American Bully Dog

 

The American Bully is also sometimes called the Bully pit or American Bully Pit. t is often thought that the American Bully is a type of Pitbull but this is not true. These two breeds are actually completely different. 

History – The American Bully originated in the United States. The American Bully breed was established in the mid-1990s with the purpose of creating the ultimate family companion. The American Bully was created through years of selective breeding by combining the desired traits of the UKC American Pit Bull Terrier and the AKC American Staffordshire Terrier.

A Standard American Bully has a body mass with the thick-set sturdy build and proper muscle tone. The dog’s head is in proportion to its body. Note that the traits above are the general appearance of Bully Breeds and variations are depending on their size.

IT is an extremely courageous and intelligent guard dog that is very full of life.  Highly protective of his owners and the owner's property. This unique breed is noted for displaying extreme tolerance with children and an overwhelming eagerness to please its family. Confident, yet not aggressive, this breed possesses a very pleasant temperament.

Health - The most common disorder is Hip dysplasia affecting canines and it is genetically inherited. Beware some Bully breeders give their dogs steroids to produce a large muscular body. When the drugs are stopped the dog's body shrinks back down to a normal size, but leaves the dog with many health issues including organ and joint problems. Sometimes these drugs get passed from mother to puppy. If you are in the market to adopt a Bully be sure to find a drug- free breeder.

Grooming - The smooth, short-haired coat is easy to groom. Brush on a regular basis with a firm bristle brush, and bathe or dry shampoo as necessary.

This breed is an average shedder. The only disadvantage of the dog’s coat is that the animal can get cold too quickly. The sweater or jacket is going to be helpful to the dog (Prefer warm climates). Trimming nails and cleaning ear should be part of grooming routine.

Exercise – American Bullies must have plenty of regular exercise including a long brisk daily pack walk to relieve mental and physical energy. Dog agility is a physical activity that requires jumping, dodging and crossing obstacles. This exercise also counts as obedience training. American Bullies will do okay in an apartment if it is sufficiently exercised. They are very active indoors and will do alright without a yard provided.

Training – Training also includes socialization with other animals or people and making the puppy accustomed to its environments. The obedience training early on (while they are puppies) will help them develop into a well-adjusted, well-mannered adult. Training your dog can be a great way to bond with them.

Food - The food should be high-quality and nutritious. How much food you give to your dog depends on it an appetite, but the general rule is not to overfed or underfed your pet. Check with your vet if you have any concern about your dog’s weight and diet. Watch your dog’s calorie consumption and weight level to protect from overweight.
