BULLY STANDARD VARIETY
Males from 43 cm to 51 cm (17 to 20 inches) to the cross. Females from 40 cm to 48 cm (16 to 19 inches) at the cross. It is important to keep in mind that Standard American Bully dogs should not be penalized for exhibiting a huge, voluminous and muscular body type.

Pocket Bully dogs share the same constitution, body type and breed type as the Standard American Bully, and should not be penalized for exhibiting a very muscular, massive and bulky body type.
VARIETY
This is an amendment to the basic standard that a Classic Bully is determined by its body structure and construction. Both sexes have a lighter body and less body mass in general, but still exhibit "bully" features.
Example of bully traits: thick / heavy heads; short / square muzzles; heavier bone, muscle and compact body. Overall, more bone and substance than the American Pit Bull Terrier and the modern American Staffordshire Terrier and more "terrier type".
Classic Bully to give the appearance of bullier, old-style American Pit Bull Terriers and/or American Staffordshire Terrier, which constituted the origin of the American Bully.
The Classic Bully variety is simply an American Bully dog that has a lighter body structure (lighter bones) and less general body mass (less substance) than the Standard American Bully. Apart from this difference, the Classic Bully variety follows the same standard as the Standard American Bully.
