Bull Terrier stud dogs with hearing, heart and kidney tests
No other dog has that egg-shaped head and those small, triangular eyes. The Bull Terrier is a muscular clown that adores its people. However, deafness, kidney disease and heart defects all occur in the breed. So VerifiedStuds shows each stud's test results and fee, with an identity-verified owner.

Claim this spotBull Terrier stud fees usually run from $800 to $2,000. A health-tested male without titles often charges $800 to $1,500. However, AKC champions and proven sires from show kennels commonly ask $2,000 to $3,000.
These are market estimates, because fees are private. Fully tested studs are scarce in this breed, so the best ones are booked early. Our stud fee guide explains fees and contracts.

Deafness is most common in white Bull Terriers, so every breeding dog should be BAER tested. Inherited kidney disease is found with a simple urine test, which is best repeated each year. In addition, heart defects are checked by a vet or cardiologist. Registered results are on the OFA website.
Our health testing guides explain hearing, heart and patella tests.
First, check hearing on both sides. A dog that is deaf in one ear acts normal at home, so only a BAER test can find it. In addition, ask for the hearing results of his parents and earlier litters.
Next, look at kidneys and heart with dates. Kidney disease can appear in middle age, which is why an older stud with a clean recent urine test is reassuring. The same goes for a heart exam done in the past year.
Finally, judge head, build and character. The head should curve smoothly from skull to nose, and the body should be muscular and balanced. White and colored dogs are shown as two varieties. A good Bull Terrier is friendly and steady, although it can be stubborn.
The AKC describes the Bull Terrier as playful, charming and mischievous. James Hinks of Birmingham, England, refined the breed in the 1860s. His stylish white dogs earned the nickname White Cavalier.
Bull Terriers stand about 21 to 22 inches tall and weigh 50 to 70 pounds. They are funny, affectionate and full of energy. Because they are powerful and headstrong, breeders look for sires with reliable, good-humored temperaments.
Bull Terriers can mate naturally. However, they are strong and excitable, so many breeders choose artificial insemination for safety. Chilled semen also helps, because fully tested sires are spread thinly. Each profile lists the methods on offer.
See the dog artificial insemination guide for the steps. Then read how VerifiedStuds works.

How much is a Bull Terrier stud fee?
Most owners charge $800 to $2,000. However, champions and proven kennel sires can ask up to $3,000.
What health tests should a Bull Terrier stud have?
The parent club list covers a BAER hearing test, a heart exam, a kidney urine test and patellas. We also require a negative brucellosis test.
Are white Bull Terriers more likely to be deaf?
Yes. Deafness is linked to white pigment, so it is more common in the white variety. Colored dogs can be affected too.
What is a UPC test?
It measures protein in the urine compared with creatinine. A high result can be an early sign of inherited kidney disease.
Can Miniature Bull Terriers be listed?
Yes. Every breed is welcome on VerifiedStuds.
