Bull Terrier or not?

SunnyBull

So 11 years ago I was the luckiest girl in the world and was given the most beautiful, lovable bull terrier. We went through so much together in her 11 years and we were inseparable. Long story short, she passed away in March. I was told about a littler of bull terrier pups in my area, it wasn’t a reputable breeder or anything, just someone who had a male and female that had pups. Anywho, i thought it might help with the grieving process to get that energy back in my home again. When I went to see them, they were smaller than I expected, 10 puppies total, and didn’t have that distinguished bull terrier face we all know and love. I was think maybe she just has to grow into it. I did take one of the puppies and I would love to know what you bully lovers think! Either way I love her and she has found her forever home with me.

My First Bull Terrier, Raya. Got her at 6 months old. Passed away right before her 11th birthday.

Cute puppy. Certainly not a pure bred but cute anyway. Appears to be crossed with a APBT.

Very cute puppy. Looks like a bull terrier/ pitbull mix.

Whatever kind of puppy mix this is I'd love to have it!! Lol she is beautiful!! Definitely has bull terrier in her, she looks like she is going to be a stocky little thing!! So sorry about your baby but absolutely loved the pics, her personality comes through in them! :x

Thank you all for your replies! Either way i'm growing very attached to this little girl. She has a very fiesty side but can turn on the sweetness and melt my heart in a second!

I miss my girl Raya everyday, but this little girl definitely keeps a smile on my face!

I do have pictures of her parents. Her mom was white with an eye patch, and her dad was a tri color just like she was. The rest of the litter was adorable, but what puppy isn't?? hah!

Sunny is 12 weeks old now and 14.2 pounds. I feel like she is really small for 12 weeks but she is just the cutest thing! Here are some new pictures! The first 2 were about 1-2 weeks ago, and the last few are from yesterday and today at the dog park.

I welcome all thoughts and opinions about her breed and her size! Thanks

It's nearly impossible to provide people with the appropriate size and weight for their Bullie when this would vary with every dog due to different bloodlines of the sire and dam. One person may end up with a 85 lbs Bullie Terrier that's 24" to the withers and has a lot of muscle mass while another person may end up with 45 lbs Bull Terrier that is very lean and more "Terrier" type. With this said growth rates will be different too. The best thing you can do is just ensure a proper diet and exercise regime is followed and your Bullie's physical appearance and weight is appropriate for their present size.

Thank you very much for your response! That eases my mind about her size. I wondered if maybe she wasn’t 12 weeks. But now I know it could just be her genetics! You also sent me a lengthy email response to my post when I first posted. Thank you for being so detailed. I love the breed and any knowledge I can gain in them is appreciated.

She really is adorable no matter what her background is- the first pics though her tricolor marking are similar to my boys- her head made me think she has some pitt/ staffy too,I thought my guy was small for his age at 12 weeks too, but apparently now he's Yeti for his age lol.

Those ears of hers are just trying so hard to stand up !! My last dog was an EBT/ Great dane cross( rescue) he had the EBT ears and was a stunning boy.You lil one will be just lovely.
