QUESTIONS BREEDERS MAY ASK BUYERS

 The following are topics you can expect to discuss:

• What attracts you to or makes you want to own a Bull Terrier?

• What dog experience, particularly Bull Terrier experience, do you have?

• Tell me about your domestic details? (i.e. where do you live, marital status, homeowner, employment situation, children and their ages. Is someone home during the time you are at work?

• Tell me about your lifestyle. ( you will get questions about who is the primary care giver, what is the family activity level, do you have other pets, fenced yard (size and type of fencing).

• what do you do in your free time and will it include the puppy, where do you vacation and how often, have you considered BT care giving when you must be absent, As they age, BTs frequently are couch/bed potatoes, is this OK, do you know BTs are a shedding breed  - is this OK?)

If you are entertaining thoughts of becoming involved in a puppy that the breeder has designated as one with show and breeding potential, here are some additional considerations to those listed above:

• Heat Cycles                    Breeding Arrangements                     Whelping Arrangements

• Intact Male Behavior                Financial Commitments                     Availability for Showing

• Health Screenings Responsibilities

Companion puppies are frequently available on a sole ownership basis.  This may be contingent on receipt of a spay/neuter certificate or possibly a “Limited Registration”.   Those puppies with show or breeding potential will most likely be sold on a co-ownership arrangement with the above listed terms specified in a contract.
