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.

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 Skye Terrier stud dog
Stud choice matters more than usual in a breed this small, because heavy use of a few males narrows the gene pool quickly. The RKC's good-practice recommendation for the Skye Terrier is to prioritise genetic diversity, and its guidance tells bitch owners to ask how often a dog has already been used and to avoid known popular sires. Before agreeing a mating, check the pairing with the RKC's inbreeding coefficient calculator and aim for a figure at or below the breed average. The Skye Terrier Club recommends that both stud dog and bitch are microchipped and have an ultrasound scan of both kidneys, and that each owner checks the other dog has been screened too. Make sure the stud is RKC registered with no endorsement that would stop the puppies being registered, and ask about any puppy limp or other health problems reported in his offspring.
Health tests for a Skye Terrier stud
The RKC places the Skye Terrier in Breed Watch Category 1, which means no breed-specific points of concern have been flagged for judges beyond what the breed standard already covers. The RKC has no breed-specific DNA testing package for the Skye, and its good-practice recommendation before breeding is to prioritise genetic diversity. With only a few dozen puppies registered each year, checking the inbreeding coefficient of every planned mating matters a great deal.
The Skye Terrier Club's Health Committee monitors puppy limp (often called Skye limp), renal dysplasia, hepatitis and cancer. The club explains that puppy limp is linked to leg bones growing at different rates, is usually painless and tends to settle with time; it asks owners of a limping puppy to contact the breeder or the Health Committee before seeing a vet who may not know the condition. Under its Renal Dysplasia Breed Health Initiative, the club strongly recommends that breeding dogs are microchipped and have an ultrasound scan of both kidneys before mating. The club's 2025 breed health survey recorded puppy limp in 38% of responses and haemangiosarcoma in 11%.
