The American Bully is a relatively new breed developed in the 1990s in the United States by combining American Pit Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers, and other bulldog-type breeds. The result is a dog that blends strength with sweetness – loyal, loving, and confident.

Despite their tough appearance, American Bullies are companion dogs through and through. They are extremely affectionate with family, including children, and often get along well with other pets when properly socialized.

They come in several size varieties (Standard, Pocket, XL, Classic), but all share a broad head, muscular body, and smooth short coat. With the right structure, they’re easy to live with – calm indoors, playful outdoors, and always eager to be part of the action.
