The Bull Arab breed is one of the most iconic dog breeds in Australia, as they saw extensive use in aiding with pig hunting. Since then, they have found their way into many homes all over Australia and the rest of the world, as they can often make great family pets.
Below we will list some rescue organisations and reputable breeders based near and around Canberra and the rest of the Australian Capital Territory.
The Safe & Responsible Way To Buy Bull Arabs Puppies Online In Canberra
Pets Online normally always recommends that prospective dog owners only purchase puppies from registered breeders, as they often DNA test the parents of their puppies in order to prevent them from contracting hereditary diseases.
However, Bull Arabs technically aren't considered to be a dog breed of their own due to them being made up of a variety of different dog breeds. This means that breeders can't register with the ANKC (Australian National Kennel Council), so it's impossible to find a registered breeder.
Luckily, breeders are able to register with the Australian Bull Arab Breeder's Association (ABBA), so if they are registered with the organisation, they have a far better chance of being legit. And if you aren't worried about getting a puppy, then there are many older Bull Arabs at shelters and rescue organisations looking for loving forever homes.
If you've found a breeder that you like and want to go and check out their premises, then it's important to check that all of the dogs on the property are being treated ethically and that the breeder has documentation for all of the dogs on their property.
A great way to check if a breeder has bred healthy dogs in the past is by looking for reviews online relating to the breeder. This will give you a good indication of what you can expect if you decide to give one of their pups a new home.
If you're not set on a Bull Arab puppy, then you should consider adoption, as Bull Arab Rescue Australia and many local shelters will likely have older dogs that will fit your family just as well as any puppy would.
