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 Toy Poodle stud dog
If you own a Toy Poodle stud dog, the RKC's minimum recommendation is a prcd-PRA DNA result, and bitch owners following RKC Best Practice will also look for a BVA/KC/ISDS eye certificate and a BVA/KC hip score. Keep these results up to date and share them before any mating is agreed. Because prcd-PRA is recessive, a carrier mated to a clear bitch cannot produce affected puppies, although some of the litter may be carriers. Confirm the stud is RKC registered, check the planned litter on the RKC inbreeding coefficient calculator and aim at or below the breed average, and record the stud's height so bitch owners can judge the likely size of the puppies. Put the fee, what happens if the bitch does not conceive and any registration endorsements in writing. Our stud dogs and stud services page explains more.
Health tests for a Toy Poodle stud
The RKC lists one Good Practice test for the Toy Poodle, which it strongly recommends breeders carry out at a minimum before breeding: the DNA test for progressive retinal atrophy (prcd-PRA). PRA makes the cells of the retina degenerate, usually starting with night blindness and moving on to loss of sight. It is inherited as an autosomal recessive condition, so a puppy is only affected if it inherits the faulty gene from both parents. Under Best Practice, the RKC adds eye examination through the BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme and hip scoring through the BVA/KC Hip Dysplasia Scheme, for which the BVA requires dogs to be at least one year old. The RKC has no additional breed-specific breeding restrictions for the Toy Poodle.
The Poodle Council's Toy Poodle health page names a Toy Poodle health co-ordinator for owners who want to report a problem. Its list of known Poodle health issues includes sebaceous adenitis, Addison's disease, von Willebrand disease, epilepsy and PRA (rcd4), so ask a breeder what they know about these in their lines.
