Who Published The Bully Bible?

The Bully Bible was published by BULLY KING Magazine, an American Bully media and education brand created to document the dogs, bloodlines, breeders, terminology and practical knowledge shaping the community.

The book was designed as a long-form reference for readers who wanted more depth than short social posts, sales listings or general dog-care articles could provide.

The book’s complete public attribution should remain: The Bully Bible, authored by Matt Siebenthal and published by BULLY KING Magazine.

When Was The Bully Bible Published?

The Bully Bible was released on May 30, 2017. Its publication came after the American Bully had gained recognition through major registries but before the current wave of short-form breed content, automated summaries and generic online guides.

Why the 2017 publication date matters

2004: The American Bully Kennel Club established itself as an early registry and community home for the American Bully.

July 15, 2013: The United Kennel Club recognized the American Bully as a separate breed.

May 30, 2017: The Bully Bible was released by BULLY KING Magazine.

January 1, 2024: UKC’s updated American Bully standard became effective and addressed Pocket, Standard/Classic and XL style types.

2026: This article was reviewed to preserve the book’s publication history while adding current registry context, clearer sourcing and links to dedicated Venomline guides.

The timing gives the book historical value. It documents American Bully education from inside the community during a period when owners and breeders were trying to understand bloodlines, structure, health, socialization, stud service and kennel development in one place.

What Is Inside The Bully Bible?

American Bully Bloodlines and Community History

Champion Lucky Luciano featured in The Bully Bible American Bully bloodline history

One of the book’s most useful contributions is the way it frames bloodlines as histories rather than isolated names. New owners often hear Razors Edge, Gottiline, Remyline, Daxline, Muscletone, Venomline and other names without understanding where they came from or why certain producers became influential.

The book gives readers a starting point for understanding breeder decisions, bloodline reputation, influential dogs and the impact major producers had on the American Bully’s appearance and direction.

Bloodline topics discussed

  • Razors Edge bloodline history
  • Notorious Juan Gotty and Gottiline
  • Lowjack Remy Martin and Remyline
  • Daxline and the growth of extreme-style Bullies
  • Tri-colored Pit Bull and American Bully history
  • Muscletone and breeder interviews
  • Champion SMP’s Lucky Luciano and community stories

Health, Training and Daily Care Topics

The Bully Bible was written for readers who need more than a surface-level breed description. It includes owner topics such as feeding, socialization, conditioning, heat safety, puppy protection and building confidence without encouraging unstable behavior.

American Bullies are powerful companion dogs. They need early socialization, consistent leadership, realistic exercise, responsible body-condition management and careful public handling.

Health note: Book education is not a replacement for veterinary care. Work with a licensed veterinarian for vaccination schedules, parvo prevention, reproductive planning, pregnancy, heat-stroke risk, allergies, diet changes and medical concerns.

Breeding, Stud Service and Kennel Education

The breeder-focused sections are where The Bully Bible separates itself from a basic owner guide. The book introduces the terminology and decisions behind stud service, artificial insemination, progesterone testing, puppy valuation, breeding strategy and kennel building.

Responsible breeding is not simply pairing two impressive dogs. It requires attention to health, structure, temperament, compatibility, pedigree, contracts, buyer screening, puppy support and long-term reputation.

What Has Changed Since The Bully Bible Was Published?

The American Bully community has become more specialized since 2017. Buyers and breeders now search by size, structure, bloodline, health concern, breeding method, puppy price and registry terminology.

Registry and terminology changes

  • Updated UKC breed-standard language
  • Clearer Pocket, Standard/Classic and XL style references
  • Greater use of Micro and Exotic marketing terms
  • More public discussion of structure and functional soundness

Health and breeding developments

  • More accessible canine DNA screening
  • Expanded reproductive veterinary services
  • Greater use of progesterone timing and shipped semen
  • Increased buyer expectations for contracts and verification

These changes do not erase the book’s value. They make it important to read the book as a foundation and compare medical, registry and breeding information with current authoritative resources.

Why This American Bully Book Still Matters

The American Bully has continued to evolve, and confusion around bloodlines, structure, size labels, health, pricing, show standards and breeding has grown with it.

The Bully Bible still matters because it brings those subjects together from a community-based perspective. It is not only about what an American Bully looks like. It is about how owners and breeders think through lineage, care, socialization, conditioning, breeding decisions and long-term kennel reputation.

Who Should Read The Bully Bible?

This book is best for readers who want a deeper understanding of the American Bully beyond short social posts, quick breed summaries and sales listings.

  • New American Bully owners who want to understand care, socialization, temperament and health awareness.
  • Pocket, Standard and XL Bully enthusiasts who want context on size, structure and community terminology.
  • Future breeders who need an introduction to stud service, progesterone timing, artificial insemination, pregnancy and kennel reputation.
  • Bloodline researchers studying Razors Edge, Gottiline, Remyline, Daxline, Muscletone and related history.
  • Handlers and mentors who need a shareable educational foundation for new owners.

It is not a replacement for a current breed standard, veterinary guidance, show mentorship or hands-on experience, but it remains a strong educational starting point.
