Are you ready for tons of exercise, and are you ready to say no even if your loveable bully is giving you those tantalizing eyes. Do you have the resources to feed your dog. Part of your responsibility is maintain the dogs good health. And it is your responsibility to socialize your bully with other people and dogs. And if you are ready to became the pack leader. Then go out there and find your monster.
Research!
You need a clear vision on the type of bully you want to take home. That is why i suggest you review the breed standard first. Go to the ABKC website. That would give you an idea of what to check when purchasing a bully pup. An example that i learned that i check when looking at puppies are the major faults, since i am into dog shows. An example that you should check on the bully is the feet. There would be times where you will be offered with puppies with super easty westy feet. I feel sad for people who have tried to breed and do shortcuts with their bullies. And come up with unwanted physical conditions. Try to look up people who has been with the breed for awhile when you visit a kennel and check on their puppies for sale. Join bully communities online, such as forums dedicated to the American bullies. Warning! the bully pups you see online will tempt you in getting one right away. Again keep in mind the picture of the bully you want to own. Don't be fooled by those who say bully pups rush sale. For one thing the puppies might have some problems with their health. The same thing goes with adults being sold in a rush. Better ask the seller the reason why they are letting go of their adult bully. Some reasons might be the male stud can't produce puppies. Another thing that you need to research on is the cost of shipping if you are buying from abroad. Pictures can be deceiving sometimes. It would be better if you have friends that could check the puppy or bully in your behalf.
Reputable Breeder
There are a lot of American bully breeders out there. Be careful in choosing which one to buy from. I can not emphasize on this much, but there have been instances where buyers have already paid the whole amount and end up with nothing. And the buyer gets an update from the breeder telling them the pup died. And you will be offered to wait for the next breeding or transfer it to another breeding they have and end up with lesser quality. That makes me sick thinking there are a lot of puppy milling out there. Just cant stop thinking about those pups that would endup in the hands of dog-fighters. Another thing that you need to check when purchasing a bully pup with your hard earned money is the paper works. This should ensure you that you are getting the real deal. And when i say paper works the puppies got their health records updated by a veterinarian. And they are registered to a registry like UKC, ABKC or any local registry for the American Bully. That way you are guaranteed of the lineage of your bully pup. And when its time for you to breed your dog, you have in your hands a reference that would be a great tool to finding the right match for your bully. And produce the bully you would want to share with others. In short do some background check with the breeder you are dealing with.
Now these dogs are not cheap. Piece of advice to you who wants to own one. Save up some money and buy the bully of your dreams. Don't try to haggle on the price. And end up not taking care of your dog, since you got it at a low price. It is not easy to maintain and breed dogs. Got to have some respect for those who has sacrificed a lot to promote the American Bully breed. And to those who are into this game a piece of advice be honest in all your dealings. If you don't it might bite back on yah!
Keeping it bully!!!
