XL American Bully · Central California
We are a family kennel building a new large style of XL bully: serious size, correct structure, and a temperament you can trust around kids, because our puppies are raised in the house with ours from day one. Foundation blood from Bossy Kennels.
Our program
We started Bully Bear to set a new standard: the size and presence of the biggest bullies, the structure and athleticism to carry it, and a family temperament ahead of everything else.
Every litter here is raised in our home, around our children. We call it our baby practice program. The puppies learn gentleness with small kids from their first weeks, and our kids learn to care for something that depends on them. By the time a puppy leaves for your family, living with people is all it has ever known.
We breed for a clean, correct look: bully proportion, a wide chest with a complementing rear, heavy bone and girth for good hips and joints, a large head, and a muzzle short enough for the look but never at the cost of breathing. Too much or too little of anything is not good. Our target adult weights are 80 to 110 pounds for females and 90 to 130 for males, big enough to turn heads, never so big the dog loses its athleticism.
We have been blessed with our standout foundation male, Maximus, and we thank Bossy Kennels for him. To us he is the epitome of the XL bully, and we are moving the line forward through him in every generation.
01
Puppies are whelped and socialized in the house, not out in a kennel run. The baby practice program is the heart of everything we do.
02
We are combining the best of every bully style into one large, correct dog. Our studs and dams vary in size on purpose. The goal is the blend.
03
Every pairing has to move the line forward. Maximus set the standard, and each generation is bred to advance it.
The males
Four males stand behind the program. Every pedigree is public. Stud service on Maximus and Titan is open by inquiry.
Foundation stud · Lilac Tri
Jumanji x Gigi
Max is the dog this kennel is built around. Produced by Bossy Kennels, he brought the Bully Bear image into focus, and every generation we breed is measured against him. To us, he is the epitome of the XL bully.
Stud
King Tut x Kona Etana
A blue tri male produced by Misguided Bullies. Wide front, thick frame, and the easy, level disposition we select every dog in this program for.

Common questions
Our target adult weights are 80 to 110 pounds for females and 90 to 130 pounds for males. We hold that range on purpose. Too much or too little of anything is not good, and a dog that outgrows its own joints is not our idea of the ultimate bully.
Our puppies are raised in our home with our children from birth. The puppies learn to be gentle around small kids, and our kids learn to love and care for the dogs. It is the foundation of the temperament people notice in our adults.
Our foundation male, Maximus, was produced by Bossy Kennels, and so was our female Gwen. The rest of the yard brings in MBK, Swags, Stormelit, and Misguided Bullies blood. Every dog's pedigree is listed right on its card above, and we are happy to talk through any of them.
This is the reason the kennel exists. We breed for docile family love and loyalty first, and every puppy is raised around our own children from week one. The temperament you see in our adults is the temperament we breed back to.
Yes. Maximus and Titan are both open for stud service. Call or text us with your female's pedigree and we will talk fees and logistics.
