What Makes a Bully Dog Special
A Bully Dog is strong, loyal, and protective. They’ve got mass and muscle, but they’ve also got a gentle heart. These traits make the American Bully dog a favorite among families, dog lovers, and first-time owners.
You want a pet that’s confident but kind. A dog that’s brave but cuddly. That’s the American Bully. Crump’s Bullies focuses on breeding dogs that tick those boxes and more.

American Bully Dog Basics
The American Bully developed from Pitbull and Bulldog stock and companion lines. The goal was a confident, people-focused house dog with a strong frame and a stable mind. You get a dog that looks powerful yet moves easy in a family setting. Good breeding builds a calm dog. Good handling keeps it that way.
Types and Sizes You’ll Hear About

Shorter, compact, and handy for small yards or apartments.

Bully Temperament: What You Can Expect
A well-bred Bully Dog is friendly, confident, and steady. They like people. They enjoy training. They want to be near you. With good socialization, they do great with kids and visitors. They bark to alert, then wait for you to lead.
We pair pups based on household needs. If you want a chill couch buddy, we have that. If you like hikes and yard play, we have that too. Tell us your pace and we will point you in the right direction.
Bringing Home a Bully Puppy: Simple, Real Advice
Pick the right pup. Think about size, energy, and your daily routine.
Set up your home. Crate, bed, bowls, leash, collar, ID tag, and two kinds of toys: chew and fetch.
Start training day one. Short sessions. Clear words. Lots of praise.
Socialize on purpose. New surfaces, new sounds, calm dogs, and friendly people after your vet clears public outings.
Feed quality food. Keep body weight steady. You should feel ribs but not see them.
Keep a routine. Dogs love structure. Meals, potty breaks, play, and rest on a schedule.
Crate Training and Housebreaking Your Bully Puppy
A crate helps your American Bully puppy relax. Make it comfy. Use it for naps and bedtime. Take the pup out after sleep, after meals, and after play. Praise right away for going outside. Keep potty breaks boring and clear. Save play for later. Consistency works better than any trick.
Early Training That Pays Off
Name, come, sit, down, place. Keep it short and positive.
Loose-leash walking. Let your Bully learn that a slack leash gets praise and forward motion.
Leave it and drop it. This prevents problems before they start.
Calm greetings. Ask for a sit before guests give attention.
A Bully Dog learns fast when sessions are short and fun. Set your pup up to win. Reward the good. Redirect the rest.
Exercise and Enrichment for Bully Puppies
American Bully dogs need daily movement, but the plan depends on age and size.
Puppies: Short play and sniff walks. Protect joints. No long stairs or forced runs.
Adults: Brisk walks, yard games, flirt pole in moderation, and mental work like simple scent games.
Heat: Bully breeds can overheat. Keep water close. Rest often in warm months.
Mental work tires a dog in a good way. Use food puzzles, basic fetch, and obedience as games. Ten minutes of nose work can calm a busy brain.
Feeding Your Bully Dog Puppy
Use a quality diet with steady protein and balanced fat. Adjust portions by look and feel, not just a chart. Keep growth slow and even, especially for XL American Bully puppies. Fast growth can stress joints. Split meals for pups. Fresh water should always be available.
Ask your vet about joint support once your dog reaches adult size. Do not load a young dog with heavy jumps or long runs. Build strength over time.
Grooming and Daily Care for American Bullies
A Bully Dog has a short coat. Brush weekly to control shedding. Wipe ears and clean wrinkles if your dog has them. Trim nails before they get long. Teeth matter. Use dental chews, wipes, or a quick brush a few times a week. Clean habits keep vet bills down.
Health and Vet Work
We follow common protocols: core vaccines, deworming, and regular checks. We also look at hips, elbows, eyes, and heart in breeding dogs. We aim to lower risks. You keep it going with vet visits and a smart routine at home.
Watch heat, weight, nails, and skin. Keep a simple log of food changes, stool, and any hotspots. Small notes help your vet spot patterns fast.
Colors and Registration
Bully dogs come in many colors: fawn, blue, black, chocolate, lilac, tri, merle, and more. We care first about structure and temperament, then color. Registration, pedigree, and parent info are shared up front. We talk straight about what each line brings.
Picking the Right Class for Your Life
Pocket Bully
Less height, still thick, easy to manage space-wise.
Standard Bully
A solid middle ground for most families.
XL Bully
Big presence, big heart, and strong bone; plan for room and steady training.
Tell us about your day. Tell us about your space. We will guide you. The best American Bully breeders do not just sell dogs. We match dogs to homes.
Travel, Pickup, and Safe Delivery of Your Bully Dog Puppy
Most families pick up at the kennel, but we can help arrange safe transport through a third party when needed. We focus on comfort, clean crates, and calm handoffs. We stay in touch during travel and follow up when your Bully puppy arrives.

Common Questions We Hear
Are American Bully dogs aggressive?
Good breeding produces stable dogs. We focus on calm nerves, people-friendly behavior, and clear heads. Training and handling matter too.
Do Bully puppies shed a lot?
They shed some. Weekly brushing and a balanced diet help. Most families find it easy to manage.
Are Bully Dogs good with kids?
Yes, with proper socialization and supervision. Teach kids to respect the dog’s space, and teach the dog calm greetings.
How much exercise does an XL American Bully need?
Daily walks and short play blocks. Protect joints when young. Heat breaks in summer. Keep it steady, not extreme.
Can a Bully Dog live in an apartment?
Yes, if you give daily walks, training time, and a good routine. A calm house beats a big yard with no structure.
What about training classes?
Group classes help with focus around distractions. They also help owners learn timing and handling.
What should I feed my Bully puppy?
A quality puppy diet that supports slow, even growth. Ask your vet about portion size and schedule.
How big will my American Bully get?
Pocket, Standard, and XL grow to different heights and weights. We give honest size notes on each pairing.

What paperwork do I get?
Health records, vaccines, deworming dates, and registration info. We also share pedigree and parent photos when available.
Socialization That Builds a Solid Dog
Think quality over quantity. Short, positive visits beat wild scenes. Let your Bully puppy hear traffic, see strollers, and meet calm dogs. Reward calm behavior, not jumping or pulling. If a moment feels too busy, step back and reset. Your job is to be the safe place.
Simple House Rules That Prevent Problems
People come through the door and ignore the dog for 60 seconds.
Ask for a sit before meals, leashing, or going out.
Toys belong to the dog. Shoes belong to people.
Kids do not climb on dogs. Dogs do not jump on kids.
Crate time is calm time, not punishment.
Consistency builds trust. Trust builds obedience.
How We Choose Our Breeding Bully Dogs
We look at structure, movement, and nerve strength. We also look at health history and family lines. A good American Bully breeder does not chase trends. We chase balance. We want a dog that lives easy in a home, not just a dog that looks big in a photo.
Puppies are raised clean and handled daily. We track temperaments from week to week. That is how we match homes right.
Life With an Adult Bully Dog
Adults need clear rules and daily contact. They do best when they feel like part of the family. Give them jobs: hold a place bed during dinner, carry a toy on walks, or check the yard with you each morning. Small jobs keep a Bully Dog happy.
Traveling With Your Bully
Plan water breaks. Keep a fitted crate or a seat belt harness. Do not leave your dog in a hot car. For long trips, map safe stops and stick to the plan. Many Bully owners travel for shows, family visits, or pickups; a little prep goes a long way.
Community and Support
We love getting updates from our families. First bath wins. First perfect sit. First snow zoomies. Send your photos. Ask your questions. We want to celebrate the small steps that lead to a great dog.
