what breed is an xl bully

An XL Bully is a type of American Bully, which is a breed of dog. The American Bully was divided into four categories by the founding registry, including the Pocket, Standard, Classic, and XL. The XL Bully is the largest of the American Bully breeds, weighing anywhere from 70 to 120 pounds and standing 20 to 24 inches tall at the shoulder. The breed is a crossbreed of the American Pit Bull Terrier with other breeds such as English Bulldogs, Olde English Bulldogge, and American Bulldogs. While American Bullies are generally friendly and gentle, they have been known to be reactive and aggressive towards both humans and dogs. In the UK, XL Bullies have been responsible for half of all dog-related deaths between 2021 and June 2023, and the Kennel Club has opposed calls for the XL Bully to be banned.
