes that Newfoundlands can show signs from six months to a year old. The DNA test identifies each dog as clear, carrier or affected.

The Health Standard also points to the Newfoundland Club's heart testing scheme. The club recommends screening all breeding stock, chiefly for subaortic stenosis, with a colour-flow echo-Doppler scan by a veterinary cardiologist, and the scan also checks for dilated cardiomyopathy. Official results are recorded only for dogs over 12 months old, and the club strongly advises rescanning stud dogs every two years.

The Newfoundland is in Breed Watch Category 2, and judges are asked to watch for eyelids that turn in or out. Health testing reduces risk but cannot guarantee a healthy puppy.

Health tests and schemes for the Newfoundland:

  • DNA test for cystinuria (CU) (RKC Good Practice)
  • Hip testing using the BVA/RKC Hip Dysplasia Scheme (RKC Good Practice)
  • Elbow testing using the BVA/RKC Elbow Dysplasia Scheme (RKC Good Practice)
  • Eye testing using the BVA/RKC/ISDS Eye Scheme (RKC Best Practice)
  • Heart testing by echo-Doppler scan with a veterinary cardiologist (Newfoundland Club breed health scheme, listed in the RKC Health Standard)
  • Breed Watch: Category 2
