Bullypit

The American Bulldog is a powerful, athletic dog that presents an impressive combination of strength and agility. Males typically stand between 22 and 28 inches at the shoulder and weigh between 70 and 120 pounds, while females are somewhat smaller, usually weighing between 60 and 100 pounds. The breed displays a body that is slightly longer than it is tall, with a muscular, well-boned frame that conveys both power and capability. Two distinct types exist within the breed: the Johnson type, also called the bully type, which features a bulkier body, heavier bone structure, larger head with more pronounced stop, shorter muzzle, and more noticeable undershot bite; and the Scott type, known as the standard type, which presents a more athletic and leaner appearance with less bone mass, a longer muzzle, and a more moderate stop. The American Bulldog's head is characteristically large and broad with a square muzzle and powerful jaws. Eyes are typically brown, though some individuals may display blue, gray, or hazel coloring. The ears fold forward naturally and hang close to the head. The breed wears a short, close-fitting coat that should measure one inch or less in length, presenting either a soft or slightly stiff texture. Acceptable coat colors include white with patches of red, black, brindle, or various shades of gray and brown. The breed standard requires at least ten percent white markings, with solid black, solid blue, merle, tricolor, and full black masks being disqualified from the show ring. The overall impression of the American Bulldog should be that of a capable working dog with the power and agility necessary to chase, catch, and control free-ranging livestock. Despite variations between the bully and standard types, all American Bulldogs should display well-balanced proportions, strong musculature, and confident carriage that reflects their heritage as versatile farm dogs and family protectors.

The American Pit Bull Terrier presents as a medium-sized dog of solid build and well-defined musculature that conveys an impression of strength without bulkiness. Males typically stand between 17 and 21 inches at the shoulder and weigh between 35 and 60 pounds, while females measure slightly smaller at 17 to 20 inches and 30 to 50 pounds. The body is slightly longer than tall, creating an athletic silhouette that reflects the breed's remarkable combination of power, agility, and stamina. Every aspect of the American Pit Bull Terrier's conformation speaks to its heritage as a versatile working dog capable of sustained physical effort. The head is distinctive, featuring a broad, flat skull with a wide, deep muzzle that houses powerful jaws. Cheeks are pronounced and muscular without appearing exaggerated. Eyes are round to almond-shaped, set low and wide apart, and may be any color except blue. The ears are set high and may be natural or cropped, with natural ears being either rose or half-pricked. The neck is muscular and slightly arched, tapering from the shoulders to the head. The chest is deep and moderately wide, with well-sprung ribs and a slightly tucked abdomen that contributes to the breed's athletic appearance. The American Pit Bull Terrier wears a short, smooth coat that lies close to the body and showcases the underlying musculature. All colors and patterns are acceptable except for merle, which is a disqualifying fault. Common colors include solid shades of red, blue, fawn, black, and brindle, as well as combinations featuring white markings. The tail is relatively short compared to body size, thick at the base, and tapers to a point. It is set low and carried in line with the back or slightly below. The overall impression should be of a confident, keenly aware dog whose physical structure enables both explosive power and graceful movement.
