Hey,

Happy Thanksgivings.

Now, I've had my APBT for well over a year now, getting her from a family that couldn't keep her due to the neighborhood being rather ignorant of the breed and frankly, calling Animal Control on her relentlessly.

She came with her UKC papers, so I can tell she was of pure lineage. Honestly, never cared much about her bloodline until a friend asked me about. Figured I would find out and join a community of Bully enthusiasts.

I'm not sure if it's okay, but I'll post the Sire and Dam's names, as well as UKC numbers to see if anybody could help me. Spoilers, the Dam's name is hilarious.

Sire: (Purple Ribbon) Gotti Baca
Sire UKC No: A260, 978

Dam: (Purple Ribbon) Felony East Bay Bullyz
Dam UKC No: A380, 032

Now, what's a thread without pictures. Here are awful pictures of my baby, Dragon Lady.

From when I first got her.







Less than a month ago.





As you could probably tell, she is a really goofy dog.

Thanks,

bunchie.

You can't even begin to fathom how silly of a dog she is, especially with her floppy ears. If there is a trait that breeders should look for, it's floppy ears; it could change the game completely.

Most Am. Bully breeders crop the pups ears,but floppy ears are so CUTE!

Sigh, the breeder shouldn't have put "APBT" for breed on this UKC form. Oh, I knew about the PR thing.

Welp, doesn't really change anything, she's still an awesome pup. At least now I know her dad is a beast. Thanks for your help.

circlemkennels

most ukc bullies are registered as apbts.. its very common pretty girl though!!

Really? I don't think I'll register mine if that's the case, don't want any more false information out there.

I am really glad this website exist. I've found her long lost brother, doesn't look as good as my baby, but he's still pretty rad.

You've been a great help, circlemkennels, thanks.

Kenaii

She's a Bully and a fine looking one at that.

You can register and compete with your dog with the American Bully Kennel Club! Even if you don't want to compete I think it's cool to know your dogs is registered just in case. Why not its $20! lol Registration // The American Bully Registry

What exactly does "bully" mean? American staffy?

I've been dealing with what I thought were pitbulls for a while and I knew there were a lot of different breeds that can be called the generalized term "pitbull" but I'm not sure I'm aware of the differences. I'd like to be more educated breed wise. I have a lot of info, I'm by no means new to the breeds, but until I joined this forum I've never heard all the different terms. I do more of rescuing and things like that. People always just call them pitbulls. Please forgive my ignorance. I don't want to start an argument. Just want to be informed :-)

Bully is referring to a fairly newly created breed called the American Bully. They're generally shorter, stouter looking dogs, much more calm and reserved, often with the look of an Old English Bulldog. We have a section called Bullies 101 where you can read up about them and learn more, if interested.

To the OP, based on your pup's bloodlines, it would seem that your pup is American Bully and I'm glad that you don't want to go forward with registering her as a UKC APBT. However, that's where many of the foundation dogs in the American Bully come from. If she fits the standard, you can show her in the UKC, and in the ABKC (American Bully Kennel Club), if you so desire. Not sure what your plans are for her, other than being your companion, but I just wanted to let you know you have that option. That's wonderful that you don't want to continue the misinformation that surrounds these dogs, so to you.

Yes, I've read a lot of the threads in Bullies 101, but never really got a clear sense of what "Bully" actually is. I have three what I thought to be pitbulls but now I'm not sure what the hell they are I'm so confused now. They're not papered so I guess they're just mutts.
