By Betty Bennett


Most people who love dogs have favorite breeds. There are those who love little dogs they can carry around with them and spend countless hours curled up beside them. Individuals who enjoy active lifestyles often prefer large energetic animals that love the outdoors and want to accompany their human families on hiking and biking adventures. Still others purchase dogs for protection as well as companions and like the fact that their animal can be intimidating to strangers. If you are looking for a sturdy, loving pet with a reputation as a ferocious defender of their homes, American Bully puppies for sale might be right for you.

These feisty dogs came into being as a cross between the American Pit Bull Terrier and the Stafford Terrier. The breeders had the goal of creating a great family dog with the outstanding traits of both terriers. Over the years a lot of breeders have attempted to diminish the reputation some bulldogs have for aggression and ferociousness.

Bullies are medium size animals that range in height from about one feet to somewhat less that two feet. They are very strong, muscular dogs with broad chests and stocky legs and may weigh anywhere from seventy to over hundred pounds as adults. The ratio of height to weight is considered more important than the actual inches and pounds.

Despite their demeanor the Bully is a very loving and patient pet with children and loves to interact with family members. They will seek attention and want to be petted and made an integral part of the household. These dogs have confident personalities and want to please their owners. They are intelligent and curious without being destructive, if they have been well trained.

These are also tremendously protective animals that have no problem defending their homes and families against any perceived threat. They are extremely strong dogs that must be socialized early. These pets need to understand exactly what is expected of them and who is in charge. They cannot be allowed to get the upper hand in the household because they can become aggressive and hard to control without firm, consistent, and calm training.

Bullies have plenty of energy and love to be active, but they don't require a lot of space to run and roam. Surprisingly, they can do very well in an urban apartment or condo as long as their owners are willing to take them on long walks a couple times a day. Cold weather is something most of these dogs would rather avoid. It may be difficult to get them to agree to much time outside when it's cold and unpleasant.

Individuals considering one of these puppies as pets should know there are breeders willing to inject steroids into their animals in order to increase their size and muscularity, making them more attractive to certain types of people. You should always avoid doing business with these kinds of breeders. These drugs can cause organ and joint problems for the adult dogs.

Bullies can make great pets. They are loving and companionable when they are treated gently but firmly.
