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 Slovakian Rough Haired Pointer stud dog

For a breed built up from a small number of imports, careful stud selection is one of the main tools breeders have for protecting genetic diversity, which the RKC strongly recommends breeders prioritise for the Slovakian Rough Haired Pointer. Run the proposed pairing through the RKC's inbreeding coefficient calculator, aim at or below the breed average, and ask how many litters the dog has already sired. The breed club strongly recommends BVA/KC hip scoring before breeding, and the BVA advises using dogs with scores below or close to the breed median, so ask for the stud's certificate. Check that he is registered with the RKC on the Imported Breed Register or, if he lives abroad, that his registration will allow the litter to be registered here. Ask too about his temperament, working ability and any health issues reported in his offspring.

Health tests for a Slovakian Rough Haired Pointer stud

The RKC places the Slovakian Rough Haired Pointer in Breed Watch Category 1, meaning no breed-specific points of concern have been identified for judges beyond the breed standard. There is no breed-specific RKC DNA testing package, and the RKC strongly recommends that breeders prioritise genetic diversity before breeding. That matters in a breed that recorded 16 RKC registrations in 2025 and that was built up in the UK from a small group of imported dogs.

The breed club strongly recommends hip scoring under the BVA/KC Hip Dysplasia Scheme before breeding. It also encourages breeders to use the RKC endorsement that makes a puppy's future offspring ineligible for registration, so hips, conformation and temperament can be assessed before a young dog is bred from. The BVA scheme requires the dog to be at least a year old and microchipped, and the BVA advises breeding only from dogs with scores below or close to the breed median. The club's health page notes a small number of reported cases of idiopathic epilepsy, and it runs general health, skin and coat, and longevity surveys that owners can complete.
