American Bully Controversial

I am horrified by the state of this poor dog.

Unbelievable.

I'm not even going to touch this one. I got into it a while back with a friend of mine who's in a group for people who own these dogs. It took all of three seconds for me to get the gist of who wants them and breeds them. It angered me so much I almost broke my keyboard.

WOW, that looks terrible - poor dog!

Poor dog

When are we, as civilised societies, going to put a stop to it

No need ....

Its looks like a horse thats back has roached ..

Looking at the rest of the blog there are more examples of some seriously deformed dogs

If people want this type of xxl pitbull why not get a healthy one at least..

Another deformed/seriously faulted dog. Just for show purposes. This happens with German Shepherds, Chow Chows, Neapolitan Mastiffs and countless other breeds also. Breeding poorly to enhance certain aspects of a dog appearance is not limited to the American Bully. Anybody who shows a "slanted" backed German Shepherd, an overly fluffy/hairy Chow Chow, or a Neo with way too much excessive skin is also guilty of doing this. Poms with faces too flat, Shih Tzus with WAY too much fur. None of these dogs were meant to look like that and all of these dogs have health problems caused by what show breeders have done to them. The English Bulldog as it is today, a waddling mass of health problems (also often used to breed the American Bully mutts) Poor American Bully... he looks miserable.

I can't believe that dog is actually being shown and he hasn't been booted out! Surely he doesn't win anything? I've never seen anything like that before, that's truly awful!

My thoughts exactly. I don't know how the owner has the nerve to show him, but the fact that he actually made it into the ring is unbelievable.

Look what they can look like ,not cropped either ...

hey guys,the pic of the dog in question,is at the extream end of breeding for the, low rider pit, im shocked and iv got 2 of these dogs,they look nothing like that,if you look in the back ground you will see the blue dog.that looks more like.when you see the ads on line they only show you,what they consider,the low,and powerfull looking dogs, usually cropped as well, if you look at a site called,razors edge, you will see what i mean.this dog looks outragious,and probably won something for that...heres my two,both are from theses bloodlinesthey look nothing like the extream we see in there ads,mine are rescues

Looking at those dogs you wouldn't believe they were the same breed as the poor creature I linked to. Where did it all go wrong?

it is hard to belive,just goes to show you the extream within a breed.im still shocked.both of mine have thick bone dencity and less of the muscle density.if you put two extreams together ,you get this.

Wow I didnt think I could be surprised any more what people will breed
seriously do they not even look at what they are producing!!???

it is the look,that they are looking for. its called the mesomorph ,naturally muscular.some males will go for 3500 dollars.us.i rescued 3 pups at one time and kept one for myself,one of the other pups is low and muscular like the images posted here ,not so extream, but bully looking.iv got 2 dogos,one is of standard,24inch and the other is exteamly tall,she is 32..shows me how much of a swing there can be within breeds,here is the two im speeking of...ko and ea

I can't believe that dog is actually standing up without help, let alone in a showring. How kennel blind do you have to be to not see what a mess that dog is? I'm pretty sure it's achondroplastic. Which is fine when the breed is a basset or corgi, but since when have pitbulls had short legs and backs so long and swayed they look like they've broken their spines?

They look a lot better. As for the pic of that unfortunate dog, its disgusting! Poor dog

Gosh, someone just DESTROYED those poor dogs ears. Why the AWFUL battle crop on the short one? The dog has absolutely no ears. Another cosmetic alteration of a dog...
