The American Bully Breed Not Recognized by AKC

The American Bully dog is not recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC) because it is considered a separate breed from the American Staffordshire Terrier and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, which are the only two bully breeds that the AKC accepts. The American Bully was developed in the 1990s by crossing these breeds with other bulldogs and mastiffs to create a more muscular and compact dog. The AKC does not have a breed standard for the American Bully, and therefore does not register or judge this breed. However, the American Bully is recognized by other organizations, such as the American Bully Kennel Club, the European Bully Kennel Club, and the United Kennel Club. The American Bully is a friendly, loyal, and confident dog that can make a great family companion.
