    1. Measure Your American Bully<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The first thing you need to do is measure your dog so that you can get the right-sized materials. An XL Bully can range in size depending on its sex. Female American Bullies are typically between 19 and 22 inches (48.26\u201355.88 cm).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Extra-large female dogs need a whelping box that’s at least 48 x 40 in (121.92 x 101.6 cm) to give them plenty of space to move around. This PUPez Whelping Box<\/a> (available on Amazon.com) is a good option because it’s large enough for even the biggest dogs. It also has an adjustable entrance height so your dog can comfortably enter and exit the box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If your American is small, you may be able to get away with using a box closer to 42 inches x 34 in (106.68 x 86.36 cm). Just be sure to adjust the instructions accordingly if your measurements are different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
