Story
I have a beautiful 3 year old intact female American Bully. She is purebred and is a Killinois dog. Killinois kennel is a very popular American Bully breeder. Anyhow, she is a great dog but our life has become a little to hectic and I believe she would be better served with someone able to give her more time. She has no issues and completely potty trained and fit and healthy. I had plans to bred but it is not in the cards at this time. This site had no category for American bully. She is not an American bulldog or American Staffordshire terrier. She is considered a pocket bully in size and is a trim, muscular 56 pounds. Details contact (xxx) xxx-xxxx . Thanks.
