A recent Bully Dog Show in Legazpi City sought to change perceptions about the American Bully breed, known for its muscular build and confident demeanor, by highlighting its friendly and loyal nature.

At first glance, the American Bully can appear intimidating due to its muscular build.

However, experts at the event emphasized that these dogs are actually loyal, friendly, and make great family pets.

The show, held at a local mall in Legazpi City, Albay aimed to educate people about the breed and teach proper care for these dogs.

"Ang purpose nung aming club is to educate people regarding the bully breed and also to inform people na napakabait po ng pitbull," Ivan Ramos, the organizer from Bully Breeder International, said.

The event featured various categories, including competitions for the largest, smallest, and most beautiful dogs in terms of color and body structure.

Breeders from different parts of the region participated in the event.

Harles Caranza, a breeder, shared how the breed is gaining recognition.

"Actually, sa bully industry dati hindi pa ito narerecognized pero ngayon parang dumadami na yung breed naa-accept na rin ng bully community," Caranza said.
