FAQ
Welcome to our collection of the most frequently asked questions from future puppy owners.
If you can’t find the answer you’re looking for, feel free to contact us – we’re always here for you.
🐾 Which breeds do you breed?
Under the FCI, we breed:
-
Bull Terriers
-
American Pocket Bullies
Each breed has its own unique characteristics – we will be happy to help you choose the one that best matches your lifestyle.
📅 How long is the waiting time for a puppy?
The waiting time depends on availability and breed. Sometimes puppies are available quickly, while other times it can take several months or until the next litter. Since we do not breed all the time and avoid overbreeding, there may be periods when no puppies are available. We therefore recommend early application and reservation.
🐾 Kdaj naj se prijavim, če me zanima prihodnje leglo?
Čim prej.
Ker imamo omejeno število legel letno, so rezervacije pogosto zapolnjene še preden se mladički skotijo.
S prijavo vnaprej si zagotovite svoj prostor in postanete del zgodbe že od začetka.
🏡 Can we visit to see the living conditions of your dogs?
Of course! We are always happy when future owners want to see the environment where our dogs and puppies live. Visits are always arranged in advance to ensure peace and the well-being of our dogs.
📅 When can we visit the puppies?
Visits are possible once the puppies reach 5 weeks of age. At that point, they are more responsive and ready for their first interactions with the outside world. All visits are by prior arrangement and are individual – we take time for each visitor.
🐶 Can we choose the puppy ourselves?
We take your wishes into account, but the final decision is based on the puppy’s character and your lifestyle. Our goal is the perfect match, not just choosing by appearance. Each puppy has its own temperament – and we make sure your new canine friend is the right one for you.
🧬 Are your dogs genetically tested?
Yes, all puppy parents are genetically tested with tests designed for standard Bull Terriers, and they also undergo regular veterinary check-ups. We only breed with healthy, stable, and proven dogs. The parents meet all the requirements of the Slovenian Terrier Club breeding regulations and have passed the official breeding examinations.
💰 Kakšna je cena mladička?
Cena se razlikuje glede na pasmo, kombinacijo staršev, tip legla (razstavni / hišni) in vključene dokumente. Vse cene vključujejo celoten paket in niso skrite. O točni ceni se vedno pogovorimo, ko ugotovimo, ali smo primerni drug za drugega.
📦 What do I receive when picking up a puppy?
- FCI pedigree
-
Veterinary booklet with all vaccinations
-
Starter pack (food, blanket with litter scent, toy)
-
Booklet with information about our breeding and the puppy’s first steps at home
-
Our lifelong support
🌍 Do you sell puppies abroad?
Yes, we have experience in placing our dogs abroad. The conditions are the same as for placing them in Slovenia – with additional logistical and veterinary preparations. The most important factors remain the puppy’s safety and finding a suitable home.
🧡 What if we need help after bringing the puppy home?
We are always available for advice – whether it’s about training, nutrition, shows, or simply to share beautiful moments with your dog. Every photo we receive from you makes us happy!
🕐 Can you let a puppy go earlier than 8 weeks of age?
No. Puppies stay with us until at least 8 weeks of age, as this period is crucial for their emotional and social development. Early separation can affect the dog’s behaviour and health in adulthood.
📄 Do you place puppies with a contract?
Yes, every puppy goes to its new home exclusively with a signed contract. The contract is important for protecting the puppy, the breeder, and the buyer.
It outlines:
-
The basic obligations of both parties (e.g., vaccinations, nutrition, care)
-
The procedure for returning the dog in exceptional circumstances
-
The obligation of spaying/neutering (for pet puppies)
-
Any additional agreements (e.g., show rules, breeding co-ownership, etc.)
📌 The contract is not a “threat” – it is a commitment that both parties work in the best interest of the dog.
🧠 What basic training does the puppy receive before going to a new home?
We familiarise the puppies with basic things: living indoors, house training, car rides, different sounds, handling, and basic commands such as “come” and “no”.
🚗 Do you offer puppy delivery?
We do not offer delivery within Slovenia, as we want to meet new owners in person and discuss all important matters at the handover. This way, we can take the time for questions, advice, and introducing the puppy. For abroad, delivery is possible, but always by prior arrangement.
📜 Can we see the puppy’s parents?
Yes, you can always meet the puppy’s mother – and at our home, you can even meet the grandmother. The males (fathers) are usually not in our care, as we often travel across Europe for breeding to ensure the best possible combinations. Therefore, you usually cannot see the father in person, but we are happy to show you photos, videos, and his pedigree.
💉 What veterinary care does the puppy receive before leaving?
Each puppy is dewormed multiple times, vaccinated according to age, microchipped, and examined by a veterinarian. Upon departure, you will also receive the puppy’s health records and pet passport.
🏆 Are the puppy’s parents show or sport dogs?
Yes, our dogs achieve great success at shows, earning multiple titles and wins. In addition, we engage with them in various sports, such as canicross, which we do for fun and to keep our dogs in good condition, without competing.
