Welcome.

Manage to get him downloaded I think



When we were choosing him


With that face we couldnt resist


The reason for choosing him was he was the one who was the most laid back out of the four, well for his brindle brother just kept decking everybody !!!

Dexter looks handsome and i bet you can't wait

I am trying to think of the breeders name who lives that way
Give me the first letter of their Affix
Good luck and anything we can help with just ask

[Purple]

We cant wait either, we spoke to the breeder yesterday and he is doing well and has found he's feet and a little bark!!!

The breeders first letter is J and we hope to get a bitch in the near future - another mini

We will send more photos once we have collected him

It will be well worth the wait and your life will change for ever, for the better.
Is that initial for the persons name or their kennel/affix name ?

Not long now

JUSTEPH MINIATURE BULL TERRIER by lynne Everett ???????????????
I don't recognise the name but then again i don't go to many miniature shows.
I have been told by many standard breeders that they can be little terrors, as with most small breeds they can be quite vocal and very, very busy Just make sure that you take it to puppy socialization classes as soon as you can as they can also be a little more like " I might be little but I am a Bull Terrier, so don't mess" But as with most Bullies their bark is far worse than their bites
Have you also joined some of the rescue sites in the UK they are also very good for people new to the breed and there is a lot of people on them with mini's
Have fun and be sure to post loads more pictures x

Yeah Lynn was really nice absolutely mad on her dogs and very knowledgeable about them.

She did say that they are full of beans and a lot more livelier than the standards, also they still have all the trademarks that a standard have being stubborn at times.

We are looking forward to having our dog together although we have been brought up around dogs and have done alot of research on the bull terrier breed.

Only 2 more days to wait until we get him.

He is adorable! Congratulations!

We manage to get Ickle Dexter on weds havnt got many pics but heres a few

Hes a right poser


And his ears are sticking up


And asleep in his new bed


A quick report on Dexter

Doing his pees and poos on paper 90 % of the time so hes doing well.

Eating his food well on tripe and dried food and eating all of it

loves sleepin on us and likes lots of cuddles

He is the master of escapes ( out of a the area we have guarded around ) funny but were getting wiser

Finding his legs now and getting steadier on his feet

The only thing we are worried about is when we picked him up he had a bit of a cold and hes got a bit of a wheezing cough type? any suggestions would be appreciated.
