Ears:<\/strong> The Bully’s ears are high-set, pricked, or unpricked. Wide ears are not a preferred breed standard.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nExamine Your Bully\u2019s Body<\/h3>\n\n\n\n The American Bully’s neck is muscular and has an arch at the crest, and it widens towards the shoulder area. It’s smooth and free from sagging skin or dewlaps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Bully is broad of the chest that’s typically wider than deep. It has a straight and strong back, tapering slightly toward the tail base. Although broad-chested, the breed standard does not accept disproportionate chest proportions restricting movement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The forelimbs are strong and straight. And the distance from the withers to the elbow should be the same as the elbow to the ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
An American Bully’s hindquarters are muscular, with a well-bent hock. The Bully rump is firm and well filled out, and the tail tapers to a point and maybe straight, or crank handle shaped. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ABKC Only Recognizes 4 Size Divisions <\/h2>\n\n\n\n Although non-standard size divisions are advertised on social media, such as Macro and XXL\/Extreme, the ABKC recognizes only four size divisions in their breed standards. Typically excessively tall or excessively small or compromised bodily structures are also not accepted in the UKC breed standard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you wish to know which type of American bully you own, an easy way to determine its type is by the height and weight distinctions listed in the UKC and ABKC breed standards discussed below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
American Bully Standard\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n The UKC determines the ideal mature male height to be 17 to 20 inches (43 to 51 cm), at the withers (top of the shoulder), and females at 16 to 19 inches (41 to 48 cm). However, dogs slightly above and below these ranges are permissible if they exhibit balance and overall proportion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pocket American Bully <\/h3>\n\n\n\n The ABKC bases the Pocket bully designation on the adult height only, and the pocket bully conforms to all the American Bully breed standards. Like the Standard bully, they share a muscular physique with a compact body, broad angular head, and pronounced jaw muscles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the Pocket Bully could hardly fit a pocket, such as the pocket Yorkie. The adult male height is under 17 inches (43cm), and the female adult height is under 16 inches (40 cm) but not less than 13 inches (33 cm) at the withers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Classic American Bully <\/h3>\n\n\n\n Unlike the pocket Bully, the Classic American Bully is not a mere height or weight division from the breed standard. The Classic bully has a different body structure with lighter body frames and less pronounced musculature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both males and females follow the American pit bull conformation more closely than other types of American Bully. Consequently, their bodies appear narrower, lighter, and more athletic than their bully cousins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other than the build, the Classic Bully male adult follows the same UKC standard of 17 to 20 inches (43 to 51 cm) at the withers while females are 16 to 19 inches (40 to 48 cm) at the withers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
XL American Bully<\/h3>\n\n\n\n The XL Bully follows the same breed standards regarding conformation as the UKC and ABKC. It attains its ABKC designation as XL by its difference from the bully height which is taller than the UKC breed standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most imposing Bully type, the XL bully adult male, stands a fearsome 21 to 23 inches (51 to 57 cm) at the withers, and the adult female stands 19 to 22 inches (48 to 54 cm.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n The original breeders of the American Bully sought to create a family dog with the heart and strength of a pit bull without less aggression than the typical pit bull-type breed. As a result, a formidable-looking dog with a heart of gold and an excellent reputation for loving nature was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, whatever type of American Bully you own, you should always ensure proper training and socialization. American Bullies are strong dogs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The American Bully is a relatively recent and well-received dog breed that takes the iconic American pit Bull genes and blends them with the courageous and muscular American and English bulldog.
