How to Differentiate between American Bully Types

Question

Accepted Answer

American Bullies have become increasingly popular amongst dog owners due to their outgoing personalities, loyalty, and tenaciousness. They come in many different types—or “styles” as some call them—which may make it difficult to differentiate between. By understanding both the American Bully Kennel Club (ABKC) and United Kennel Club (UKC) standards, you’ll be able to spot the differences between various bully types more easily.

First off, there are three distinct sizes that bulls fall into: Standard, Pocket, and XL. While each size group may come in several unique styles, all three tend to boast a stocky build with bulky muscles and heads that feature sleek lines and inset eyes for a terrier-like look. Each group will also typically feature short coat lengths for easy maintenance too.

Standard American Bullies stand taller than 14 inches but should not exceed 20 inches at the shoulder; they exhibit an overall active physical appearance of power with bold features but yet still remain friendly and sociable companions. Pocket Bulldogs are those who stand 13 inches or less at the shoulder while XL American Bullies tip the scales in terms of height ranging anywhere from 21–35 inches at maturity.

In addition to size variations among bullies, there are several distinct style categories that fall within individual groups: Classic, Extreme ,Standard/Show and XL Show variations. Each one of these varieties maintain certain traits specific to their type yet retain that signature ‘bully’ look – broad thick head coupled with muscular body structure—so while they are distinctly different they largely all display similar physical characteristics found amongst all bull breeds.

The Classic variety is by far the most versatile breed type due its varied combination of clear coat colors such as white or brown with blacks brindles or blues; tight wrinkles on their face; wide nostrils; large ears which can be cropped (for show dogs) or left natural ;and a strongly muscled physique . The Extreme variety boasts larger muscles mass along with shorter stature combined with wider chest girths which give them an even more powerful visual representation at first glance . Finally you have two additional style varieties – Standard/Show & XL Show – reserved strictly for showstoppers participating in ABKC & UKC sanctioned events where aesthetic perfection is key for competition!

By having a well rounded understanding of what separates bullies belonging to each category it should be easier to tell them apart without much trouble when speaking directly with potential new owners or other enthusiasts of this remarkable breed!.
