The middle of the breed
Standard and Classic American Bully Puppies
Standard and classic American Bully puppies, the build the standard describes. Every puppy is $700.
A standard American Bully male stands 17 to 20 inches at the withers, a female 16 to 19. Classic is the same height with a lighter frame and less bulk. Both are $700 here, the same as every other class.
Standard against classic
Same height, different build. A standard carries the heavier bone and wider chest most people picture when they picture the breed. A classic is lighter through the body and closer to the American Pit Bull Terrier and American Staffordshire Terrier the breed came from in the 1980s.
Neither is better. A classic is often the easier dog to live with day to day, and it tends to move more freely.
Why standard is the sensible starting point
If you haven’t owned the breed before, a standard gives you everything the breed is known for at a size a normal household can manage. An XL at seventy pounds plus is a lot of dog for a first-time owner, and the food and vet bills scale accordingly.
Temperament, which is the point of the breed
The standard asks for a confident, outgoing, people-oriented dog with a stable disposition. Aggression toward people is a disqualifying fault. That’s what the breed was created for and it’s what I select for above size or color.
Temperament in full, and how the breed differs from a Pitbull, which is the question everyone asks.

Health, and the vet you can ring
Every puppy is examined by Bell Rock Veterinary Clinic, 45 Bell Rock Plaza, Sedona, AZ 86351, before it goes home. Their number is (928) 284-2840 and you’re welcome to check.
First shots are DHPP, with a booster and canine influenza at ten weeks, and worming every two weeks from two weeks old. A written health record travels with the puppy. The full protocol.
I don’t screen or certify the parents, and I won’t claim to. What I do is a general veterinary check and daily observation from birth. A guarantee against every inherited condition isn’t a thing any kennel can honestly offer.
