Established in the United States somewhere between 1980 and 1990, the American Bully was delivered utilising an establishment of American Staffordshire Terriers and Pit – Bull Terriers to a few bulldog-type breeds. The purpose of the breed was to create a loyal family companion dog.
While some of the founding kennels attested that they utilised just the two first previously mentioned breeds to produce the desired dogs, it is consensus that at least five other breeds were used to attain the more “bully” physical traits desired. These are assumed to be the American Bulldog, English Bulldog, Olde English Bulldogge, Staffordshire Bull Terrier and French Bulldog.
The underlying desire for this variety was to create a dog with a lower prey drive and a greater amount of mass, bully and more bulkier attributes than the American Staffordshire Terrier.
Mass and overwhelming heavy bone was the focus purpose to guarantee such a look, they are easily one of the most well-muscled breeds out there and have been bred to have a wide chest to accommodate for it.
