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 Pointer stud dog

The Pointer stud dogs on this page are listed by their owners. Before booking a mating, ask for the dog's hip score under the BVA/RKC Hip Dysplasia Scheme, the one screening test the RKC lists for Pointers, and compare it with the breed median. Check that he is registered with the Royal Kennel Club and that no RKC rule or endorsement would stop his puppies being registered. The Pointer is on the RKC At Watch list, and genetic diversity is the priority in the breed's health plan. So run the pairing through the RKC inbreeding coefficient calculator, aim for a figure at or below the breed average, and ask how many litters he has already sired. Discuss whether he comes from show or working lines. Agree the stud fee and any repeat-mating arrangement in writing.

Health tests for a Pointer stud

The RKC Health Standard lists one screening test for the Pointer: hip scoring under the BVA/RKC Hip Dysplasia Scheme, at Best Practice level. Dogs must be at least a year old, and hips are scored from 0 to 106, with lower scores better. The breed's Health and Conservation Plan, drawn up with the RKC in 2021, recorded a median score of 9 from 256 Pointers scored up to October 2021. It found no RKC-recognised DNA tests for the breed, and the Pointer is not on the BVA's January 2026 list of breeds with known inherited eye diseases.

The priority agreed in that plan is maintaining genetic diversity. Registrations have fallen over time, the breed is now on the RKC At Watch list, and the plan's actions include monitoring the use of popular sires. In the Pointer Club's 2022 health survey of 1,178 dogs, the conditions owners reported most often were conjunctivitis, environmental allergies and arthritis. The breed is in Breed Watch Category 1, so no breed-specific points of concern have been flagged for judges. Health testing lowers risk but cannot guarantee a healthy puppy.

Health tests and schemes for the Pointer:

  • BVA/RKC Hip Dysplasia Scheme (RKC Best Practice)
  • Maintaining genetic diversity, for example by checking the inbreeding coefficient of a planned mating (priority in the breed's Health and Conservation Plan)
  • Breed Watch: Category 1
  • Status: RKC At Watch list (321 registrations in 2025)
