American Bulldogs are an energetic, fun-loving breed and with proper training and socialisation, they can make a great addition to any family.
These dogs remain a firm favourite, so finding a registered breeder close to the Perth region and wider, Western Australia should be simple enough.
When you search for American Bulldog puppies in Western Australia it is recommended that you find a breeder registered with the Australian Kennel Club or a similar dog breeders' association.
A registered breeder will sell puppies bred from healthy dogs, with the intention of breeding out heritable health problems.
To find just the right pup for your family, you might have to search outside of the Perth region, into the wider Western Australia area or contact a breeder further afield who is willing to transport puppies across Australia.
Only breeders on the Perth dog breeder register are approved by Pets Online. Some of the key breeders of American Bulldog pups recognised by the American Bulldog Registry & Archives include:
At Anderson's American Bulldogs, their primary goal is to breed large, athletic Bulldogs where the health and temperament of the dog are of utmost importance. They focus on ensuring the dogs are not only physically capable and robust but also exhibit a stable, friendly temperament, making them an excellent addition to any family.
Barr's American Bulldogs pride themselves on being respected breeders of high-quality American Bulldogs. They are dedicated to producing dogs that excel in both physical prowess and congenial temperaments, ensuring their Bulldogs are a testament to the breed's unique characteristics.
Old Southern American Bulldogs are established breeders based in Western Australia, known for their commitment to the health and pedigree of their American Bulldogs. They prioritize health testing for all their dogs, thereby ensuring each Bulldog's robust pedigree and underpinning their renowned reputation in the region.
Expect to pay between $1000-3000 for an American Bulldog puppy in the Perth region, or elsewhere in Western Australia. Buying from a registered breeder is more costly upfront, but having a healthy pup already vaccinated and vet checked will save medical fees and heartbreak further down the line.
Proof of vaccinations and vet checks, and microchipping (if relevant). Moreover, a registered breeder should provide papers detailing your puppy's parentage and bloodline.
It is considered safe to buy a puppy online if you are buying from a registered breeder. It is recommended that you visit the puppy yourself before committing; don't send any money (even a deposit) for a dog you haven't seen in person.
Search for a few breeder options and compare prices, reviews, and the return policy. Yes, it sounds terrible, but a good breeder will discuss possible returns because they want their puppies to go to happy homes. Visit the breeder and puppies if possible to see the environment in which the puppy has been raised and meet the parent dogs. Each pup is unique, but the temperament of the parent dogs or other adult dogs of the same bloodline is a good indication of what you can expect from your adult dog.
