ABD's are an awesome breed... I am more into the working lines than the showier ones though.
Yep, he was actually posted on a thread here, someone was either talking about buying him or some pups off him... He's a handsome fellow... I can really appreciate a bully with good conformation. I don't like sloppy or overdone bullies.MIDWESTFISHBULLIES;4045920; said:

While we're on it, this is what I'd consider a nice kennel for ABDs, they are into several breeds, but regardless have great hog dogs who are proven workers.

Whew I was terrified to read this thread at first because I was afraid it would turn into a bully bashing thread
You are exactly right with you first post. So many dogs out there are mislabeled as Pitt bulls by the media that it has created this inaccurate view of the breed. The media is the worst. Any dog attack now a days is labeled as a pit bull attack just to grab more attention.
I've worked with dogs for years and I've seen many breeds. Now we have had some trouble with bully breeds with other dogs(not always) but never any problems with the breed towards people. I think they are athletic, intelligent and hard working dogs. They are not the breed for me but I believe they can make loving family pets.
I think it's nice that your provided pictures to outline the differences in these breeds so hopefully people can better understand them. I hate all this breed banning going on nowadays. Some apartments in my area won't let you rent if you have anything from a bulldog to a rottweiler. It's ridiculous.

But hear this, i have to explain to people my dog is no pitbull time and time again.
And as you can see it looks nothing like the pits, allthough it is Bull family!
So, English Bull terriers are also often mislabelled.
Any crossbreed of American-, Staffordshire- or English bull terrier without official papers is considered Pitbull in Holland, and is prohibited.

I own a pit. Not sure what catagory he falls into since we have no papers and he was given to us by a friend but he is the sweetest dog. I've actually used the mislabeling your complaing about to our advantage before. I've told landlords in the past he as a boxer mix so we could live there and sometimes with people who are really scared I'll tell them he's something else until they are comfortable and then I'll tell them I lied...once they know him they can't help but love him. It's sad it has to be done this way but I've convered a couple people like this. I'm constantly having to fight for him, most people won't even give him a chance just because of his name.
I've kept American Pitbull terriers in the past and will again in the future but I've never heard of the American Bully untill reading about it here.bettagurl;4045752; said:
The one on the right is so short and stout it reminds me of a French Bulldog.MIDWESTFISHBULLIES;4045920; said:

OP: Thanks for the good read. I was unaware of the american bully. But I do have to ask...isn't there such thing as the blue nose and red nose pits? I know you can't classify them by just their color but they are different sub-breed (or whatever you want to call it)
