American Bullies, anyone keepin 'em here?

Im always fond of keepin pitbulls, but unfortunately I had to let go of my previous dogs before since we moved to a different house. Now, Im sure Im ready for another pet dog and I want it to be an American Bully. I just love the way they look. I know there's a controversy between their breed and classic pitbulls but Im not here to discuss that. I just want to know if somebody here owns one and can give my ideas (like feeding, training, care, etc) in keepin them healthy. :)

if i could afford the isurance increase and felt like argueing with idiots for the rest next 15 years id love to have one, i love bully breeds period, there intelligence,loyalty,strength just the whole package, u really cant find a more loyal dog then a pitt, just please train it from a puppy and be consistient. constant socialalization and youll have a great pup

Thanks for the tip, and yep I will train it for sure. Your right about them, their looks bring so much attention good and bad (and often misunderstood), yet what lies beneath those buffed dogs that they arent seein is a very loyal companion.

I have three pit bulls or bullies, whatever you wanna call them. :) And two mixes.

Training and exercise are key. Give lots of love but also have a firm hand. Make sure he or she knows their boundries because if you give them an inch they will take a mile and if you get a puppy be ready for a lot of work. But in the end it can be worth it. :D

They are the best. I will never live a day without at least one by my side.

Here is a link to a forum that deals with all things Bully.

@Jt. : thanks for sharing those wonderful pictures. Priceless moments indeed :gj:

@rjk890: thanks for sharing the forum for bullies. I'll be neeeding all the research I can get before acquiring one. :)

What ever you decide on please don't get a slew footed, bow legged, swayed back, over weight, genetic mess of a dog from a byb or a so called reputable breeder. Which there are very few of (reputable breeders) in the Am Bully world.

Your dogs are beautiful! I love Bully breeds too. I share my house with American Bulldogs:)

We have had the pleasure of american bulldogs for 16 years and love them!! I have never found them hard to train but I know of pleanty of people who have. My only bad luck was allergies. Two of our 3 dogs have them. Also our first bulldog lived to be 14 years old, even with bad allergies (mainly different food allergies) and our pups are actually 7 this year we bought litter mates.
