American Bully vs Labradoodle
American Bully
Friendly, loyal and deceptively gentle: the American Bully forms a deep bond with its family and surprises with a temperament that sharply contrasts its muscular build. Developed in the 1990s as a companion breed, not a working dog, it is patient with children and sociable by design. UK owners need to be aware of the XL Bully ban introduced in 2024, which affects the largest size variant but not Standard, Classic or Pocket American Bullies per se.
