XL
The honest version
XXL American Bully Puppies
XXL isn’t a recognized class. Here’s what you’re actually being offered, and what it should cost.
XXL isn’t a recognized American Bully class. The registries recognise Pocket, Standard, Classic and XL. XXL is what a kennel calls an XL at the top of the size range. That doesn’t make the dog worse, but it does mean nobody can show you a standard for it, and it shouldn’t carry a premium.
Available now
Every XXL below is here in Sedona, raised in the house, and $700.

So what’s an XXL American Bully?
An XL at the larger end, usually. Searches for XXL American Bully for sale, American Bully XXL for sale and XXL American Bully puppies for sale almost always describe a dog that would be judged as XL. Some kennels use XXL as shorthand for their heaviest line, which is fair enough as description. Charging more for the letter isn’t.
My puppies are $700 whatever their eventual size. I’m not going to sell you a letter.
What to ask instead of asking for XXL
Height at the withers is the only figure that predicts anything about a puppy, and weight is the one that flatters a dog. Mine are measured at the withers and I will give you both parents’ numbers.
Ask what the puppy is being fed, too. A dog can be made to look enormous at four months by overfeeding it, and the joints pay for that later.
The size that should worry you
Chasing size past the XL standard tends to bring structural problems: heavier front ends, wider chests, shorter muzzles and more weight on the same joints. It’s the same pressure that produces the problems on the micro end, running in the opposite direction.
A dog built to the standard is the dog that stays sound. What actually goes wrong in this breed.
What I have
XL and standard puppies from the same program, all $700. If you want the biggest dog I have, say so and I’ll tell you honestly which puppy that’s likely to be, and how confident he is about it. The XL page.
People search for this dog as XL bully as often as American Bully, and that page covers the same puppies. Not sure which class suits you? Every American Bully puppy I have for sale is here, and what each one costs at each age is set out on the puppy price page.
Health, and the vet you can ring
Every puppy is examined by Bell Rock Veterinary Clinic in Sedona before it goes home, and the dates from that visit are on the health record you take with you.
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.
