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 Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever stud dog

The Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever stud dogs listed here are advertised by their owners. Before agreeing a mating, check that the dog is RKC registered without breeding endorsements and ask to see his DM and prcd-PRA DNA results, the two RKC Good Practice tests. To meet the Best Practice standard he also needs CEA/CH, DE and JADD results, a current BVA/KC/ISDS eye certificate, and hip and elbow results. Because the RKC lists genetic diversity as a Good Practice priority for Tollers, run the pairing through its online inbreeding coefficient calculator. The UK breed club advises that a known carrier for a condition should only be mated to a partner tested clear for the same condition. The RKC's guide to finding a suitable mate recommends seeing the dog yourself and setting out the terms in writing, including what happens if no litter results.

Health tests for a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever stud

The RKC places the Toller in Breed Watch Category 1, so no breed-specific points of concern have been flagged for show judges beyond those the breed standard already covers.

Under the RKC health standard, the Good Practice tests are the minimum a breeder should complete before breeding, and Best Practice means completing both lists below. For this breed the Good Practice list also includes prioritising genetic diversity, which the RKC's inbreeding coefficient calculator can help with. Results for registered dogs are published on the Health Test Results Finder.

The UK breed club's health page describes further conditions seen in Tollers. Autoimmune diseases, among them steroid responsive meningitis arteritis (SRMA) and immune mediated polyarthritis (IMPA), have no DNA test. Hypothyroidism has none either, and the only test linked to Addison's disease covers the juvenile form, so a clear JADD result does not rule the adult condition out. The club advises against breeding from affected dogs, and it reports that mast cell tumours are diagnosed more often in Tollers than in dogs generally. No test result can guarantee a healthy puppy, so ask breeders what they know about these conditions in their lines.
