American Bully Kennel Club

The American Bully Kennel Club (ABKC) is an international official registry for the American Bully breed.
Created in 2004 to acknowledge and preserve the American Bully, the ABKC has played a role in creating breed standards and planning exhibitions. For breeders and aficionados, the ABKC offers pedigree information, registration services, and educational materials. The ABKC also inspects breeding facilities and hosts events where the American Bully breed can compete and win various titles.
Background
President
The current president of the ABKC is Dave Wilson. He has been the president of this organization since its founding in 2004.
Wilson hosts and organizes at least seven ABKC dog shows per year all around the world. He has made the price to enter these ABKC events 20 dollars. However, Wilson recognizes veterans in shows around Veterans Day and makes it free of cost for veterans and their families.
Breed Size
The American bully breed is recognized by Wilson and the ABKC, which divides it into three categories: XL, standard, and pocket. Within these three American bully variations, every breed competes against the others based on height.
Male Height: Under twenty inches and no less than seventeen inches tall.
Female Height: Under nineteen inches and no less than sixteen inches tall.
Stacking
During the dog show, the dog is taken around the ring by its handler and stops after completing one lap into a position called "Stack".
Faults and Disqualifications
Faults evaluated by the judges deduct points from the overall score but do not disqualify the dog.
Disqualifications in competition: Pink or albino eyes, undershot mouth, cryptorchidism, bobbed tail. Junior-Handlers each receive a certification number and are assigned dogs based on their ages.
