About Zelda
ZELDA — A Beautiful Bull Arab Pup with Brains, Heart and Bounce
We absolutely love our Bull Arabs here at Southern Downs ARK, and Zelda is a fine example of the breed.
Born on 6 October 2025, Zelda is a pretty Bull Arab puppy weighing 8.4 kg as at 15 December. She is friendly, confident, and social girl. She gets along well with other dogs of all sizes. She loves people, happily follows children around and thrives on attention. Energetic and playful, she enjoys chasing toys, tummy scratches, and being part of the action.
The Bull Arab is a fair dinkum Aussie breed, developed in the 1970s from Bull Terrier, Greyhound, and German Shorthaired Pointer. They're known for their loyalty, intelligence and desire to develop deep bonds with their humans. They make great companion and family dogs.
Zelda is currently being toilet trained and is learning basic obedience. Clever and food-motivated, she thrives with gentle, consistent guidance, which is key to helping her reach her full potential.
Her ideal home will have a good-sized yard, secure fencing, and humans who regard her as part of the family. She will grow into a strong, capable dog — big enough to deter even the most determined intruder.
Prior experience with Bull Arabs or larger breed dogs is highly regarded. She’s young enough to be trained to live with cats and would thrive in a loving, structured home.
