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 Staffordshire Bull Terrier stud dog

A Staffordshire Bull Terrier stud dog should have DNA results for hereditary cataract (HC-HSF4) and L-2-HGA, a current eye certificate under the BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme and an elbow grade under the BVA/KC Elbow Dysplasia Scheme; results for registered dogs can be checked on the RKC Health Test Results Finder. The RKC's genetic diversity guidance says a carrier can still be bred from if mated only to a DNA-clear partner, never to a carrier, affected or untested dog, although the breed club health scheme on the East Anglian SBT Club site asks breeders to use DNA-clear dogs. Check the pairing on the RKC's inbreeding coefficient calculator (the Kennel Club announced COI checks for proposed matings through its Mate Select service in 2011) and aim at or below the breed average. The RKC also asks stud owners to limit how often a dog is used, and it will not register merle puppies in this breed.

Health tests for a Staffordshire Bull Terrier stud

The RKC lists the Staffordshire Bull Terrier in Breed Watch Category 2, for breeds where exaggerated conformation causes visible health concerns that need closer monitoring. Show judges are asked to watch for signs of breathing difficulty, such as laboured, rapid or noisy breathing, and for misplaced canine teeth.

Under the RKC Health Standard, the Good Practice minimum for the breed is prioritising genetic diversity. Best Practice adds two DNA tests, elbow X-rays and eye examinations that include screening the litter. Hereditary cataract clouds the lens and can cause blindness, and in this breed it may be diagnosed as early as 8 to 12 weeks. L-2-HGA is a neurometabolic disorder whose signs, usually seen between six months and a year of age, can include seizures, an unsteady gait, tremors and muscle stiffness. Both are autosomal recessive, so a puppy is only affected if it inherits a copy of the mutation from each parent.

The RKC breed page also points to a breed club health scheme on the East Anglian SBT Club site, which asks for litter eye screening for PHPV from six weeks, before puppies leave. In February 2026 the RKC opened its Respiratory Function Grading scheme to the breed; at the time of writing it is not on the breed's Health Standard list.

Tests and schemes the RKC lists for the Staffordshire Bull Terrier:

  • Good Practice: prioritising genetic diversity
  • Best Practice: DNA test for Hereditary cataracts (HC-HSF4-2)
  • Best Practice: DNA test for L-2-hydroxyglutarate dehydrogenase (L-2-HGA)
  • Best Practice: elbow testing under the BVA/KC Elbow Dysplasia Scheme
  • Best Practice: eye testing under the BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme, including litter screening
  • Breed Watch: Category 2
