AMERICAN BULLY: A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE BREED
the American Bully is a recently developed breed of dog the American bully is bred to be a companion dog first appearing in the
1990s the American Bully had a rapid ascent in
Popularity more so than almost any other rare breed both in the United States and abroad
The American Bully is best known for its tough and intimidating appearance
And it’s friendly
But protective nature the breed developed initially from Several American pit bull terrier and American Staffordshire show lines
The initial Vision behind the Breed was the creation of a bullier
pitbull with less drive and less animal aggression this was done for two major reason
the work drive of the American pit bull terrier is so high that the breed often exhibits behaviors such as very high energy and
curiosity that can cause problems [for] a pet home also
American pit Bull terriers often exhibit such extreme dog aggression
That they cannot be trusted around other dogs and small animals it is
Unclear whether or not the initial goal was to develop an entirely new breed or just to alter the temperaments of existing dogs
But a new breed was the result nonetheless
[American] Bully Breed is primarily used the American pit bull terriers and the American Staffordshire terriers
Exclusively as the foundation of their programs although
It is generally known that the American bully contains significant blood from various Mastiff and bull dog breeds
The American Bully breed is unusual for a new breed in that it was not developed primarily by one person or one
breeding program, but rather
crowd-sourced from the yards of hundreds of Breeders across the United States
many of whom were working alone with almost no contact with other breeders and
Adherent to no breed Standard early breeding efforts primarily, but not exclusively
Centered in Virginia and Southern California, [but] quickly spread across the country
Because so many breeders work to develop the American bully
Most without a clear standard or goal in mind the American bully became quite variable in appearance however
recent Standards created by the a [BKC] and ukc
have had a positive effect on the continuity [and] appearance of the breed at least in the
Confirmation ring true change and continuity will not happen until casual breeders do the right thing and focus on the breed
Standards as put forth by reputable registries the development of the American bully has been met with mixed reactions
most Breeders of American Pit bull terriers and ham staffs
Consider the American bully to be inferior to their breed due to its bulky appearance and lack of working ability
American pit Bull terrier Breeders are most concerned that some careless and
Inexperienced breeders have crossed American bullies with their breed and passed the offspring off as pure American pit bull terriers
occasionally purebred American bullies have also been advertised as
American pit bull terriers as well which they feel has seriously compromised the integrity of the American pit bull
Terrier if such practices would stop the American bully would probably be welcomed warmly just as other
Develop bully breeds have been in the past
American [Bullies] are still a very new breed and have not yet received recognition from the American Kennel club however they can be found in
surprisingly large numbers across the United States
This breed not only has a sizable registered population, but a population of unregistered dogs. That is likely
Significantly higher although it does not appear that any population studies have been conducted on the American bully
It is very likely that they [are] already far more American bullies alive in the United states than many breeds which have achieved
Full recognition with the American Kennel club the breeds population is also growing rapidly
Overseas Primarily in South America
Europe and Asia the American bully was bred primarily as a companion animal and [shoulder]
And that is where the breeds immediate future almost certainly lies
however the brief retains the ability to perform a number of
Tasks and the American Bully has been used for personal and property protection law enforcement therapy
Obedience weight pull and dog sports the two major Kennel Club’s that currently registered the American bully [are] the a [b] [casey]
American Bully Kennel Club in The uk C
the United Kennel Club and while a few
Smaller registries have recognized them as well the direction and fate of the breed truly lies in the hands of the two major Kennel club
