Defining the Leopard Bully Breed
The Leopard Bully boasts a rich history stemming from various bulldog and terrier breeds. Their lineage and selective breeding have produced a loyal companion with a distinctive leopard coat.
Origins of the Leopard Bully
Bulldogs, with their courageous working roots in medieval England, contributed their sturdy muscular build and pushed-in face to the Leopard Bully dog. Their history traces back to bull baiting in the 1100s. After that brutal sport was outlawed in the 1800s, Bulldogs were bred to have a more docile temperament but maintained their power and brachycephalic structure.
Terriers, originally bred for vermin hunting and guarding, lent their energetic temperament and agility to the breed. Feisty terriers like the American Pit Bull and Staffordshire Bull Terrier were influential in shaping the Leopard Bully dog.
Modern selective breeding starting in the 1980s emphasized the breed’s distinctive spotted coat patterns and sociable, relaxed temperament. The Leopard Bully was recognized by the International Bully Coalition in 2004.
