The Bull Arab breed is likely one of the most well-known breeds, and for a good reason, as they have helped Australian pig hunters for many years at this point. The breed has become iconic in Australia, which is why many people have decided to keep Bull Arabs as family pets in Australia and throughout the rest of the world.
Unfortunately, there aren't many well-known breeders based in Hobart or the rest of Tasmania, so you may need to travel if you want to bring a Bull Arab puppy home.
The Safe & Responsible Way To Buy Bull Arabs Puppies Online In Hobart
Pets Online usually strongly recommends that prospective dog owners only purchase dogs from registered breeders. The Bull Arab, however, is not a recognised breed due to it being made up of several well-known dog breeds, which means breeders are unable to register their dogs with the ANKC (Australian National Kennel Council). This means that finding a registered breeder is actually not possible.
Thankfully, there are a few other organisations that do allow Bull Arab breeders and owners to register their dogs, so finding breeders that stick to breed standards won't be too difficult. Alternatively, there are also many rescue organisations and shelters that specialise in rehoming Bull Arabs specifically.
There is an organisation called the Australian Bull Arab Breeder's Association (ABBA) that does allow Bull Arab breeders to register, which means that if you find a small breeder on a classified advertising site like Gumtree or Facebook, you can check their reputability by seeing if they are registered with the organisation.
One of the most important things to do when considering buying from a breeder is going to check their premises to see that all of their dogs are being looked after properly and that they have relevant documentation pertaining to all of the dogs on their property. Pups should be micro-chipped, vaccinated as necessary, fully wormed, and vet-checked.
Finding reviews online for your chosen breeder will also be a good idea, as you can see what people have had to say about other dogs that have come from other litters.
If getting a Bull Arab puppy is not a huge priority to you, then you should also consider adoption, as there are many rescue organisations and shelters that specialise in rehoming older Bull Arabs.
