American Bully Dog Breed Information

Overview

The American Bully is a companion breed that originated in the United States in 1990. The American Bully Kennel Club (AKBC) was formed in 2004 as the breed gained recognition and became more established. Although the AKBC is an official registry for the American Bully worldwide, they also recognize other bulldog breeds.

The American Bully is similar to the American Staffordshire Terrier in that they were bred specifically for stability, loyalty, and improved physical characteristics and to diminish traits like the dog aggression or gameness their ancestors were prized for. Although the American Bully is similar in appearance to the American Staffordshire Terrier, they tend to have a sturdier and heavier bone structure.
