Stay updated with news, tips, and stories from Bullies of Texas. Whether you’re a breeder, owner, or enthusiast, our blog is packed with valuable information about XL Bullies and the lifestyle around them.
The American Bully is generally known for its calm and gentle demeanor, often described as being more laid-back than the Pitbull. Friendly, affectionate, and great with children and families, the American Bully still maintains an active and playful nature but tends to have a more mellow temperament compared to the more energetic Pitbull. These dogs are social by nature, known to be good with other pets when properly socialized, and they typically have a very loving personality. The American Bully should give the impression of great strength for its size, with a muscular body, blocky head, heavy bone structure, and a bulky overall build. It is a companion breed that exhibits confidence, a zest for life, and a strong desire to please and bond with its family, making it an excellent family companion. Despite its fierce and powerful appearance, the American Bully has a gentle nature. They are great with kids and extremely friendly with strangers, other dogs, and other animals. Human or dog aggression, extreme shyness, or viciousness is very uncharacteristic of the breed and is highly undesirable.
Bringing home your American XL Bully puppy is an exciting and important time. The first 30 days set the foundation for your puppy’s health, behavior, and adjustment to their new home. During this period, focus on creating a safe and comfortable space where your pup can explore and feel secure. Establish a consistent routine for feeding, potty breaks, and sleep to help your puppy settle in. Early socialization is key, so introduce your pup gradually to new people, sounds, and gentle experiences while keeping things positive and stress-free. Basic training can start right away, focusing on simple commands and rewarding good behavior with praise or treats. Don’t forget regular vet visits to keep up with vaccinations and health checks. Patience, love, and consistency during these first weeks will help your XL Bully grow into a confident and well-adjusted companion.
Feeding your XL Bully the right diet is essential for their growth, health, and overall well-being. A balanced diet rich in high-quality proteins, healthy fats, and essential vitamins helps build their muscular frame and supports strong bones and joints. Puppies need specially formulated food to meet their unique nutritional needs, while adult XL Bullies thrive on a diet that maintains their muscle mass and energy levels. Always choose reputable brands with natural ingredients and avoid fillers or artificial additives. Fresh water should be available at all times. Consulting with your breeder or veterinarian can help tailor the best feeding plan for your dog’s specific age, size, and activity level. Starting with the right nutrition today sets your XL Bully up for a long, healthy, and active life.
