Make sure your Aussie Bulldog Puppy comes with Official Registration papers

Saturday, October 27th, 2007

It has come to our attention that many members of the public are purchasing so called Australian Bulldogs, without or with false breed papers. These dogs are usually found in Pet Shops or the Trading Post, we don’t recommend any prospective puppy buyer to purchase from a breeder advertising in this paper. We advertised our first litter of Aussie Bulldog puppies in this paper, and it only attracted people looking to ruthlessly breed without providing a loving home or wanting them for pet shops. Pet shops also advertise in this paper, so beware. The Australian Bulldog Society does not allow their puppies to be sold in pet shops. It is worth the wait to go on a waiting list and ensure your receiving a real Aussie Bulldog, that is one that hasn’t been crossed with Pit Bull terrier, British Bulldog, Bullmastiff, Staffordshire Bull Terrier just to name a few.

Make sure your puppy comes with Australian Bulldog Society registration papers, if you want a guarantee that your puppy is the result of an Australian Bulldog to Australian Bulldog matings.

Whelping Boxes

Wednesday, October 17th, 2007

Your pet needs to know this is where she will have her puppies. Without it, she is likely to find a place of her own, and it may not be one you like. We’ve known dogs to whelp in closets, under beds, even under the sheets in your bed. Your whelping box should be ready at least 2 weeks prior to her going into labor. Give her time to get used to it and feel comfortable with it.

Monday, October 8th, 2007

Significance

Most pets will become infected with worms at some stage during their lives. But while these worms can cause serious illness in your pets, the good news is that they are simple to eradicate and prevent.

What are Worms?

Intestinal worms affect thousands of Australian pets every year and, if left untreated, can lead to the development of cysts or hydatids in the lung, liver or heart.

FAQ regarding the Aussie Bulldog Character

Thursday, October 4th, 2007

We thought we’d compile some of the questions we commonly get asked regarding the Australian Bulldog temperament, behaviour, requirements etc.

  1. How are Aussie Bulldogs with Children?

We have found our Aussie Bulldogs to be very reliable, loyal and fun in character. We don’t have small children ourselves, however our close friends and family regularly visit and ofcourse they have a ball with the Aussie’s, who equally enjoy the interaction. We think its important for your new fmaily member to be brought up with children if this is the lifestyle they are likely to be subject to. Any dog can be potentially dangerous around children however if trained, socialised and treated with respect it is unlikely that your puppy will develop any unwanted traits. Therefore, yes Aussie Bulldogs are good with children, however they must be supervised, trained, socialised and respected to ensure their sound mental development. Aussie’s have quite a bit of weight behind them too, however some people let them play rough when their young, not realising

Breeding Your Australian Bulldog- Looking for a Stud Dog?

Thursday, September 13th, 2007

We thought we’d post some links to help you in your search for a suitable Stud dog for your Aussie Bulldog Female. If your Aussie Bulldog is registered and has Australian Bulldog papers, don’t waste her by crossing with another breed such as British Bulldog, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Bullmastiff etc. Puppies sired by other breeds will not be registered with the Australian Bulldog Society, only 100% Australian Bulldogs are accepted by our registry. There are lots of very handsome male Aussie Bulldogs out there, that will compliment your female, but we don’t recommend breeding from your female is she doesn’t fit the breed standard, all dogs will have faults but if they outweigh her good points, your unlikely to get any outstanding puppies.
