The American Bully Staffy Bull Terrier resulted from the crossbreeding of two breeds – the American Bulldog and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. While the breed was established in the United States, the exact year and location is unknown. There is not much information regarding the American Bully Staffy Bull Terrier available and thus, it is currently unknown why the breeds were mixed. It can be theorized that the American Bulldog and Staffordshire Bull Terrier were bred to create a more powerful breed capable of effectively completing its tasks while also being a loving companion to its family. The American Bully Staffy Bull Terrier is said to have high energy and loves to be engaged with others. It thrives from intense play and prefers to be able to roam free as Terriers do. Its original and current purpose is to serve as a guard dog as well as a wonderful companion to families. The American Bulldog is known to have originally been bred to be aggressive decades ago. Fortunately, much of the aggressiveness has been bred out of the parent breed and the breed is now considered to be an affectionate one. The American Bulldog and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier are both protectors and enjoy being able to guard against dangers and intruders. The Staffordshire Bull Terrier's original purpose was to hunt and chase small animals, which it did successfully. When the breed was imported to the United States, the American breeders desired to increase its weight and enlarge the size of its head.
