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 Schnoodle stud dog
A first-cross Schnoodle litter has a Schnauzer or Poodle sire, and for the Miniature pairing this guide covers, bitch owners will want to see his registration and the tests his breed calls for. A Miniature Schnauzer stud should have a MAC DNA result and a BVA/KC/ISDS eye certificate from the 12 months before mating. A Miniature Poodle stud should have OC and prcd-PRA DNA results, a current eye certificate and a BVA/KC hip score. Because these DNA conditions are recessive, knowing whether the stud is clear or a carrier helps the bitch owner plan, and results for registered dogs appear on the RKC Health Test Results Finder. The RKC inbreeding calculator can show a registered sire's own coefficient of inbreeding (COI), but the RKC holds no pedigree data for crossbreeds, so the owner of a Schnoodle stud should keep careful mating records. Agree the fee and terms in writing, and list your dog on our Schnoodle stud dogs page.
Health tests for a Schnoodle stud
A Schnoodle has no RKC health tests of its own. The RKC advises anyone breeding a cross to use the tests and schemes recommended for both parent breeds, and for these two breeds they currently all sit at Best Practice level. For the Miniature Schnauzer they are a DNA test for Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC), an immune defect that leaves dogs open to a serious systemic infection, and eye testing that includes litter screening. For the Miniature Poodle they are DNA tests for osteochondrodysplasia (OC), a severe form of dwarfism, and progressive retinal atrophy (prcd-PRA), which leads to gradual loss of sight, plus an eye examination and hip scoring. The RKC describes all three DNA conditions as autosomal recessive: a dog is affected only if it inherits a faulty copy from each parent, while a carrier shows no signs but can pass the variant on. This matters most when Schnoodles are bred together or back to a parent breed. The BVA eye scheme, including litter screening at 5 to 12 weeks, is open to crossbreeds, so Schnoodle puppies can be examined too. Both parent breeds are in Breed Watch Category 1, meaning no visible conformation-related health concerns have been identified. Testing lowers risk but cannot guarantee a puppy's health.
