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 Parson Russell Terrier stud dog

Stud dogs on this page are advertised by their owners. Before you book, ask for his DNA results for late onset ataxia (LOA), primary lens luxation (PLL) and spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA), and confirm them on the RKC Health Test Results Finder. All three are recessive or thought to be, so a puppy is affected only if both parents pass on the faulty gene; if he is a carrier for one, your bitch should be tested clear for it. Ask when he last had an eye examination under the BVA/RKC/ISDS Eye Scheme. Confirm his RKC registration and run the pairing through the RKC's Mate Select inbreeding coefficient calculator. With only 292 registrations in 2025, every mating affects the gene pool, and the RKC warns that overusing popular sires reduces genetic diversity, so ask how many litters he has sired. Agree the stud fee and any repeat-mating terms in writing. Read more about stud dogs and stud services.

Health tests for a Parson Russell Terrier stud

On its breed page the RKC lists prioritising genetic diversity and two DNA tests at Good Practice level for the Parson Russell Terrier: late onset ataxia (LOA) and primary lens luxation (PLL). Best Practice adds a DNA test for spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) and an eye examination under the BVA/RKC/ISDS Eye Scheme. The August 2026 RKC Health Standard matches this.

LOA and SCA both cause progressive problems with coordination and balance; the RKC says signs of LOA begin between 6 and 12 months of age, and SCA can appear from 2 to 6 months. PLL is a painful condition in which the lens slips out of place, which can lead to glaucoma and loss of sight. LOA and PLL are autosomal recessive, and SCA is thought to be inherited the same way, so a puppy is affected only if it inherits the faulty gene from both parents. The Eye Scheme's January 2026 list of breeds with known inherited eye disease includes the Parson Russell for PLL.

In a vulnerable native breed with a small gene pool, careful control of inbreeding matters. The breed is in Breed Watch Category 1, so no breed-specific points of concern have been flagged for show judges. Testing lowers risk but cannot guarantee a healthy puppy.
