Hi, I am Julie, the Envision half of Envision/Registan.

Paul and I wanted a Bull Terrier 15 years before we finally purchased one! We didn't care if it was a miniature or a standard. Bree, our “mini”, came into our lives in 1996.

A friend told me about Mike and Kathy Flaugh who also live in Indiana and owned Miniature Bull Terriers.  I’d been strictly an obedience exhibitor, showing GSD’s since childhood through the 4-H club’s dog obedience classes, teaching dog obedience to 4-H children & getting an AKC CDX on several GSD’s. We bred Doxies for several years, but again, didn’t care about showing in confirmation events.

I called Kathy and asked if we could meet them and bring Bree for them to see. It was an instant friendship and they offered to show Bree for us in conformation. We learned that Mike and Kathy had been in dogs for more than 35 years, starting with Afghan Hounds and have been very successful in the show ring. That was the start of Envision/Registan and a wonderful friendship.

We’ve come a long way since 1996.

Bree was the Top Producing Female Miniature Bull Terrier of 2000 & 2004. We loved Bree so much that we were ecstatic to able to bring her litter sister “Windy” into our lives. Both girls have produced multiple placing group winners. Including producing the #1 Miniature Bull Terrier Breed & All breed two years in a row!! We have owned or bred many of the top 20 winning dogs in the USA each year.

Envision/Registan was proud to have created the first ever Miniature Bull Terrier Club of America’s calendar to raise money for the health and rescue of our beloved breed and we have organized multiple auctions at the annually supported Kentucky dog shows to raise money for the same. Health and Rescue are very important to us. We do not take it lightly. We do the maximum health testing on all our breeding stock to ensure healthy, happy, quality puppies, but we are not a large kennel. All our Mini Bulls are in-home, not kennel raised, therefore we have only one or two litters per year. Julie is the First Vice President of the Miniature Bull Terrier Club of America and also the Editor of the clubs publication "A Little Bull" Kathy is the Membership Chair of the Miniature Bull Terrier Club of America.

This breed is still considered rare, with less than 150 puppies registered with the American Kennel Club every year. Therefore, it’s not a breed you can get the minute you decide you want one. We advise everyone to shop around, find a breeder they trust, don’t be afraid to ask questions, get on the breeder’s waiting list and be patient. It could take anywhere from 6 months to 2 years to get a puppy unless you’re very lucky, because most breeder’s litters are spoken for before they hit the ground.
