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 Small Munsterlander stud dog
If you stand a Small Munsterlander stud dog, bitch owners will want to see that he is registered, either on the RKC Imported Breed Register or with a recognised overseas kennel club. Share his full pedigree rather than only the generations shown on an import certificate, so owners can judge how closely he is related to their bitch; the RKC's inbreeding coefficient calculator gives a more useful result when records go back several generations. Prioritising genetic diversity is the RKC's only Good Practice advice for this breed, and it warns that heavy use of one popular sire narrows a breed's gene pool, a real risk in a population this small. Hip scores under the BVA/KC Hip Dysplasia Scheme and a recent BVA/KC/ISDS eye certificate are not required, but they give owners useful evidence. Note his temperament and any working or trial results, and ask for the bitch's registration and health details before agreeing terms.
Health tests for a Small Munsterlander stud
The RKC lists one Good Practice measure for the Small Munsterlander: prioritising genetic diversity. It names no hip, elbow or eye scheme for the breed under Good or Best Practice, and there is no breed-specific DNA testing package, although individual DNA tests are available. There are no extra breed-specific breeding restrictions. The breed is in Breed Watch Category 1, meaning no breed-specific points of concern have been flagged for show judges.
Genetic diversity matters in a breed whose small UK population rests largely on imported dogs. The RKC's inbreeding calculators give a coefficient of inbreeding (COI) for a planned mating, but the RKC cautions that it may hold only a three-generation pedigree for an imported dog, which makes the figure less informative. Ask to see the full pedigree from the country of origin.
Although the RKC does not list them for this breed, the BVA/KC Hip Dysplasia Scheme screens dogs from one year of age and the BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme is open to all dogs. Ask whether the parents hold results from these schemes or an overseas equivalent, and check any RKC registered dog on the Health Test Results Finder.
