The Bull Arab is a mixed breed dog developed from multiple parent breeds. Originally bred to hunt, they make excellent guard dogs and pets alike. But how much do Bull Arabs cost?
That’s what we’ll be looking into today. We’ll be exploring both the initial cost of purchasing a Bull Arab, the ongoing costs of maintenance, and what to look for when it comes to picking out your new best friend.
The Bull Arab is a relatively average-priced dog to purchase and you can expect to pay anywhere between $500 to $600. However, the price you pay will depend entirely on the breeder that you purchase your dog from, as well as other factors such as coat color with some coats being more popular and, therefore, more expensive than others.
If you have your heart set on a Bull Arab and want to keep costs as low as possible, we would recommend visiting a dog shelter. Here you’ll be asked to make a contribution that is likely to be significantly less than the price of a Bull Arab purchased from a breeder.
When it comes to the cost of purchasing a Bull Arab, many factors influence the breeder’s decision to charge these specific prices.
In this case, the coat colour is not a factor that is considered. For some dogs, coat colour can decide whether their purchase price is more or less. The new dog owner may want a specific colour that is more popular or rare. Popularity comes down to people’s preferences and can increase the price.
Information about the bloodline of the dog could when it comes to the Bull Arab be one of these factors. This dog comes from a list of pretty popular dog breeds. Like the Greyhound, English Bull Terrier, German shorthaired pointer and a few other dog breeds.
When it comes to finding a suitable Bull Arab breeder, the first thing you need to do is make sure you select a breeder who has the appropriate qualifications and is easy to contact. Unfortunately, there are a few unethical breeders and puppy farms that will not have the correct capabilities and will instead have you meet them in a public place than at their property.
A reputable breeder would give you the necessary medical information about the puppies, and have them vaccinated, microchipped, and checked by a vet. If you’re able to see the puppy with its parents and sibling as well, you can rest assured that you’ve likely chosen a suitable breeder.
If a breeder does not give you access to the puppies’ mother, then something is certainly not right, and you should probably find another breeder. Spending time with the mum is an integral part of the purchasing process.
You should also take into account what the breeder’s agreement is in terms of returning the puppy. While you are bound to fall in love with your new best friend straight away, reputable breeders will likely have you sign a contract with all the terms and conditions which will also contain a return policy.
The initial purchase price of a Bull Arab is just one of the things you need to consider when it comes to costs. There are ongoing maintenance costs that cover things your dog needs to live a healthy, happy life. These include:
Pets need to eat, and dog food can become expensive in the long run. Dogs also eat according to their size and activity level and the Bull Arab is a big canine that requires quite a bit of food to sustain it!
They are also energetic canines and, as such, they should eat food that consists of all of the necessary nutrients and vitamins to keep them healthy. This means that they may need a specialist food, rather than a standard “off the shelf” dog food suitable for other dogs, which can be more expensive.
To manage and understand your dog’s health needs, you should take it for regular check ups with a vet. If your dog is predisposed to health issues, your vet will give you the necessary information to treat them but this can also mean ongoing costs.
Pet insurance will come in handy as it can lighten the load financially, especially if you need to pay for expensive medical bills like surgery or ongoing medication.
While they aren’t heavy shedders, a Bull Arab still needs to be regularly groomed and maintained to feel and look good! A well-groomed pooch will also have a higher chance of avoiding health risks such as hot spots and dermatitis.
You could splurge on taking your pup to a professional groomer for the rest of its life, but you could also take the time to learn how to groom them at home. Spend your money on tools like a brush and an excellent pet-safe shampoo to keep your costs low.
The Bull Arab is most definitely worth the price. Adding a pet to the family is an exciting step and you should spare no expense to make them feel happy and loved. These dogs are also among the most loving dogs you can welcome into your home and they’re also great with kids. That’s something that you cannot put a price on.
When you are ready to spend money on a dog and have the space for a large dog like the Bull Arab, you should do so. Yes, expenses may be involved, but it is all worth it when you have a new family member!
