Summary
About American Bully
The American Bully is a compact, muscular companion dog from the U.S., derived from pit bull–type breeds and bred for a stable, friendly temperament. Available in several sizes, it has a blocky head, short low-care coat, and thrives on close family contact, training, and socialisation.
About Irish Water Spaniel
Medium–large, athletic gundog with a distinctive curly liver coat, smooth face and tapering “rat tail.” Clever, water‑loving retriever that forms close bonds, often to one person. Needs substantial daily exercise, mental work, regular grooming and kind, consistent training.
