The main focus of breeding should be for the betterment of the breed. Keeping health, temperament, and structure the focus to preserve the breed as a whole.
Breeding isn't about more mass, more bone, bigger head, wider chest. It's not about changing for more exaggerated features "extreme" as they call it.
The American bully is a heavy breed meaning it has large bone, girth with well sprung ribs, large head with chiseled cheeks.
Breeding for overly exaggerated features more and more is the biggest issue and it's not preserving a breed it's changing a breed away from it's already written breed standard.
Which sacrifices the health, lifespan, structure as a whole.
Yes some are health testing however health testing.
Many keep their dogs at a obese weight and call it mass. Which again sacrifices health puts strain on joints and organs.
If you watch and see dogs struggling to gait a few laps the dog is obese and not conditioned to handle much at all. Meaning structure is also sacrificed.
This breed is a companion breed which dosen't mean lazy blob that cannot do anything.
A companion breed is supposed to do anything alongside its owner (biking, hiking, swimming, weight pull, agility, lure coursing, barn hunt, nose work ect.....)
