CALEDONIA, MS – JULY 16, 2018: Brantlee Stokes (left) sits in the front yard with his pet dog. Stokes's mother, Renee Castleman, runs Gatorhead Bullies, an American Bully breeding service that offers American Bully puppies to prospective owners, often with a price tag of over $2,000 per animal.
First bred in the United States between 1980 and 1990, the American Bully was produced using a foundation of American Staffordshire Terriers and American Pit Bull Terriers, and bred to several bulldog-type breeds with the purpose of being a family companion dog. Despite public concern over the safety and ethical standards of breeding these dogs for enjoyment as pets, American Bullies remain in high demand for pet owners and represent a highly profitable business for small operation family breeders.
