Why this breed is missing
The breed-specific health risks for the Exotic Bully are high—especially when it comes to breathing and stamina. In these cases, a lot depends on the breeder: on consistent screenings, transparent results, and breeding selection that prioritizes health over appearance. Assessing this breed is complex and not straightforward. We currently don't have a standard for this that we would rely on—which is why we aren't showing any breeders or puppies for this breed for the time being. As soon as we can change this, we'll include the breed again.

Answer 6 quick questions about your everyday life and see how well the Exotic Bully fits you — including an honest cost estimate per month, per year, and across the dog's lifetime.

The Exotic Bully originated around 2012 in the USA from the American Bully and is purposefully bred for extreme traits that are considered faults in other breeds: severely shortened, sometimes bowed legs, an excessively wide head, and a muzzle so short that the airways are significantly constricted. This combination of dwarfism and extreme brachycephaly makes the Exotic Bully one of the most medically compromised dog types in existence. HonestDog does not list puppies of this type, as the namesake extreme traits are directly linked to chronic suffering, and breeding for them is legally questionable in Germany. Anyone interested in the Bully look should be aware that a healthily proportioned dog without these extremes is possible and will lead a significantly longer, pain-free life.
