Exotic Bully Breed Standard BREEDERS CUP ASSOCIATION 2018 EXOTIC BULLY BREED STANDARD FOREWORD The Exotic Bully has been around since approximately 2013 as a “breed” recognized by the USBR, the first Exotic Bullies were American Bullies that were exclusive to a few bloodlines that concentrated on the more “bulldoggy” looking traits and were beyond the “standar d” set up for the American Bully within other r egistries. The Exotic Bullies were cast out by those registries for not being American Bullies and not fitting their standards. During this time period there were other breeds that were brought into the Exotic Bullies that were not readily sp oken about in the breed’s history which consists of American Bulldog, English Bulldog, Olde English Bulldog, and French Bulldog just to name a few that were added by certain bloodlines to enhance the look the breeders were trying to achieve above and beyond the original breed. Over the last few years the Exotic Bully is beginning to get a “desired” look that is becoming more consistent and this breed standard will serve as a standard for which they will be graded by with the goal of bringing more even consistency to the breed. We also recognize that the Exotic Bully is a continuing breed that still to this day has various looks defined by bloodline. This breed standard is to serve the breed in protecting its health as well as not preventing breeders from following their v ision to create their version of the breed. This breed standard will be revisited in a few years for revision if necessary.
