So you have given careful consideration to what owning a dog involves and have decided on a suitable breed of pedigree dog.  You can either purchase a pedigree puppy from a breeder or re-home a pedigree or crossbreed dog from one of the many animal rescue centres in the UK.

Please read the article below titled ‘Where NOT to buy a puppy or a dog’ as this will give you the facts if you were planning to buy a puppy from a pet shop or a puppy ‘dealer’.

Find a Kennel Club registered puppy with the Kennel Club Puppy Sales Register

The Kennel Club receives hundreds of enquiries every week for Kennel Club registered puppies.  To meet this demand, prospective owners are sent an information pack which includes the contact details of breeders who have puppies for sale.  Buyers can receive a Puppy Pack (a list of puppies available) in the post or search online.

Over 10,500 breeders have used the Puppy Sales Register over a 12 month period.  Over one and a half million searches for puppy details were carried out by potential puppy owners over the year.

The register is restricted to breeders who have registered not more than four litters whelped over the preceding 12 months (unless the breeder is an Accredited Breeder).  

If you are not able to find what you are looking for, or there are no breeders currently listed, then you should contact the Breed Club.  The Breed Club secretary can provide you not only with expert advice on the particular breed of interest, but put you in touch with other breeders who may be able to help you with your search.  Breed Club contact details can be found when you search the Puppy Sales Register.

Rescue Centres

These vital centres are able to support dogs in need and can help you find the dog that you are looking for. Many of them are breed specific rescue centres also.
