About Us

Main founder - Laurie has been with and owned bull terriers since 1991:

'It all started with Charlie; an adorable white bullie from Battersea...and what can I say? I won't own any other breed now. Nothing compares to a bull terrier.'

Matt was introduced to bull terriers in 2002 when he met Sampson (Night Prince).

'Affectionate. Lazy. Obstinate. Inquisitive. Clumsy. Mischievous. Amusing. Adorable. Sneaky. How else do you describe a bull terrier. Uniquely wonderful.'

Laurie started showing Sampson in August 2001. His success ran quite well, winning one Best-Of-Breed, Best A.V.N.S.C. Terrier & Puppy and Best Coloured Bull Terrier of Wales (September 2003). This is amongst numerous placings almost every time he was shown. Sampson has now retired from the showring, so he can sit back, lounge on the sofa and get fat.

We both view the dogs (all dogs) as members of the family and should be respectfully treated as such. We are of the view - if you haven't got the time, energy or patience for a dog, whatever the breed, then you shouldn't own one.

OnyxMoon is currently based in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire in the UK, with the surroundings of fields and countryside. We are often seen out exercising the dogs. Our dogs are also raised with children.

OnyxMoon believes a dog is for life and not for making money. We wish to improve the breed, not line pockets.
