Why this breed is missing
The breed-specific health risks for the Pocket 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 choices that put health ahead of 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.

AI imageThe Pocket Bully originated in the USA in the 2000s from American Bully breeding by selectively pairing particularly small, heavy-set parent dogs to create a miniature version of the classic Bully type. The result is a dog carrying a disproportionately heavy, broad body volume on very short legs. HonestDog does not match buyers with puppies of this breeding type because the underlying exaggeration of size and stature promotes health risks that could be avoided with responsible breeding. Anyone looking for a small, robust family dog will find significantly lower-risk alternatives in healthy, medium-sized breeds without extreme bodily proportions.

We show what's on file: who the breeders are, how they work and which health records they've uploaded. That way you can form your own picture.
Every breeder on HonestDog has their identity and documents checked before their profile goes live. Health records they upload are shown on the profile, so you can see exactly what has been tested.
Before a breeder profile goes live, we check identity, club membership or breeding permit, and photos of the breeding environment. HonestDog puts you in touch with the breeder and doesn't sell dogs itself — we can't guarantee any individual dog.
We've already checked the breeders' documents and gathered the details, so you can skip the endless research and focus on finding the right puppy for your family.

We don't currently place puppies of this breed, so we don't maintain a breeder list — not because responsible breeders don't exist, but because we can't yet reliably carry out the health vetting this breed requires.
