The ideal American bully
According to united kennel club, a respected all breed registry that opened its doors to the American bully in July 15 2013:
“The American Bully breed developed as a natural extension of the American Pit Bull Terrier. The APBT has maintained a characteristic appearance and temperament for over 100 years. As with any long-standing breed, several types evolved from the parent breed, with one in particular taking on a specific build and structure that is so unique it was wise to recognize it as a different breed altogether. That being the American Bully breed.
The American Bully breed was subtly influenced by the infusion of several other breeds, which include the American Bulldog, English bulldog, and Olde English Bulldogge.”
It went further to state that:
“The goals and purposes of this breed standard include: to furnish guidelines for breeders who wish to maintain the quality of their breed and to improve it; to advance this breed to a state of similarity throughout the world; and to act as a guide for judges.
Breeders and judges have the responsibility to avoid any conditions or exaggerations that are detrimental to the health, welfare, essence and soundness of this breed, and must take the responsibility to see that these are not perpetuated.
Any departure from the following should be considered a fault, and the seriousness with which the fault should be regarded should be in exact proportion to its degree and its effect upon the health and welfare of the dog and on the dog’s ability to perform its traditional work.
Quality is never to be sacrificed in favor of size and mass. UKC is unwilling to condone the validity of using exaggerated specimens of this breed in a breeding program and, to preserve its health and vibrancy, cautions judges about awarding wins to these representatives.”
The American bully evolved through careful and selective breeding that involved lots of breeders perhaps hundreds of them (many of them were working alone) working towards breeding an enhanced version of the American pitbull terrier that would be the ultimate family dog. The fact that the American bully was not the creation of an individual or one breeding program must have contributed to the lack of concerted effort toward establishing the bully pitbull as a unique breed distinct from the APBT.
Also it is unclear if the American bully was meant to be a new breed or just simply to alter the temperament of the APBT. However all American bully pitbull breeders agree that the American bully was bred to be the ultimate family dog and according to the American bully kennel club (ABKC) dog aggression and gameness was bred out of the breed because the breed has no future and purpose for those trait. The American bully however retains the working ability of the pitbull such as therapy, property protection, agility, law enforcement and dog sport. Ancestral traits such as loyalty, willingness to please, stability with humans and other attributes were also kept intact.
