I'm MaryBeth P., the breeder behind Blue Moon Bullies located in Elsberry, MO. We are striving to better the breed, not to just add to it,we breed for health, conformation, and versatility. We want dogs that fit the standard and are able to be happy healthy active members of the family laying on the couch, in the woods or being shown in the ring.
Q. & A. with MaryBeth
Why did you start breeding?
I met and fell in love with an American bully about 10 years ago and started looking into the breed and seen there were so few breeders who health tested and I wanted to change that.
If you google "American Bully" you get such a wide range of looks. I'm hoping to breed to the standard and have a more uniform look.
What makes your program special?
My dogs are pets first. They are bred to meet the standard. They are health tested, well-loved and cared for members of the family. I want new owners to know exactly what they are getting and it is not a guess of what the dog will be like, how the health will be, etc. I put my heart and soul into my dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Breeder-Reported Testing
Great level
Blue Moon Bullies reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for American Bullies.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Full Embark Panel
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
