The Bull Arab breed is one of few dog breeds that was actually developed in Australia, with one of the others being the Australian Cattle Dog. Bull Arab dogs were originally bred to help Australian hunters hunt wild pigs, but they have since made their way into Australian homes and are also gaining in popularity throughout the world.
Unfortunately, there aren't all that many well-known breeders in Perth, so you may need to travel if you want a Bull Arab puppy. Read on for our tips.
The Safe & Responsible Way To Buy Bull Arabs Puppies Online In Perth
The Bull Arab breed was bred from a variety of different dog breeds, so it is technically considered to be a hybrid dog breed. This is, unfortunately, the reason that Bull Arab breeders aren't able to register themselves with the ANKC (Australian National Kennel Council), so finding a registered Bull Arab breeder is not actually possible.
At Pets Online, we normally encourage prospective dog owners to only purchase puppies from AKNC registered breeders. However, since this isn't possible for Bull Arabs, there are fortunately other organisations where Bull Arab breeders can register their dogs. So, you should still be able to find breeders that stick to breed standards and treat their dogs ethically.
Bull Arab breeders can register with the Australian Bull Arab Breeder's Association (ABBA), so if you are able to locate a breeder on a classified site like Facebook or Gumtree, you should check if they are registered with the association, as this will make them slightly more reputable.
One of the most important things to do to check a breeder's reputability is to go and visit their premises yourself and see what condition the dogs living on their property are in. They should also be able to provide all relevant documentation for all of the dogs on their property.
Looking online for reviews related to the breeder will also give you a good idea as to whether or not a breeder is reputable.
There are also some shelters and rescue organisations that specialise in Bull Arab adoption and foster care, so you have a few options to choose from. If you aren't phased about getting an older dog, then you should consider adopting from a rescue organisation like Bull Arab Rescue Australia or look for Bull Arabs at one of your local shelters.
