THE ORIGIN OF THE AMERICAN BULLY BREED
The American Bully breed was created around 1990 and gained recognition and establishment in 2004 with the inception of the American Bully Kennel Club, also known as the ABKC Registry. The United Kennel Club or UKC recognized the American Bully breed in 2013. There are other registries, but for the purposes of this article we will mention the main few- which are the ABKC, BBCR. BRC Global and the UKC.
According to the ABKC- The American Bully breed has been selectively bred to give America’s breed, the American Pit Bull Terrier, a new direction and outlet. Like with the American Staffordshire Terrier, all of the positive characteristics of the breed’s ancestry were kept. Including loyalty, stability with humans and children, along with many of their physical attributes.
Traits of dog and human aggression have been bred out, as they have no future purpose for this trait (outside of hunting & sport) and a reinvented breed was formed — with the purpose of being the ultimate companion breed, and this breed is the “American Bully.”
AMERICAN BULLY TYPES & VARIETIES
In this article, we’ll cover the 4 American Bully Varieties according to the breed’s founding registry — the ABKC. We’ll also shed light on some of the different terms used to describe the different types of American & Exotic Bullies. Terms like Nano, Micro, Teacup, Extreme, XXL & even the latest (not so new) trend “Merle” bullies.
COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS
One of the biggest misconceptions surrounding many of the bully breeds is misclassification of breed and type. There are still scores of people that confuse the American Bully with the American Pit Bull Terrier and other related bully breeds.
Many terms were used to describe the American Bully in it’s infancy — but the American Bully has since established itself as it’s own distinct breed — recognized by several kennel clubs and organizations as such.
THE POCKET AMERICAN BULLY
The Pocket American Bully or ‘pocket bully” is simply a VARIETY (see Varieties below) within the American Bully breed.
AMERICAN BULLY CLASSES OR “VARIETIES”
The American Bully Varieties — also known as “Classes” are determined by adult height — with the pocket variety having a shorter height at adulthood than the Standard. Aside from adult height, the pocket bully is no different than the American Bully or its varieties — nor are there different breeds in its makeup.
AMERICAN BULLY VARIETIES
The American Bully breed consists of 4 Varieties or Classes — amendments to the Standard — for the purpose of classification, useful for dividing the different Varieties in conformation events — also known as dog shows.
Initially there were 5 varieties, but the ABKC did away with the Extreme class in 2014. The “Extreme” class was the same as the standard overall, but carrying more mass. This variety initially allowed some of what they refer to, as “handicaps.” Meaning there was some leniency on certain traits beyond the standard.
The reason for the leniency is these were bigger heavier dogs that needed more time of development to achieve ideal conformation. These “handicaps” were designed to be eliminated over time until this variety met the same standards as the standard.
Standard and Pocket Classes are now not to be penalized for dogs carrying more mass as long as they are correct and balanced.

WHAT BREEDS WERE INVOLVED IN THE FORMATION OF THE AMERICAN BULLY BREED?
According to the UKC- The American Bully breed was subtly influenced by the infusion of several other breeds, which include the American, English, Pacific, Olde English Bulldogge among various other Bulldog breeds.
What differentiates the American Bully breed from it’s ancestors — the American Staffordshire Terrier, American Pit Bull Terrier and various Bulldog breeds — is it’s physical appearance. The American Bully Breed is one of heavier bone structure and “bullier” build than it’s American Pit Bull Terrier and Staffordshire Terrier ancestors, but without as many of the health issues prevalent in it’s Bulldog ancestry.
To many, it’s the perfect blend, a breed without the gameness and drive of a an American Pit Bull Terrier, yet more active and with less health issues than many of the Bulldog breeds in its makeup.
The result: a calm, confident breed of dog with a statuesque build that many consider the perfect companion.

Confident yet non-aggressive, the American Bully breed is known for it’s gentle temperament, playful sense of humor and developing strong bonds with their owners and family. Human aggression is not tolerated for any reason and animal aggression is rare. Many American Bullies make fast friends with people, other breeds and even other species.

HEALTH ISSUES IN THE AMERICAN BULLY BREED
What are some of the health issues present in the American Bully breed? There are health issues in every breed of dog, some more prevalent in some breeds than others. That being said, some of the health issues found in some American Bullies include:
- Elongated Soft Palate
- Enlarged Heart
- Heart Murmurs
- Hip & Joint Issues
SOCIALIZATION
Socialization is one of the most important steps to take with your American Bully. Socialize very thoroughly when young to curb any dog aggressive tendencies. It has given outstanding results as a guardian of property, while at the same time esteemed as an excellent companion dog.
This breed is not for the passive owner who does not understand that all dogs have an instinct to have a pack order. Take the time and socialize your American Bully puppy while they are still young. This will ensure a well-socialized and happy bully.
IDEAL OWNERS
The American Bully needs an owner who is firm, but calm, confident and consistent. They need to know what is expected of them; rules to follow and limits to what they are and are not allowed to do. The objective in training and successfully keeping this dog is to achieve pack leader status.
It is a natural instinct for a dog to have an order in their pack. When we humans live with dogs, we become their pack. The entire pack cooperates under a single leader; lines are clearly defined. You and all other humans MUST be higher up in the order than the dog.
This is the best way to ensure is the relationship will be a success.

AMERICAN BULLY STUD SERVICE
Most breeders offer a stud service. If you are new to breeding dogs, you should definitely take advantage of this.
ADVANTAGES TO USING A STUD DOG
Many that get started in the dog breeding business usually purchase a stud dog or two along with some female dogs. As Venomline discussed in American Bully Breeding 101, the better way of going about this is to start off by purchasing female dogs.
When your female reaches breeding age you can contact the kennels that offer stud service or contact the kennel you purchased your female puppy from to use their Studs.
Housing, feeding, and taking care of stud dogs is expensive and you’re not always guaranteed to have a great stud dog once they mature.

DECIDING ON AN AMERICAN BULLY STUD
There are many ways to find a Top American Bully Stud — these can include in person events like dog shows hosted by the ABKC, UKC, BRC, a search on any of the online pedigree database like Bullypedia, BullyPedex or BullyDex. These can be especially useful if you’re considering line breeding and looking for a common ancestor.
Lastly, through word of mouth or by traveling to the Stud Owner to see the Stud in person. Breeders that use photoshop will do just about anything possible in order to avoid having their Customers seeing their dogs in person. It’s understandable if a Top Stud owner is busy, but most will make time for Customers who are traveling down.
If you get a resistance when asking if you can see the Stud in person for the breeding — this is usually a red flag. Not every Stud dog online is what they look like in photos, many are photoshopped.
