Buying a Puppy
Do you have American Bully puppies for sale right now?
Availability changes often, so check our Puppies page for current litters and prices. If nothing is listed, call or text 561-714-2477 to ask about upcoming litters.
How much does an American Bully puppy cost?
Our American Bully puppies are typically priced from about $4,000 to $12,500. The price depends on the parents, structure, color, size and whether the puppy is pet or breeding quality.

Our French Bulldog puppies have recently been listed around $5,000 to $6,000. Prices vary by litter and color, so see the French Bulldog Puppies page for current pricing.
Why are quality American Bully puppies expensive?
Good puppies cost more because of champion parents, health care, registration, vaccinations and the time it takes to raise a litter right. You are paying for predictable structure, temperament and a puppy that was raised with care.
How do I reserve a puppy?
A $1,000 deposit reserves a puppy. Send the deposit by Cash App ($nmgbullies) or PayPal (paypal.me/nmgbullies) and put your puppy pick and litter in the notes or memo. Then call or text 561-714-2477 to confirm.

What should I write in the payment memo?
Put your puppy pick and the litter name in the notes or memo when you send the deposit. That way we can match your payment to the right puppy right away.
How fast do puppies sell?
Each breeding has limited spots, and popular litters often reserve quickly. If you see a puppy you like, we recommend placing your deposit early.

What is the difference between a pet and a breeding-quality puppy?
Breeding-quality puppies show the structure and pedigree best suited for a breeding program, and they are usually priced higher. Pet-quality puppies make wonderful family companions. Ask us which is right for your goals.

Papers, Health and Vaccines
Do your American Bully puppies come with papers?
Yes. Our American Bully puppies are sold with ABKC (American Bully Kennel Club) papers.
Do your French Bulldog puppies come with papers?
Yes. Our French Bulldog puppies are sold with AKC papers.
What is the ABKC?
The ABKC is the American Bully Kennel Club, the main registry for the American Bully breed. It records pedigrees and runs shows where dogs can earn champion titles.
Are the puppies vaccinated?
Yes. Puppies come with their age-appropriate vet vaccinations. Your vet will continue the vaccine schedule after the puppy goes home.
Do puppies come with a health certificate?
Yes. Every puppy is sold with a health certificate from a veterinarian.
Are the puppies dewormed?
Puppies get routine vet care before going home. Ask us for the puppy's records so your vet can continue the deworming and vaccine schedule.
What should I do at my puppy's first vet visit?
Bring the vaccine and health records we give you. Your vet will do a check-up, plan the remaining vaccines and set up flea, tick and heartworm prevention.
How old are puppies when they go home?
Puppies go home at 8 weeks or older. Florida law requires puppies to be at least 8 weeks old before they are sold.
Are your dogs health tested?
We breed from healthy, well-built parents and every puppy gets a vet health certificate. Ask us about the specific health history of any litter's parents.
What health problems should I watch for in American Bullies?
Watch for skin allergies, joint stress from extra weight and overheating in hot weather. Keep your Bully lean, use a quality diet and keep up with regular vet visits.
What health problems should I watch for in French Bulldogs?
Frenchies are flat-faced, so breathing and heat stress are the biggest concerns. They can also have skin fold and allergy issues. Keep them cool and see your vet if you notice loud breathing or snoring that gets worse.
Should I get pet insurance?
Many owners do, especially for bully breeds and Frenchies. Insurance can help with unexpected costs like allergies, injuries or surgery.
Stud Service

Yes. We offer stud service with our proven studs, including ABKC Champion Homicide. See our Available Studs and Stud Service pages for details.

How much is the stud fee?
Stud fees depend on the stud. Contact us for current fees, and remember that a puppy deposit can be transferred toward a stud fee.
What do you need from my female before breeding?
Your female should be healthy, of breeding age and up to date on vet care. Bring her records and her registration information when you book.
When should I contact you about breeding my female?
Contact us before or at the very start of her heat cycle. That gives us time to plan the best breeding days.
Can I use a stud for a female from a different bloodline?
Yes. Many owners breed to our studs to add structure and bloodline strength to their program. Tell us about your female and we will talk through the pairing.
Will I get papers for the litter?
Ask us about the breeding and litter registration paperwork when you book. Both the stud and the female need to be registered for the litter to be registered with the ABKC.
American Bully Breed Questions
What is an American Bully?
The American Bully is a companion breed developed in the United States from American Pit Bull Terrier and American Staffordshire Terrier lines. It is known for a muscular build, wide chest and friendly, loyal temperament.
What is a pocket American Bully?
A pocket American Bully is the smallest of the main size classes. Under the ABKC standard, pocket males are about 14 to under 17 inches at the withers and females about 13 to under 16 inches.
What is an exotic American Bully?
Exotic is a common name for very compact, heavily built bullies that fall outside the standard size classes. They are known for extreme muscle and short stature, so careful breeding for health is important.
What sizes do American Bullies come in?
The ABKC recognizes Pocket, Standard, Classic and XL. Size is mainly measured by height at the withers.
How big will my American Bully puppy get?
Final size depends on the parents and the size class. Pocket bullies usually stay under 17 inches tall, while standard and XL bullies grow taller. Ask us about the parents' size for any litter.
How long do American Bullies live?
American Bullies usually live about 10 to 13 years. A healthy weight, good food and regular vet care help them live longer.
Are American Bullies good with kids?
Yes. American Bullies are known for being gentle and loving with their families, including children. Always supervise young kids with any dog and teach them how to play safely.
Are American Bullies aggressive?
The breed was developed for a friendly, stable temperament. Good breeding, early socialization and training are what make a calm, confident adult dog.
Are American Bullies good guard dogs?
Their size and presence can deter strangers, and they are protective of their families. But they are mainly companion dogs and are usually friendly once they meet people.
Do American Bullies get along with other dogs?
Many do, especially when socialized from a young age. Introduce new dogs slowly and supervise play while your puppy is growing.
How much exercise does an American Bully need?
Most American Bullies need about 30 to 60 minutes of activity a day, such as walks and play. Avoid hard exercise in the heat and avoid heavy jumping while puppies are still growing.
Do American Bullies shed?
They have a short coat and shed a low to moderate amount. Weekly brushing keeps shedding down and the coat shiny.
How often should I bathe my American Bully?
Every 4 to 6 weeks is enough for most bullies, or when they get dirty. Bathing too often can dry out their skin. See our dog bath tips on the blog.
Are American Bullies easy to train?
Yes. They are smart and eager to please, and they respond best to short, positive training sessions with treats and praise.
Can American Bullies live in an apartment?
Many do well in apartments, especially pocket bullies, as long as they get daily walks and play. Check your building's pet rules before you buy.
Are American Bullies the same as Pit Bulls?
No. The American Bully is its own breed, recognized by the ABKC and the UKC. It shares ancestry with the American Pit Bull Terrier but is bred for a different build and a companion temperament.
What colors do American Bullies come in?
American Bullies come in many colors, including blue, black, fawn, chocolate, lilac and tri-color patterns like blue tri. Color does not affect temperament.

Can French Bulldogs swim?
Most French Bulldogs cannot swim well because of their heavy front and short face. Always use a dog life jacket and watch them closely around pools and water.
How much exercise does a French Bulldog need?
Short daily walks and indoor play are enough for most Frenchies. Keep walks to cooler parts of the day, especially in Florida.
Puppy Care
What should I feed my American Bully puppy?
Feed a quality large- or medium-breed puppy food with real meat as the first ingredient. Split it into 3 meals a day until about 6 months, then 2 meals. Ask us what the puppy has been eating so you can switch slowly.
How do I switch my puppy to a new food?
Mix the old and new food over about 7 to 10 days, adding more of the new food each day. This helps prevent an upset stomach.
What supplies do I need before my puppy comes home?
You will need a crate, food and water bowls, puppy food, a collar and leash, chew toys, puppy pads or a potty area, and a vet appointment. Our blog has a full checklist.
How do I potty train my puppy?
Take the puppy out first thing in the morning, after meals, after naps and before bed, and praise right away when they go outside. A crate and a steady schedule make it much faster. See our potty training guide on the blog.
When should I start training my puppy?
Start the day your puppy comes home. Begin with the name, sit, crate time and potty training, using short, positive sessions.
How do I socialize my puppy?
Let your puppy calmly meet new people, sounds, surfaces and vaccinated dogs in safe places. Keep each experience short and positive, especially before vaccines are complete.
When can my puppy go outside on walks?
Short walks in safe areas are fine early on, but avoid dog parks and busy pet areas until your vet says the vaccines are complete.
How do I keep my bully cool in the Florida heat?
Walk early in the morning or in the evening, give plenty of shade and fresh water, and keep them inside with A/C during the hottest hours. Never leave a dog in a parked car.
How do I clean my dog's wrinkles?
Wipe skin folds gently with a damp cloth or pet wipe a few times a week, then dry them fully. Moisture left in folds can cause irritation.
How often should I trim my dog's nails?
Trim nails about every 2 to 3 weeks. If you hear clicking on the floor, the nails are too long.
Should I crate train my puppy?
Yes. A crate gives your puppy a safe place to rest and makes potty training much easier. Never use the crate as punishment.
When should I spay or neuter my American Bully?
Talk to your vet about timing. Many vets suggest waiting until larger breeds are more physically mature.
How do I keep my American Bully at a healthy weight?
Measure meals, limit treats and keep daily exercise steady. You should be able to feel the ribs without seeing them.
What chew toys are safe for bully breeds?
Choose tough rubber toys made for strong chewers and replace them when they break apart. Avoid cooked bones and toys small enough to swallow.
How do I stop my puppy from biting?
When the puppy bites, stop playing and redirect them to a chew toy. Praise them for chewing the toy, and be consistent with everyone in the home.
How do I stack my dog for a show?
Stacking means posing the dog to show off its structure, with legs square and head up. See our guide on how to stack a dog for a dog show on the blog.

How do I register my puppy with the ABKC?

Can I show my American Bully?
Yes. ABKC shows are a great way to meet other owners and see how your dog measures up. Ask us for tips on getting started.
Can I breed my puppy later?
Breeding rights depend on your purchase. Discuss your plans with us before you buy so we can point you to the right puppy.
What should I do if my puppy seems sick?
