About the bully pitbull
The term bully pitbull is used to refer to the American bully and also a cross breed of the American bull dog and the American pitbull terrier by some hybrid clubs. But the question really is: what exactly is a bully? The term bully and/or bully breed are used to categorize a group of breeds that are descendants of the old English bull dog. And there is a long list of dog breeds that fall into this category.
In the same vein the pitbull is not a specific dog breed but a name that is use to refer to several breeds that are the outcome of cross breeding different types of bulldogs with different types of terriers. So dog breeds that are classified as pitbulls are also bully breeds but bully breeds are not necessarily pitbulls.
The bully pitbull which essentially refers to the American bully has been at the center of controversy since the early 1990s when this new breed surfaced in the dog world. The controversy around this breed is linked to its association with the American pitbull terrier (APBT) which has also resulted in the American bully being registered in some breed specific registries as an American pitbull terrier.
This has not only angered the fanciers of the American pitbull terrier but has also created confusion among the general public who now think that the American pitbull terrier and the American bully are the same breed when in actual fact they are not.
