A breed with a fun and quirky personality, a zest for life and an exuberant will to please their family. The breed is known for having an affinity toward children (they love kids) and a surprising ability to pick up on the emotions of their owners. Despite the American Bully’s fierce and powerful appearance their demeanor is gentle, making the American Bully an excellent family companion. The result: a calm, confident breed of dog with a statuesque build and the muscle of a bodybuilder.

Traits of dog and human aggression have been bred out, as they have no future purpose for this trait (outside of hunting & sport). These Include loyalty, stability with humans and children, along with many of their physical attributes.
