The American Bully is an emerging breed that became officially recognized by the American Bully Kennel Club in 2004 and the United Kennel Club in 2013. This means the breed is still considered very young. However, the popularity of American Bully bloodlines cannot be denied.

These incredible companion dogs are formed by breeding American Staffordshire Terriers and American Pit Bulls to different types of bulldog-related breeds. While they may look menacing, these dogs are quite the opposite. Their demeanor is relatively calm, they show great loyalty to their families, and they are normally good around children.

The 5 Classes of the American Bully

When this breed was originally formed, the American Bully had four basic types: Classic, Standard, XL, and Pocket. Since these early beginnings, a new type, Extreme, has been added, making five breed types. Let’s take a quick look at each one.

1. Standard

This Bully was officially born in the 1990s as the show dog version of an American Pit Bull Terrier. Standard Bullies are muscular and thick. Their bodies are compact with broad chests and large heads giving them the look of a powerful dog. The Standard is a very affectionate dog which is great for a companion. Families who have a Standard Bully should keep their eyes open for injuries, however, as these dogs have high tolerances for pain.

---

2. Classic

This Bully type is similar to the Standard except for a leaner build. This gives this type of Bully a more traditional look and more agility than the Standard. This type’s characteristics are very similar to those of the Standard. They are great with their families, stranger friendly when being treated well, and in most situations, great with children.

---

3. XL

This type of Bully is another that is an amendment of the Standard. The XL is stronger and taller than the Standard which makes it the biggest of the Bully breeds. Breeding XL Bullies can be quite difficult, however, as meeting requirements is hard considering the overall size of these dogs.

---

4. Pocket

The Pocket Bully is similar to the Standard and other Bully types except for being the shorter of the breed. While it is shorter, this type still carries the weight and muscular build of the others. The Pocket Bully was originally bred for pet owners who wanted a Bully breed but in a compact version.

---

5. Extreme

The biggest difference between the Extreme Bully and other types is the higher raised rear and tight lips they normally possess. These dogs are quite muscular and compact while having large skulls and out-turned hindquarters.

Final Thoughts

There are several types of American Bully bloodlines out there. With the popularity of this dog breed on the rise, more people are striving to make one of these amazing dogs their next best friend. As always, when seeking a purebred dog, ensure any breeder you turn to uses ethical methods and ensures the health of their dogs. This will ensure your American Bully lives a long and happy life.
