American bully originated from American Pit Bull Terriers and other bulldog breeds. The development of this breed began in the 1980s. On July 15, 2013, American Bully breed was recognized by the United Kennel Club.
Despite being a modern breed, American bullies come in different sizes; standard, XL, classic, and pocket size. American bullies are athletic, muscular, and tenacious but definitely not aggressive. They are described as perfect companion dogs - friendly and loyal.
Due to the status symbol attached to them, owning one would certainly be an expensive purchase. Education, training, and socialization are deal-breakers to their personality and behavior.

GROOMING YOUR AMERICAN BULLY
American Bullies may be a large type of dog but since they have short coats that moderately shed, grooming them is not much of an inconvenience. It is easy and manageable to keep them neat and posh. Brush them at least once a week; too much brushing will damage their coats and they will shed more than usual. Bath them only when necessary. When it gets cold, keep them indoors and give them blankets. Always check their skin for any signs of allergies, irritations, and parasites.
