People often confuse the American Pitbull Terrier with the American Bully. The American Bully is becoming very popular in the USA and most people lump the two together as one in the same when there are clear differences that even the average person could point out if they had a little bit of info on them.

The American Bully was started by crossing the American Pitbull Terrier with other dogs in the bully breed family and sometimes dogs outside the bully family. The American Bully is becoming its own breed, and is not the same breed as the American Pitbull Terrier (APBT).

One very clear difference is appearance. The American Bullys are more muscular, very broad with larger heads. The American Pitbulls are not as muscular and not as wide.

Pitbulls are medium sized dogs weighing about 30 to 70 pounds and stand about 18 to 22 inches at the shoulders. While American Bullies are more like 70 to 120 pounds. In both breeds actual weight and height are less important than the proportion from weight to height. Weights and heights vary in both breeds, but the goal of the American Bully to be muscular, broad with a big head remains a clear difference.

Here are some examples...
