A little info on AmBullies, since many people often confuse them with APBT's

An American Bully is not an American Pit bull Terrier. They were created by Dave Wilson and are associated with bloodlines like Razors Edge, Gotti, and Greyline.
Most of the Ambullies you see are blue, black and fawn in color, but can come in any of the colors that the APBT comes in.
They are much bigger then an American Pit Bull Terrier. They were bred for larger size and looks.
Ambullies were also bred to be the ultimate companion dog. They have great well mannered temperaments.
Ambullies have large heads and are thicker and lower to the ground then the APBT.
They do have American Pit Bull in them but also have been bred with other breeds to create the large massive appearance they have.
No one knows for sure but its a common belief they were mixed with Mastiffs and/or English Bulldogs. This is were the controversy comes in.
The American Bully does have its own registry which is called the American Bully Kennel Club.
The standards for these dogs are very loose. There is classic bullies, XL Ambullies, pocket sized Ambullies and and extreme bullies which is a incredibly massive dog.
It appears that there is many breeders that say they sell American Pit Bull Terriers that are actually the Ambully.
The looks on the classic or well bred ones are impressive as they are beautiful dogs, but to many breeders just breed for size and nothing else.

I'm gonna guess mine is a mutt of both.

[VFOVkZBj]

Sounds like mine is a bit of a mix of both. He might be more towards an AmBully though because he is more towards the ground and has quite a massive head at barely going on 5 months.

They were bred with other breeds, but no one know FOR SURE if it was with Mastiffs and EB's.

Why no one knows for sure, is because of paper hanging..
How can you get the AmBully I posted on your thread, by just an APBTxAmStaff?
Sometimes, a dog will throw one pup out of the litter bigger than the sire and dam, but not that huge of a difference.

Neither.. I have Mutts.. although I *think* Piper was supposed to be an Am. Bully 'type' and something went wrong
Her parents were HUGE (both had to have been 65+ lbs. easy), but for some reason, she's short, yet weighs almost 40lbs. and is very compact and muscular. I have no idea what she is or what happened LOL.

I have:
2 APBT's
and
1 AMBULLDOGxBOXER mix

The first two pics are two nice long legged dogs, why anyone wanted the low riders I don't want to know. If I wanted a dog that was low to the ground I'd get a Shih-Tzu.

Mine is a mutt, I wouldn't own a dog that looked like either of the last 2 pics, either of the first two pics would be fine.

But I don't care about show ring conformance so I'll rate a dog higher for other things and consider it a keeper when many people wouldn't take it simply because of how the ears lay or the color of the eyes or markings.

In my opinion an unhealthy purebred that looks good is inferior to an ugly mutt that is in good health.

I have an APBT and an AmBully!

[swissloveone]

Not really sure what Rhys is. he was given to me as an APBT but I've had a lot of people say he looks AmStaff. He has no papers so I guess I'll never really know, lol.

[spamkillerj]

I have an Am Bully, her parents are registered APBTS however once I found out they were Razors Edge, I knew she was an Am Bully. However she's a nicely formed one, as are both her parents. Not the ones that make me hurt just looking at them with their mispropotioned bodies and heads.

[BPitt]

I have a rescue dog, he was listed as an Am. Staff... but I say this all the time, I think he is a mutt, he is to tall (25 inches to the withers) and he is not that wide, I think he might have either chocolate lab, visila(SP) or great dane in him

but then I have my true mutt, a GSD mixed with either Am. Staff (as they said) or American Bully, I did not really get to look at the dad so could not truly tell hehe

[ChebuRAtoR]

i think buddy has some amstaff and apbt in him. all though, personally i think of him more of a apbt

but if i don't put him on a diet he's gonna be lookin like a bulldog soon lol

[cigsstorenick]

I have a mutt. I think Ace may ethier be an Ambully mix, or a Lab mix. Im not sure...

It might be easier to tell once the hypothyroid meds make him loose more weight..

[AnIInWon]

I couldnt tell you either way what ours are.. We thought for 3 years tinkerbell was a apbt, but then I joined here and realized, she just might have been an ambully. but who knows.. rajah was the only one we knew was an apbt - both parents were registered! the rest are ours and thats all I need to know.. if anyone asks me, I just tell them to take their guess!

Good point! I read that they started out as amstaff x APBT, but then they later added different breeds into the lines. Not just the mastiff, but various mastiff breeds like cane corso. You can tell some of them have bulldog in them as well. I think a lot of them are mixed up and it depends on what lines and where you got the dog from. The huge ones obviously have some type of mastiff while the low riders got to have bulldog. I have heard several different breeds used to create ambullies. A lot of people really do think they have a pure bred "pit bull" when really its an ambully. I just wish people would recognize them as their own breed more. I would never own one of those low rider things either. Not my taste or style at all.
