Madcap puppies are raised from birth to be enrichment seekers who enjoy challenges and are ready to take on all of life's adventures. These puppies are thinkers and you should be ready to continue giving them all the enrichment and stimulation they have come to expect from birth. It has been scientifically proven that animals raised in an enriched environment have larger brains, are easier to train, and more emotionally stable. We go to great lengths to try to take advantage of this "enrichment effect" by putting our puppies through a structured program where they get as much appropriate stimulation, training, and socialization as possible. (You can read more about the science behind "The Enrichment Effect" in our article HERE)
We believe that living with free-thinking, self-directed learners who are always ready to work with us is the best thing in the world, but it's not for everyone. If you're more of a "top-down" kind of person, or you believe that a great dog is one that is quiet and not very interactive, you will not enjoy a Madcap puppy. When you buy a Madcap puppy you agree to carry on the understanding the puppy has been raised with. You will sign a contract where you will promise:
-Never to use shock fencing
-Never to use a shock collar
-Never to use a choke or prong collar
-Attend basic training classes with your puppy and be guided by us in your choice of classes
We realize this is not agreeable to everyone so we bring it up here so, if this is not right for you, you can find a puppy from one of the many wonderful breeders out there who will not object to the above items.
Our Policy
Our goal is to breed the best Bull Terriers in temperament, conformation, health, and performance. When we breed a puppy, we make a lifetime commitment. All puppies are sold with a contract that obligates you to certain things, depending on whether the puppy is sold as a pet or a show animal. Some people find this obtrusive but, the welfare of the dogs come first and the desires of people to have a puppy come second. We have become very good friends with the woman who sold us our foundation dogs, as well as the people who bred our dogs' parents and grandparents! We hope to become friends with all of my puppy buyers, too. All of our dogs and the dogs to which we breed have essential health testing done, including, but not limited to, testing for heart and kidney functions, and hearing. Even though we health test and try to use dogs with the very healthiest pedigrees, bad things do happen. If your puppy develops an inheritable, fatal, condition before age 2, we will replace the puppy or refund the purchase price.
We are delighted to place puppies in good homes. Please be aware that all homes will be screened, a home check will be performed, and your references will be checked before you buy a Madcap puppy.
We are located in Northern New Jersey, and we do not ship puppies. If you are interested in buying a puppy, or want to learn more, please fill out a puppy application HERE or CONTACT US if you have any questions.

Separation Anxiety Biting Jumping How you teach your puppy is as important as what you teach your puppy Studies have shown that many common training techniques can actually increase aggression and problem behaviors, which can damage the human-animal bond. The Puppy Culture program will show you how to train your dog while enriching your bond with him, every step of the way. Real life proof that it works Most puppy training videos appear to have been shot in one weekend, using a few easy to train puppies. How do you know those training techniques really work in the long run? Unlike other films, Puppy Culture tracks one litter over three years, so you can see the true results of our program. You’ll see the puppies overcome real and varied behavior challenges and ultimately grow to gentle, well-behaved adult dogs. The truth about socialization During this sensitive time, the puppy is as vulnerable to imprinting negative experiences as he is to imprinting good experiences. This means you need a good plan for socializing your puppy. Your Puppy Culture team gives you a plan and guides you through the process. Learn how to be your puppy’s advocate It can be difficult to stand up to a person in a position of authority, such as a veterinarian or a dog trainer, but you need to learn what’s right and wrong for your puppy, and stand up against bad advice. Puppy Culture’s veterinarians, behaviorists, and breeders give you the facts to know when you’re right, and the conviction to walk way from anything that might harm your puppy.
