Q. & A. with Alexander
Why did you start breeding?
Embarking on a journey as a breeder, I found myself immersed in an emotional rollercoaster. From the exhilarating anticipation of each mating to the excitement of witnessing new life entering the world, every moment was filled with a mix of joy, wonder, and nervousness. Yet, it was the emotional connection with the puppies that truly touched my heart. Seeing their tiny paws take their first steps, witnessing their innocent exploration of the world, and ultimately placing them in loving homes - these moments brought tears of happiness and fulfillment. Through the highs and lows, the emotional bond forged with the puppies and their new families made every sacrifice worth the journey.What makes your program special?
Committed to responsible dog breeding, I uphold the highest standards. Ensuring the health, welfare, and happiness of every dog is my top priority. Exceptional care throughout pregnancy, I strive to produce healthy and well-socialized puppies. Placing each one in loving homes where they'll be cherished and cared for is my ultimate goal. With a devotion to responsible breeding practices, I'm dedicated to making a positive impact in the world of dog breeding.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Alexander was super patient and kind. He was also accommodating since I live in Florida and he is in Texas. When I first got my puppy I had so many questions and he would always respond at any hour!

We are beyond happy with our experience with Alexander Stephens of San Antonio, Texas. He was very communicative throughout the whole process and was very accommodating to meet us half way. He was helpful when I was having trouble with my payment going through. We have had our handsome little boy home with us for a couple days now and because of how the Breeder raised him, he is already almost potty trained and taking very well to naps in his kennel. We would highly recommend this Breeder, not only for his beautiful pups, but for his professionalism and care.

+4We are from AZ and were looking for a Bill Terrier puppy. Alexander Stephens of San Antonio had just what we wanted and was great to work with! Harley (previous Sweet Pea) is great… our little Texas Tornado!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Alexander, a distinguished Bull Terrier breeder, and I cannot praise his professionalism enough. From our very first interaction, he exhibited a deep commitment to both his dogs and prospective owners. His transparency was remarkable; he clearly explained the health testing protocols conducted on all his breeding dogs, ensuring I felt confident about my puppy’s well-being. He took the time to answer all my questions, which spoke volumes about his dedication and knowledge. Throughout the waiting period, Alexander kept me informed with regular updates and photos of my puppy. Each message was filled with enthusiasm and details about my puppy’s growth, making me feel connected even before I brought my new friend home. In an extraordinary display of his dedication, he even flew to my local airport to bring my puppy to me personally, which truly made the experience memorable. When it was finally time to pick up my Bull Terrier, I could see the love and care Alexander invests in his dogs, and he provided valuable insights on feeding, training, and health care. Overall, I highly recommend Alexander Stephens for anyone looking to adopt a Bull Terrier. His professionalism, thoroughness, and genuine passion for the breed set him apart from other breeders! It was an all-around wonderful experience.

+5This was a wonderful experience. The breeder was very caring and kept me updated with “pupdates” as Taz grew. I was nervous about the process and he really went above and beyond to ease my anxiety’s. Our puppy is amazing. We adore him. He was my Mother’s Day present. I am looking forward to many fun adventures with him. Thank you for the support as I transitioned into Bull Terrier owner 😊
