American Bully Breeders - Indepth idea and advice

Hey there guys,

I've been looking for a suitable bull-breed that isn't too big and still looks like a Staffordshire without being banned by the stupidity that is BSL in the UK. I found one, the American Bully. Now, before your mind explodes with horror (( XD )), i mean the Classic Build, not the hippo (( XD )). BUT. Does anyone know any good breeders of the Classic Build, please don't say Blue Ink Bullies, because I do believe they're either no-longer running, or just not on the web any more (still waiting for a reply from them via e-mail).
But yes, if anyone knows any kennels that breed the Classic Build, not the hippo, I would be very pleased if y'all could let me know =D

I'm not planning on getting one for a good few years, but I would just like to see what is available =D

they will fall into type into the uk so they been banned

american are just crossbeed pits with american bulldog or for the smaller one english buldogs

Oh flip, I totally forgot about that! Pit crosses aren't allowed either so, yeah, Steve, you're right. I hope y'all don't mind whilst I sit here and curse the BSL?

you can always look for staffy x bulldog or american bulldog but you may still could end up bing an type.

Thank you, Steve. I will probably look for an American Bulldog crossbreed, since I'm looking to take on a guarding breed :3

you dont need an guard dog just goto the gym or just get fit! what is the dog going to do? if someone want to get to you they will dont matter what dog you have.

if your scared of something i would goin out and buy yourself and gun

Can't, not old enough yet. And I work out already, so technically, I don't need a guarding breed but my choice of dog usually falls into that category anyway. We need ground patrol dogs for the horses though, so we get cross-bred animals for that :3 But thank you anyway.

Take care - an American Bulldog cross will still look like a pit 'type'.

ground patrol dog i would get an Rottweiler, german shepherd, Dutch Shepherd, Belgian Shepherd Dog (Malinois)

One of these would be good....Chodskey Pes (Czeck Shepherd). They are similar to a GSD, but are bred to guard as well as herd.........

they look like an pretty useful dogs

I know a lady who has the only two in this country, and they are seriously useful dogs! They have all the trainability of the border collie or GSD, plus they have that extra guarding instinct.

She's hoping to import a couple more next year, and maybe breed a litter. They're not recognised by the Kennel Club yet, but maybe one day.

Try olde English bulldog. Cross of American and English bulldogs that are more capable. Great guarding (can sometimes be over the top). I've had two. About twice the size of a typical Staffy and i've seen them compete in protection, weight pull etc. My last boy is in the memorial section if you want to see what they are like. Doubt they would be classed as type.

no need to get a cross if you want a big staffy type dog get an american bulldog great with humans and can be trained very well for protection

What kind of bull dog is Endo, the one I am baby sitting? He is quite tall with skinny hips and a huge chest. Not the same as the 'Churchill' type.

The Churchill type really isn't all that typical nowadays. A true bulldog, although it still has a squashed in face, is very broad at the front with a slim waist & muscular thighs. They are also much higher over the loins than the withers.

Thanks Caryll

did they change the standard of bulldog the year year?

Thanks guys :3
This has helped a lot

You should get an irish wolfhound. Looks like a werewolf. Rottweilers I can vouch for personally as great protection dogs but they need a strong and firm owner.

American bulldogs are rather awesome

Yes they are, i'd love one.

Irish Wolfhounds are so darling! Rottweiler and Dutch Shepards are my dogs of choice, I've owned Rotties most of my life, so I have this feeling I'll be getting another one when I move out.
When I meant American Bully, I meant American Bully, not American Bulldog >D

I don't like American Bullys myself.

these 2 look fine the other just look dodgy

The classic is my favourite, tbh but they are SO hard to find. Everyone wants the XL and Extreme these days!

there no american bully the the uk

Nope, there aren't.
A challege for you you, Steve.
Try and find an active Classic American Bully kennel =P I failed at it

I love american bullies. To be honest though if you got a bulldog crossed with a staff, and they're not massively hard to find, the offspring would look very similar to what you're looking for. I'll lend you Romeo, he's ridiculously bully looking. He's been mistaken for a bulldog several times.

Ah! I was wondering about that type of cross. I've seen American Bulldogs crossed with Staffs and I like what pops out! If I had to go for a big bully type, it would be that, to be honest!

I no the difference but american bulldogs IMO are alot better!

I really love American Bulldogs. If I didn't have my heart set on another staff, it would definitely be an American Bulldog for me.
