American Bully Puppies

Since they were bred to be family and companion dogs, American Bullies are fairly laid back, happy, and good-natured. They're not overly energetic, but they still enjoy and require a decent amount of exercise. Despite common misconception, the American Bully is not aggressive toward unfamiliar people or other animals. In fact, they are very gentle and loving toward people, sometimes even strangers. This breed is also very gentle with children and can become very protective over them and the rest of their family. All in all, the American Bully makes a loyal, trustworthy family companion.

American Bullies can suffer from hip dysplasia due to their size and stance. They also can be prone to hypothyroidism, so you should keep an eye on your pup's weight and energy levels.

If you notice your dog engaging in destructive chewing, jumping up on people, or rough play, there's a chance your American Bully isn't getting the needed amount of daily exercise. Prevent a sedentary lifestyle with backyard games and puzzles for this canine to solve. 

They are very low maintenance do to their manageable short coat and minimal shedding. They do a great job of keeping themselves clean and can go months without a bath.

American Bullies shed their short coats minimally throughout the year. Their coat is easily manageable, and regular brushing allows you to remove most of the loose hair before it falls in your home.

With four recognized size variations, the American Bully presents in standard, pocket, classic and extra-large types. Although this is a companion dog by nature, its physical appearance is powerful and athletic. To the touch, the coat should feel hard and tight-fitting. Overall, their potentially aggressive exterior gives way to a soft, gentle personality.

The American Bully is a fairly new dog breed and didn't originate until the 1980s. This breed came about by crossing American Staffordshire Terriers, American Pit Bull Terriers, and several types of bulldogs, with the goal of creating a companion dog with a lower drive. The breed has origins on both the east and west coast of the United States, especially in Virginia and California. Since its origin, the American Bully can be found across the whole United States, and even Europe and Asia. The American Bully Kennel Club (ABKC) recognized the breed in 2004, but it has yet to receive recognition from the American Kennel Club (AKC).
