Find a Breeder

_{Disclaimer: The Find a Breeder service is a listing service only and the Royal Kennel Club does not register breeders. Inclusion does not constitute endorsement, approval, certification, or a guarantee of any breeder. While breeders must meet the terms and conditions to be listed, the Royal Kennel Club cannot guarantee ongoing compliance. Listings may be suspended or removed at any time, and inclusion on the service does not guarantee continued availability or eligibility.}

_{The Royal Kennel Club makes no warranty as to the health, temperament, or fitness of any dog offered for sale and cannot accept responsibility for any transaction between a puppy buyer and a breeder arising from the use of this service.}

_{While the Royal Kennel Club may carry out checks in relation to eligibility for the service, it cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of information provided by breeders and cannot independently verify all statements made within listings.}

_{Where applicable, breeders are required to provide licensing information. We verify licence details supplied to us and may remove listings where required information cannot be verified or is no longer valid. Verification does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, or guarantee of a breeder.}

_{There is an ability for breeders to add planned litters and expected dates; however, these are estimates only and should not be interpreted as a confirmation that puppies will be available for sale or that a litter will proceed as planned.}

_{We strongly encourage all puppy buyers to carry out their own research and to follow our Spotting a Responsible Breeder guidance before purchasing a puppy. Buyers should always meet the breeder, see the puppy interacting with its dam in its normal environment, and confirm that the litter meets the relevant Good Practice health standards.}

_{It is important to understand that health testing can help identify the risk of certain inherited conditions but cannot guarantee that a dog will not develop or pass on health issues.}

_{This service should be used as a starting point only and not as a substitute for research and responsible purchasing decisions.}

_{For further information, please refer to the Royal Kennel Club Welfare Standard for Adult Dogs and Puppies and the Royal Kennel Club Health Standard. Royal Kennel Club registration alone is not confirmation that these standards have been met.}

_{Information and photos published within breeder listings is provided with the permission of the breeder and is intended for use by prospective puppy buyers only. It must not be reproduced, distributed, or used for any commercial purpose without the breeder’s consent.}

_{Any concerns or complaints regarding breeders or listings may be submitted to the Royal Kennel Club through this online form. The Royal Kennel Club will review complaints but does not act as an arbitrator and shall not become involved in any contractual or financial disputes between breeders and buyers. The Royal Kennel Club’s role is limited to considering whether action is necessary in relation to the continued inclusion of a breeder or listing on the Find a Breeder service.}
