The American Bully
The American Bully was established within the United Stated in the 1990's. The
breed originated from Virginia as well as California. Many dedicated breeders
worked on the breed to create the perfect family companion. The American Bully
breed was created with both American Pit Bull Terrier and the American
Staffordshire Terrier, however, other bully and non-bully breeds were included
as well in certain breeding lines. It was the belief that by combining the
American Pit Bull Terrier and the American Staffordshire Terrier that qualities
such as consistency, loyalty, friendliness, sociability and an upbeat attitude
would be prominent. The American Bully is currently recognized by the following
registries: ABKC, UCA, DRA, EBKC and BBC.

The male American Bully can grow to reach heights from 18-21 inches while the
female varies only slightly reaching heights from 17-20 inches. The American
