Breed Information
Overview
This dog breed has a jovial personality and will be a loving family pet. They also will provide a sense of security as your watchdog. Early socialization with other breeds is vital to curb any suspicion or aggressiveness toward other animals. With people, this is a generally friendly dog.
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.
Temperament
The American Bully may look intimidating, but they are a companion breed that loves their family, bonds closely with them, and is affectionate towards them. They tend to be confident dogs with a friendly nature and an energetic personality. They tend to have a gentle demeanor and get along fantastically with children.
American Bullies also tend to get along well with strangers, other dogs, and other animals. Any aggression towards humans or dogs or shy or reserved behavior is not characteristic of the breed. Should these behaviors appear in an American Bully, they are generally the result of poor socialization or poor training and are not breed-related.
