First Impressions
Our American Bully Skyla (We named her that due of her big bold blue sky eyes) should give the impression of great strength for its size. It is a compact and medium in size dog with a muscular body and blocky head. The American Bully should have the appearance of heavy bone structure with a bulky build and look. Ours has more of a round face since it comes from the Miagi bloodline. Lovely shiny gray coat.
CHARACTERISTICS
These Bullies are a companion breed exhibiting confidence, a keen interest for life, along with an exuberant willingness to please and bond with their family, thus making the American Bully an excellent family companion. Despite the American Bully’s fierce and powerful appearance their demeanor is gentle and playful. They are great with kids and protective around our kids for sure, and extremely friendly with strangers, other dogs, and other animals. Human or dog aggression, extreme shyness, or viciousness is very uncharacteristic of the American Bully and is highly undesirable.
