I'm a game bred apbt guy. Always have been. I've watched the change in Dave's dogs from the days of the big blue dogs to the am bullies today. dude loves the breed. made it his passion. gotta respect that
I have never had a dog,not even a Pit Bull, LOVE ME, like this breed! This dog will shadow you like no other, and kiss you constantly. Switches right to gentle, for kids or elderly. Amazing.
For us the 1 thing to grab and hang on to from this is: "...this is really the key...the only way to preserve what we have and continue what we have, is to only breed this breed to itself, there's enough in this breed in the makeup for it to continue on..." -Dave Wilson (11:55)
Bulldog wasn't allegedly in the mix to create the American bully, bulldogs are the escencial part of the American bully, you don't need to be rocket science to see that
Just wanted to add one more thing. There are a lot of great breeders that do breed awesome Bullies. The standard is set. it's up to true breeders to improve it. Dave created a great breed. He liked both traits of old school pits and Am staffs. combined them and improved the best of both. That is what needs to be done.
I like pockets and standards, classics are okay but just like athletic slightly less muscled standards. Pockets are little beasts but some look too short i think
8:45 There is clearly Bulldog blood in many of these dogs simply based on the fact that many are walking around with English Bulldog heads and kinked or screw tails in their phenotype, among other English Bulldog traits.
I really liked these videos but I would have liked to know more about the temperament being bred into the dogs in addition to their form - which is really beautiful in my eyes! You have vision! thanks!
Bullybadass t.v.,great video sir.My family and I enjoy your videos and the passion you have for all dogs.Were proud to own a female,"Goad a Doggz",who has some of the original bloods in her,Clover hills Watuka spirit,Throwing knuckles,low-jack Remy martin,clover hills Indian paint brush,saddeys Paddington & up all night aka Viagra,Purple Rose of Cairo and many more of the older razors edge bloods ,,so watching and listening to a video like this makes me appreciate how far the breed has come without forgetting the origins.Thank you and may you continue to put out QUALITY videos as you have been doing for some time.,Frank in S.A.Tx
Dave is a smart guy. He doesn't share enough information with the community in regards to breeding, ethics, and following a standard through the ABKC website.
good vid finally dave speaks out what a american bully is but i would like to hear what a ABKC judge perspective on the breed is but overall nice vid keep it up
I think when the breed started the bulldog genetics was always there but as the time went by and the breeding kept going the bulldog traits started to become a lil stronger it makes sense because if the male and female has the tiny strip of bulldog in them the puppies will come with more and more it is amazing the way he speaks of the breed now days a lot of breeders just focused on making money and not about showing people that bullies are not just the best looking breed but the best in companion and athleticism
At least many have stopped calling them APBTs. Now you got some beautiful UKC pits that still fit within the breed standards and are bullies but to classify some of them as the APBT is a shame. Glad most of the "out of pit breed standard" dog owners are moving away from that. They acknowledge what they have. Either way half the people if not more aren't doing serious health testing and this is basically a high end backyard breeder game for many with no regard for health. They ruin it for the serious folks who have put their lives into this.
The old Gotti, Razors Edge were nice dogs. These exotics are horrible. Poor things are train wrecks waiting to happen. I'll stick w my ADBA registered apbts.
I agree 100%! They keep adding these exaggerations that are actually negative genes and putting more and more flaws in them to what amounts to very unhealthy dogs that couldn't do a job to save their lives....shit the mini exotics can't even barely walk and need to be delivered by c-section.
+BullyBadAssTv I feel like the task of breed separation should be done better. The term " pit bull" is just like the term "hound", because it pertains to more than one breed of dog. I hate how he said that there are different "styles of pit bull " when the fact of the matter is that there are breeds that fall into the generalization "pit bull". Now I like American Bullies when they are correct and functional but I just have to ask what will be done with the xl classes. I understand that the breed is in its infancy but in order to be respected by the dog community we must have consistency😩
+John Batts In this video when he uses the term 'pit bull" he specifically means American Pit Bull Terrier. Meaning that there are many styles of American Pit Bull Terrier.
+BullyBadAssTV then why did he not apbt, I agree there are different types within the breed tho like the mayday style apbt and the leaner Eli style apbt. I'm not trying to attack this man please don't take it as so but I just wanna make sure that both of Our breeds are kept and separated the correct way🤗
+John Batts He uses the language that he is accustom to using. Unlike a lot of people, I personally don't get hung up on terms. I talk with a lot of people, and based on their age, location, and history, and many other factors they'll use different terms. I knew what he meant so I didn't feel the need to have him clarify. And quite honestly if you listen to his context and specifically the point he was making its real easy to understand what breed he's talking about.
+BullyBadAssTV i understood i figured it would be hard for a "newbie" to understand and I was just thinking that clarification would make things a little easier to understand
John Batts I've been doing this for 7 years I'm not primarily producing videos for Newbies anymore. I'm trying to create content that people moderately to heavily involved in dog culture will find interesting.
No one really knows the mix. Because some people breeders aren't honest. A test was done on a famous bloodline that had amstaff, pitbull, English bulldog, Boston terrier, and pug. I think these dogs are a great start away from the terrible pool of pit bull's that flooded the market. It takes time to change the temperament and characteristics. I'd actually love to own a small bully like this as a pet.
He tells lies out the side of his mouth he knows 100 percent that he and nearly every other breeder was putting bulldog in these dogs I would wager there is as much I'f not more bulldog in them dogs than any other breed
My female we suspected of having some bulldog in her because the underbite with a nice structure and muscular. We chose a nice American bully to match her with and came out with very nice puppies. Only flaw in the small kinked tails.
its setting an ideal of Dog as a standard vision and breeding multiple breeds together in long term generational breeding program. Snuff what is unwanted and continue breeding the next generation with what you want. if you want short cuts, study Genetics in a petridish. test tube dogs. its what has been done for centuries by humans to get the dogs we have. just hope that there are enough breeders that love their animals and stay true with their principles. Puppy Mills or ruthless breeding programs who do it for money is what hurts. I see responsible guy pointing out the truth. this is a new breed that a guide line is being used and it takes generations sometimes to get a responsible bred animal.
I'm not really a fan of most American Bullies, just not my personal taste, but I am pleased to hear that they are developing their own breed and not being touted as "pitbulls".
ahh ok interesting Im new to the whole american bully scene and i know american bulldog ( is a different dog ). In my opinion this breed American bully (the perfect way ) from the start is No 1 english bulldog and pitbull ( you want a healthy dogs to not pass on genetic defects ) No 2 you get a hybrid type dog the face of a pit and a stocky body build like a EB and i think you should just breed it like that ? am i right?? But then again theres other mix to it, like a Staffordshire Bull , Amstaf,bull terrier , the gene pool so tight and mix its recognize as a breed now
wow, amazing how ten years ago his breed of dog looks nothing like that exotic bulldog he calls DEMON BOY. Dave, you just letting everything go? You talk standards, function, stricter judging. Your american bully is no longer an american bully. ITS A BULL DOG. amazing how a breed can literally change breeds in less than ten years.
Hola family sent a greeting from Venezuela would like to know and see how do to bring a dog AMERICAN BULLY Venezuela to know how much would cost to import into my country
Can't be reputable if you still register dogs from breeders such as mega built bullies.. those guys are bringing St. Bernards into the bully genes and really makes it frustrating for everyone else
Your totally missing the point this breeds new other dogs get mixed in to every breed to make any breed EVER the problem is the standard not being upheld by the biggest registry For the bully the standards are a little more clear now in 2020 it doesn’t matter what fucking dogs went into making pocket classic standard or xl dogs all that fucking matters is that they now meet the standard
The fact that u think it’s St bernards just goes to show how little of an understanding you have of how XLs were made idk why I bothered to try n educate u
When ever I hear words "protect and preserve" my ears prick up, hot red alert. These two words are the most abused words in dog breeding today. If you've heard all this before never mind its worth hearing again. Im not in your breed, though I have worked very hard on another breed over the years in a similar situation also a boel or bully breed in an entirely different country. So you could confidently say Im completely unbiased (except perhaps for ear considerations....) but if you don't want your breed to end up a pedigree unsustainable calamity like so many other pedigree dogs are this is your best route of action. Your Stud Book should never become a closed registry or ever aim to be one, single registrations should always be possible, indefinitely so. A dog should only be registered into the studbook based on an appraisal, not on a pedigree or on DNA testing. Only then are you protecting and preserving your breed for ever, maintaining the breeds sustainability. Its not a problem if other breeds are introduced when and where ever. If you are basing registration on appraisal only the dog before you is the full story, this way you are maintaining control over phenotype. This doesn't mean that dogs puppies will ever be registered but it doesn't mean any wont be either, this way you are maintaining genetic diversity. This is the only sustainable way to protect and preserve your breed. I understand exactly where you are coming from. In many ways you have an advantage over many other established breeds at this critical cross roads. What you do next will decide one of two things. The breed becoming a pedigree mutt, inbred and linebred into extinction with a small ever vanishing gene pool or being preserved forever as a highly distinguishable, sustainable type and American landrace. For this to work breed standards should be kept to an absolute minimum to allow for small variations that bring huge genetic benefits. Looking for absolute standardisation is the road to disaster because fixing those traits will reduce your gene pool substantially. Tail set for example, down, up does it really make any difference to the breed, does it? As long as its the right shape .....Nor does colour unless its a lethal mutation or ear set, size as long as the dog is of excellent substance. Issues that affect health like cork screw tails, flat faces, excessive wrinkle, back too short too long, achondroplasia any extremes affecting health primarily should be excluded at appraisals , again it doesn't mean any of their their puppies will necessarily be excluded at a later date. These dogs may still be noted, given pedigrees but not registered in the stud book. I think it's a very healthy thing you have size differences already , that already extends your gene pool substantially. These sizes should never become separate breeds in themselves where cross breeding is restricted in any way because then you are again restricting your gene pool.The bigger the gene pool the better, the healthier for the breed. Outcrossing should never be a dirty word, in fact it should be the norm. Then you are protecting your breed. Dog appraisals should also be the norm not dog shows. You are appraising each dog on its own merit for registration not judging one against the other. Best dog, best bitch etc on the day is just an incentive, a direction and merit titles awarded. How these dogs affect their litters will be again be appraised each pup on its merits. Puppies produced dont automatically get registration even though they hold a pedigree, two separate issues. Dog appraisals should include character tests and endurance tests, fit for purpose as a healthy robust family pet all weather conditions. Pedigrees well maintained, free international data base kept so inbreeding never becomes a problem, not to facilitate linbreeding but as a tool a record to avoid impoverishing the gene pool amongst other things. Pedigrees get a new meaning, they aren't a seal of excellence, or guarantee to registration into the stud book, only registration into the stud book is the seal of excellence and this must only be by way of that individuals satisfactory appraisal. Appraisal scores should be used dogs only being eligible scoring above a certain score. Even a dog without a pedigree or just half a pedigree can be appraised and enter the register....etc etc Linbreeding and inbreeding and excluding dogs are not the way to fix phenotype sustainably, appraisals are and open stud books are, selection itself is, this is the only sustainable way to protect a breed long term. Thanks for you for the time and I wish you the best of luck with the American Bully. If you see what has happened to the English or even Old English bulldog (any number of breeds) you will of course know Im right already. To John Batts's point, in order to have unlimited timeless respect by the dog community which is forever becoming more and more discerning, educated and concerned for the welfare and sustainability of dog breeds you must embrace critical diversity within broad but well enough defined parameters of your expectations for the breed. Allowing each individual to have unique character but still be absolutely recognisably as a bully is essential. To strive for consistency for consistency sake alone is a bogey trap to the ultimate demise of any breed.
All AMSTAFFS are pitbull. Not all pitbulls are AMSTAFF. American Staffordshire Terrier. In Augusta Ga. there are beautiful bully terriers bred. They are strong and easily trainable and healthy and are not wrinkled in the face.
Based on this video, I am wondering if any of these "Merle" bullies are going to be put in the stud book... If ABKC has / is tweaking the standards, is one of tweaks allowing the Merle gene to be prevalent in the breed. I am seeing more and more acceptance of the Merle. I personally do not agree with it, but now Merle Frenchies are allowed even though it was never part of the breed. Is this going to happen with the Bully as well? There are some startup registries that are allowing it, What is ABKC's stance on this?
you should be trying to incorporate things that will pull in new people as well as it being informative for knowledgeable people i like to know about all kinds of dogs but its American Pittbull for me but i still like to be knowledgeable i love dogs
I have a first gen from when the American Bully became an official breed. Lol, he’s not looking much anything like the newer generations. He’s as bully as it gets though. He looks more like a mini ‘Petie’ style pit bull. However, he’s so not pit bull in the least.
