Close to 35 years ago I moved out of home, started a new job and was excited about what lay ahead. Top of my priority list... buy a bulldog! I began a fascination with bulldogs after I was given a charming little book, The Shaman Bulldog - a love story. I thoroughly researched different breeds, their temperaments, grooming, feeding and exercising. I wanted to ensure the breed would match my everyday life and the dog would receive the lifestyle it deserved. After further research, I knew the British Bulldog was the breed for me.
I read about all the issues British Bulldogs could have and I was anxious to find a breeder I felt loved the breed and truly cared about raising healthy dogs. It turned out to be a very long and frustrating process. While attending a country dog show I found a breeder who was releasing a male, ex-show British Bulldog for sale. T-Bone came into my life, stealing my heart and my bed!
This breed is truly like no other, and some do have a lot of health issues. The bulldogs following T-Bone have mainly been health issue free. Breeding healthy bulldogs and sharing with you the raw, organic products made especially for bulldogs and promoting a fresh food diet were the factors compelling me to become a small registered boutique breeder. I take great pleasure in alerting people to how healthy and active British Bulldogs can be, to help remove the stigma from the breed, and to take the fear out of buying one of these beautiful dogs.
The aim of 'Salty Paws Australia' was two-fold; to breed healthy, happy bulldogs that better the breed for years to come and to provide nutritional advice along with handcrafting natural products to care for this breed. As a breeder (former as of 2023), I would like to educate future buyers that it is a privilege to own these special little beings, you are not buying a dog, you are adopting a four-legged child. If you have always wanted a British Bulldog, but finding the right breeder has always seemed too hard then hopefully the information you find on my pages will make the process a lot easier and more reassuring for you.
T-Bone was my first British Bulldog. He started my love affair with the breed and I couldn't leave this page without giving him an honourable mention. Thank you to Nathan, family and friends for making this possible.
