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 Tibetan Terrier stud dog

A Tibetan Terrier stud dog should have the same health record you would expect from any breeding dog: DNA results for NCL12, PLL, PRA (rcd4) and pituitary dwarfism (DP-LHX3), and a hip score under the BVA/KC Hip Dysplasia Scheme. Ideally he should also have the PRA3 DNA test and a current eye certificate under the BVA/RKC/ISDS Eye Scheme. Compare his hip score with the breed median and check his DNA results against your bitch's, since the Tibetan Terrier Association advises that a carrier should only be mated to a clear dog. Its code of ethics also expects stud dog owners to discuss the bitch's hip, eye and NCL status before agreeing a mating. Confirm that he is RKC registered, then use the RKC's online inbreeding coefficient calculator to check the coefficient of inbreeding for the planned litter. Agree the fee, what happens if no puppies are born and how the litter will be registered in writing beforehand.

Health tests for a Tibetan Terrier stud

The RKC Health Standard groups pre-breeding tests into two tiers. Good Practice is the minimum the RKC strongly recommends, covering conditions of significant concern in the breed. Best Practice means completing those tests plus a further set for conditions that still matter but may be less common or more recently identified. For the Tibetan Terrier the list covers inherited eye disease (primary lens luxation and two forms of progressive retinal atrophy), neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, pituitary dwarfism and hip dysplasia. The breed clubs describe pituitary dwarfism as relatively new to the breed, and the Tibetan Terrier Association calls it a very debilitating condition in young puppies.

The Tibetan Terrier Association's code of ethics asks for breeding stock to be tested under the RKC schemes for the breed, and the Tibetan Terrier Breeder and Owners Club asks breeders to eye test their breeding dogs every year. Hip X-rays can be taken once a dog is a year old. Each hip is scored from 0 to 53, lower is better, and the BVA recommends breeding only from dogs with scores below or close to the breed median. Testing reduces risk but cannot guarantee a healthy puppy.

The breed is in Breed Watch Category 1, meaning the RKC has identified no visible concerns linked to conformation.
