Bullies are very popular dogs as a pet for anyone who wants to own one. Selecting a Bullies from a bloodline which has a high-quality pedigree is one key requirement for anyone wanting to own such a dog. There are many kennels that produce such high-quality Bullies, but the dogs of the American Bully Gottiline are one of the most popular.
American Bullies Gottiline and Their Popularity
Dogs from the American Bully Gottiline bloodline are one of the most popular dogs in the United States and like other popular Bully bloodlines, they are in demand. However, these dogs are also popular outside the United States. Other countries like Japan, Canada, China and the Philippines have dog owners who have taken a liking to the Gottiline Pitbull dogs. It is quite remarkable that Gottiline dogs have such good popularity to most if not all countries. This dog’s loyal, friendly and faithful temperament is one of the things that make it so popular locally and globally.
How Was the American Bully Gottiline Bloodline Founded?
West Side kennel’s owner Richard Barajas was the one who founded the Gottiline bloodline. In 1997, he bought a dog from Tony Moore (who owns Grey Line Kennels) named “The Notorious Juan Gotty” at the amount of 1,300 dollars. It was the passing of Richard’s original sire named “Raider” that prompted him to buy Getty who was seven weeks old at that time Richard bought him from Tony. Note that the sire of the Bully Gottiline dogs had “I” instead of “y” in its name. Richard Barajas was the one who made this minor change in Gotti’s name. To date, Gotti has produced many males and females who would be the founders of their own bloodline. Most think that this dog would be one of the greatest dogs in the bully style movement’s history.
The Physical and Personality Traits of an American Bully Gottiline Bully dog
Most people say can’t tell or spot the difference between a dog from the Gottiline bloodline and another dog from a different one. The differences between dogs from various bloodlines are there though those differences are not easy to spot. Anyone was trying to spot the subtle differences may have some difficulty doing hence a person with a trained eye for bullies can help. This can be useful in trying to see if said dog is really from the Gottiline bloodline.
In general physical appearance, the Gottiline dog has a more bulldog look. The coloring of their coat have an oil specking or oil spotting pattern that is more apparent if said dog is white. A said pattern may not often appear on a Gottiline dog. The body has a lot of mass which gives the dog it’s stocky, muscular that makes it look similar to a bulldog. Also, expect a lot of girth from the dog. The head is broad in width, especially between its cheeks. Said cheeks need to be broad in order to house its powerful jaws. Supporting the head is its neck which is well-defined and thick with muscles. The neck runs into the dog’s chest which is well-sprung, deep and thick. Ears are cropped though it is optional to the dog’s owner. Eyes are round in shape that is of any color except blue. The Gottiline dog is a strong one and surprisingly agile in spite of its bulky and stocky look. The tolerance of this dog to physical injuries is remarkably strong which often gives the impression that nothing is wrong with the dog. The dog, in turn, needs a regular check-up to a good veterinarian is a must lest the injuries turn fatal for the Bully.
The personality of a Bully form the American Bully Gottiline bloodline is another thing that makes it popular as a pet. While their original stock is that of the original Pitbull, which is an aggressive fighting dog the Bully does not possess that kind of personality. Bullies are bred as pets, so their personality is a good-natured one, as well as affectionate and amusing. Has a great tolerance to children, strangers, and other dogs if they were together. Given enough love and care by its owner and family this dog will repay said actions with loyalty and an eagerness to please them. Most think that these dogs are dangerous and aggressive due to their look, but as the old saying goes “never judge a book by its cover” and Gottiline Bullies shows that the old saying is true for them.
Today the American Bully Gottiline bloodline has other bloodlines related to it. Some bloodlines like Kingpinline’s Goliath and Mikeland’s Kracker and Gator look up to Juan Gotty (or Gotti) as the foundation for their bloodline. Many Bully Pitbulls that are XXL size has Gotti as their foundation. From one dog came many Bullies of diverse style which is a very remarkable achievement for Juan Gotti and his owner Richard Barajas.

Betty says
I am thinking about a bully as a pet.
However my landlord says no pits,rottweiler or doberman.
So my question is, will my landlord think an American bully is a pit? How could I prove otherwise.
I sure hate to shell out a big chunk of change just to be told get rid of the dog or move.
Thanks ,Betty
Mindy says
To have one in a rental property american bully is a pitbull paperwork for the dog needs to say Staffordshire Terrier its the only way to get around Landlord and city ordinances.
lana says
A bully has pitbull blood so it can not be passed off as anything else then what it is .
Crash says
Pit bulls and bullies are two totally different breeds
Joan M Saunders says
In your paragraph, The Personality of a Bully you specifically say The American Bully Gottiline or is that bloodline is another thing that makes it a popular pet.
Now to put down a Pitbull to make the Bully seem a better pet is wrong saying ” While their original stock
is that of a Pitbull which is an aggressive fighting dog.”
That is SLANDER a False and Malicious Statement.
Pitbulls are born and bred as sweet loving puppies.
THEY ARE TRAINED TO FIGHT BY MISERABLE TWO LEGGED LAZY BASTARDS That Can’t Make a Living
Like a Normal Human Being. If the Bully was beaten and starved it would be just as vicious as they make
These Beautiful Pitbulls. DON’T BLAME THE BREED!!!
Joan says
My commen t was deleted somehow! This is is Joan and all I have to say is that Pitbulls are born as sweet lovable puppies. They are taken as puppies and used as bait dogs if they survive they continue to use them to fight. This is Taught and Burnt into that sweet little puppies brain. Plus he has no choice he is beaten, starved, abused and scared to death of he doesn’t do what he’s told. It is not the pitbull that is vicious, it is the basrards that brought the pitbullinto this life of misery
and pain. The bully would be exactly the same under the same circumstances. Just like the dogs before they started using pitbulls the Doberman, german shepard,
Mastif etc. Any dog that is treated so harshly and abused the way they are will become vicious. That goes for people too, it is forced upon them until they lash out at anything they come in contact with. I hope my first message wasn’t deleted I have alot to say in the defense of Pit bulls.

Agree with you 100%. My dog is now 4 and a half years old and is a red nose who was abused by an ignorant swine who tried to turn him into an aggressive dog when he was young. His leg was broken at 6 months and when the idiot couldn’t break his gentle spirit, abandoned him on the street soon afterwards. He was miraculously rescued by neighborhood children and found an owner who loved him. When the owner passed away, I rescued him before he was about to be sent to a shelter. This dog grew to be 90 lbs of love and I cannot believe how friendly he is to all. He was owned by an elderly man and could have easily been a therapy dog. I spoil him rotten and when we went to visit the Grand Canyon he was such a hit with the tourists, posing in pictures behind purple cliffs. I am a lucky gal for having him come into my life…

Well said ??

Check your state laws, in most states, breed discrimination is no longer allowed! However many agencies now use the “weight” guideline to disallow larger breeds!
Carmen says
Also to clarify a comment Lana made, unless you have a DNA test on your dog to determine bloodline, you DO NOT have to classify your dog as a pit bull. My vet lists my dogs breed as a “lab mix”, which is legal (since no DNA test has been done) and my home owners insurance must accept my vets breed classification, since he is expert in his field. Also, there are very, very few true “pit bull lines”, and the lab bloodline is found in some amount in almost all larger breeds not papered.
Just my 2 cents worth!

Kyle says
Great dogs way different look than your typical terrier dog but some still think there pits but they do make a good guard dog just gotta train them cause they don’t have game blood
Richard Froemling says
I recently acquired three puppies which are of God he and Boudro mix and I was I was told how vicious these dogs were but to my amazement they are loving and playful just like most other dogs I live in the Houston Texas area And would like to place these puppies in loving homes so that I can keep them out of the hands of the idiots who fight them I am older and can really keep them because I travel and it wouldn’t be fair to them if anyone has any information that they could share with me to place these puppies one male and two females I would appreciate it thank you
Dee Rice says
I have a beautiful female who looks like she could be closely related to this line . She is a very good dog if you only have two legs. Loves humans. HATES other dogs with a passion I have never seen.
Chad Cook says
I total agree these American Bullies are NOT American Pitbull Terriers if anything the bullies would be more likely to bite bite do your research almost always the real American Pitbull Terrier would be put down if it was human aggresive they could not take the chance. When you start adding other breeds you are compromising that so people need to quit bad mouthing the real APBT and get there facts straight. If nothing else they should atleast read all of Richard F Stratton’s books it will shed a lot of light for these people that don’t know what they are talking about.
