History
Established in the United States between 1980 and 1990, American Bully is produced using the foundations of American Staffordshire Terriers and American Pit Bull Terriers that are bred for some bulldog-type breeds. It was made for the purpose of being a family companion dog.
While some of the co-founders, Razor's Edge proprietor Dave Wilson, assert that they only use the first two breeds mentioned above to produce the desired dog, it is the consensus that at least five other breeds are used to achieve more "bully" physical properties. desired. This is assumed as the American Bulldog, British Bulldog, Olde English Bulldogge, Staffordshire Bull Terrier and French Bulldog.
According to ABKC, the initial desire for this type is to produce a dog with a lower thrust and more "annoying" properties than the American Staffordshire Terrier. Heavy mass and bones are prioritized to ensure such a look, and because of this many dogs displayed today showcase the vast front they were originally raised on.
This breed was first recognized by its breed club, American Bully Kennel Club, in 2004. The registry first acts as a means of documenting genealogy and showing breeds to its written standards.
During the early years of the breed, various dogs were performed, showing many of the physical features of other introduced breeds; this is severely punished by the registry, forcing the owners and breeders of the dog to create new ways to show their dog style without being rejected.

Variety
In ABKC, the four varieties are separated by height without weight specification. All these varieties are expected to follow the same standards with little change.
All dogs are classified and displayed as Standards until they reach the age of one year, at which point they are separated into varieties and displayed against their own kind.
Classic
The native style of American Bully is Classic ; these dogs do not feature excessive features that are often found in other varieties, and arguably showcase more clearly UKC American Pit Bull Terrier/American Staffordshire Terrier breeds.
The Classic is a lighter dog than Standard but falls within the same height range; Male dogs must be 17 to 20 years old (43-51 cm) whereas female dogs must be 16 to 19 years old (41 to 48 cm). Although framed lighter, classical dogs should not be equated with dogs that have no breed type.
Standard
Type Standard is a compact and muscular dog with a large block head.
Elevation of basic standards for Pocket Bully is different for men and women. Males are slightly larger than females. Male below 17 inches (43 cm) and no shorter than 14 inches (36 cm) in withers. Women under 16 inches (40cm) and no shorter than 13 inches (33 cm). In addition to height, Pocket Bullies are built similar to a variety of standards.
XL
Arguably the kind that shows the greatest diversity in appearance, XL is created by mixing dogs other than just pitbulls (ie Cane Corso, Neo mastiffs, etc.) These animals tend to be muscular.
Unofficial type
Outside the standard dog race is shorter or taller than its name, and, the more exaggerated dog has been raised under the name of American Bully. Small dogs are sometimes called "Micro" and the larger one is called "XXL", but is not recognized by the kennel club as a legitimate variety. Previously the fifth category was accepted, Extreme , but as a breed intended to overweight the ABKC removed categories for the purpose of the show.
Temperament
The American Bully is a very adaptable type, often acting as a companion dog lying at home while showing the passion for life and energy while outside. Many dogs, though acting as lap dogs at home, exercise well like weight-pullers and flirtatious. Although very good in sports and public misunderstandings, dog and human aggression is not recommended in breeds.
Health
Health problems vary in breeds, and reach across the spectrum; with some varieties plagued by problems, and others well documented for health and quality. Testing is not a common place in the breed as in older breeds; although hip and elbow scores are the most common. The eyes of cherry, ectropion and entropion are often seen to affect the eyes; while Brachycephalic Respiratory Syndrome can be seen in shorter dogs.
