Bandit 7yrs

Scarlettoro Kennels consists of Gabbi and Matt, and our 2 sons Cody and Jakeb. We both work in the dairy industry in rural mid north Victoria.

Matt and I have been together 8 years and even before we met we both had a love for Bull Terriers spanning since childhood. We bought our first Bully (he was a $100 special!), a red & white boy Bandit (g g grandson of Monkromany Sir Joe) and with him he sired one pedigree litter, and we kept a girl, called Jarrah . Unfortunately both parents of the litter had shocking temperaments, and it came out two-fold in their puppies.  We rehomed Bandit and Jarrah a few months later to suitable and experienced homes.

A year or so later we bought our girl Sybill, and soon after she became our foundation bitch. Our breeders prefix was awarded to us in February 2006 although we had been members of our canine council for years. In choosing our prefix name we looked for a word that described our love for the red & white coloured Bull Terriers, and finally we came up with "Scarlettoro" meaning "Red Bull" in Spanish. Embarassed to admit all we knew about breeding back then was that our bitch was entire and she had papers. We wanted puppies and we wanted them that instant! If we had made the effort to do some research into breeding and bloodlines etc we would never have bred our first 2 litters with the dogs we used!!

We are working towards building a kennel of quality dogs that fit our preferences but dont stray from the standard. We are huge admirers of the Bull type- dense bone, great strength & substance, true 'Bulls' that WILL produce their bone and substance in their progeny, but never forgetting shape. 

We also have a keen interest for the Bull Terrier (miniature) and we dont see how anyone who loves a Bully wouldnt love these little guys too. We bought our very first miniature "Mynni" in late 2006 and a huge thank you goes to Kylie Meldrum of the ULADOR prefix for letting us bring this stunning girl home. Mynni was our foundation bitch for our miniature line, and she had her first stunning litter in Jan 2008, we are extremely happy with this litter. She did so well making her babies that we let her retire to a life of luxury in Qld, as we did not expect anything more from her than what she gave us.

We still consider ourselves newbie's and have been told we have a funny way with our words- we dont speak the official breeders language quite right yet! We still have a hell of a way to go, to fully understand all that is required in breeding, and we are still developing the skills we need to know to produce animals that will move the breed forward. If our puppies cant be shown then we hope they are great foundation dogs and bitches for new breeders. We are very keen to hit the show ring soon with our own bred animals and hope 2009 will be the year for us to start doing so. (when we arent working 7 days a week that is!!)
