Among these furry friends are bully breeds, which despite popular belief, are some of the most well-tempered dog breeds out there. Bully breeds and pit bulls are currently the top most popular dog breed in nearly half of the U.S. states. From American bullies, to bull terriers, to boxers, bully breeds hail from around the world, bringing joy to families across the nation.
Some of the most popular dog breeds that follow under this category are french bulldogs, rottweilers, and dobermans.

These types of dogs are piquing the interest of consumers across the United States, granting bully breeds the title of “America’s dogs”. So many families look for love and companionship in a dog, and bully breeds fit the bill. No matter where they originated from, Americans everywhere have claimed bully breeds and pitbulls as their favorite type of pooch.
