XL AMERICAN BULLY FAQs & Breed Facts
Straight From America’s Premier XL Bully Breeder
Bestination Bully Kennels has been breeding elite XL American Bullies for nearly two decades. We didn’t stumble into this breed — we built our entire reputation on it. From bloodline selection to daily socialization, every decision we make is about producing the most exceptional XL American Bully puppies available anywhere in the country. The name says it all: Bestination means Best in Nation. This page answers the most common questions about XL American Bullies — from breed basics to what makes our program the gold standard nationwide and worldwide.
What is an XL American Bully?
The XL American Bully is the largest class within the American Bully breed — a powerful, heavily muscled companion dog known for its impressive size, confident presence, and remarkably stable temperament. At Bestination Bully Kennels, we’ve spent nearly 20 years perfecting our XL American Bully program, producing dogs that combine raw physical presence with the kind of loyal, family-friendly nature that makes them truly exceptional companions.
How big do XL American Bullies get?
XL American Bullies typically stand between 19 and 23 inches tall and can weigh anywhere from 70 to 120+ pounds, depending on bloodline and build. At Bestination Bully Kennels, our XL American Bully puppies are bred from proven bloodlines known for heavy bone, dense muscle mass, and the kind of commanding presence that sets elite dogs apart from average ones.
What is the difference between an XL American Bully and other bully types?
The XL American Bully is the largest class in the American Bully breed family, which also includes Pocket, Standard, Classic, and Extreme variations. XL Bullies are taller, heavier, and built for a more powerful overall presence than any other class. At Bestination Bully Kennels, we specialize in the XL class specifically because we believe it represents the pinnacle of what the American Bully breed can be — maximum impact, maximum presence, maximum loyalty.
What is the difference between an XL American Bully and a Pit Bull?
This is one of the most common misconceptions about the breed. XL American Bullies and Pit Bulls are not the same dog. The American Bully was developed as its own distinct breed, selectively bred for a heavier, more compact build and a specifically companion-focused temperament. At Bestination Bully Kennels, our XL American Bully puppies are registered through recognized registries such as ABKC and UKC — both of which recognize the American Bully as its own breed, completely separate from the American Pit Bull Terrier.
Are XL American Bullies good family dogs?
Absolutely. XL American Bullies are loyal, affectionate, and deeply stable companions. They are confident yet gentle — outstanding with children, devoted to their families, and naturally people-oriented dogs. At Bestination Bully Kennels, temperament is evaluated alongside physical excellence in every single pairing we make. Our XL American Bully puppies are socialized from birth and raised in a family environment, so they arrive at their new homes ready to bond and thrive.
Are XL American Bullies aggressive?
No. XL American Bullies are not aggressive by nature. They are known for stable, confident, and affectionate temperaments — the opposite of what their intimidating appearance might suggest. At Bestination Bully Kennels, we’ve spent nearly 20 years breeding specifically for mental soundness alongside physical excellence. Our dogs are bold in presence and gentle in nature. That combination is the Bestination standard.
Do XL American Bullies require a lot of training?
XL American Bullies are trainable, much like any other breed, and are naturally well-balanced dogs with great temperaments. They are eager to please and respond well to confident, consistent handling. At Bestination Bully Kennels, we recommend early socialization and basic obedience to help your XL Bully puppy develop into the confident, well-mannered companion they are naturally built to be — but these are not difficult dogs. They want to make you happy.
Do XL American Bullies get along with other dogs?
Yes. XL American Bullies are social, people-oriented dogs that generally get along well with other dogs when introduced and socialized properly. At Bestination Bully Kennels, our puppies are raised around other dogs from day one, giving them a strong social foundation before they ever go home with their new families.
What colors do XL American Bullies come in?
XL American Bullies come in a wide range of colors, including black, blue, fawn, champagne, lilac, merle, chocolate, and more — including rare and exotic color combinations. At Bestination Bully Kennels, our XL American Bully puppies are produced from carefully selected bloodlines that include some of the most sought-after color profiles in the breed. Contact us to ask about current and upcoming litter color availability.
How long do XL American Bullies live?
XL American Bullies typically have a lifespan of 10 to 12 years with proper care. Longevity starts at the breeding level — which is why at Bestination Bully Kennels, every pairing is made with health and soundness as a priority alongside physical excellence. A well-bred Bestination XL Bully is built to be a long-term family member, not just a showpiece.
What do XL American Bully puppies eat?
XL American Bully puppies require high-quality nutrition to support healthy muscle development, bone density, and overall growth. At Bestination Bully Kennels, we feed our puppies premium kibble or a balanced raw diet with quality protein sources like chicken, beef, and fish. When you bring home a Bestination XL Bully puppy, we provide feeding guidance so you can continue the same nutritional foundation we started them on.
