About Us

Scarlettoro Make My Day

Nearly a decade ago my partner and I decided to fulfill both of our childhood dreams and finally get a Bull Terrier. We scoured the papers and went to see a handful of Bullies but were not quite right for us. 

A year or so passed and we found a 3yr old girl Sybill, "Bullroy Tarshas Star" and 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 soft spot for the red & white coloured Bull Terriers, and finally we came up with "Scarlettoro" (Scarlet - Toro) meaning "Red Bull" in Spanish. We put Sybill to a tricolour dog we had admired for a couple of years in the showring, which resulted in 5 puppies, Scarlettoro Make My Day, Scarlettoro Miss Magnum and Scarlettoro Mr Callahan "Hector" being 3 of them.

We are a small family orientated kennel where the dogs are not 'stock' but treasured members of the family. They are inside with us when we are or at the dairy relishing in being able to roll around in warm fresh cow dung whenever the mood takes them. They go for runs through our paddocks, trying but never succeeding in catching those 'wascly wabbits' and heading for home with tail between the legs if we see a goanna!

When breeding, our aim is to consistently breed healthy sound typey animals, and not just focus on 1 or 2 virtues. We try to breed dogs who look great any way they stand themselves, and not dogs that have to be manually stacked 'just right' for it to look good. We focus on type, we dont just try to breed a 'cracking' head or 'massive' bone, we dont overlook dogs that have mouth faults, we dont just use the 'flavour of the month' or use a dog because of its colour. If need be we send our bitches to other states to go to the best dogs they can. We dont just use what we have in our backyard to save on stud fee's, it makes our eyes water when we see pictures of clueless kennels doing this and the more pups they produce the less they look like Bull Terriers! Colour should be the last thing looked at when breeding.

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 Bannister 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. Her beautiful son Scarlettoro Gold Bullion was our pride and joy and we could never have imagined life without him. Unfortunately a few weeks after his first mating in early 2010 we came home to find he had died, later confirmed as a tiger snake bite. Miraculously the bitch he mated fell pregnant and we have 5 stunning puppies to carry on their fathers legacy. His sister Mallee is still with us and will be having 2 very special litters later in 2010 and early 2011.
