ABKC classes: Determine what class your bully belongs in

In this video, we break down the different classes within the American Bully Kennel Club (ABKC) to help you easily determine where your dog fits in. Whether you're new to the world of American Bullies or looking to compete in conformation shows, understanding the class structure is essential.

The ABKC categorizes dogs into several classes based on age and size. Here’s a quick overview:

Pre-Novice (3-6 months): A starting point for the youngest competitors, although no points are awarded in this class.
Novice Puppy (6-9 months)
Puppy (9-12 months)
Junior (1-2 years): At this stage, dogs are further categorized into varieties.
Adult (2-3 years)
Senior (3 years and up)
The varieties within these classes are:

Pocket: The smallest of the Bully breeds, with a compact build.
Standard: The classic American Bully, balanced and well-proportioned.
XL: A larger and more powerful version of the Standard.
Classic: Similar to the Standard but with a lighter frame and less muscle mass.
Understanding these classes and varieties is crucial when entering your dog into competitions. Not only do they determine who your dog will compete against, but they also guide the standards by which your dog will be judged.

If you're aiming for championship titles, it's important to know the points and major wins required for each class. For example, a total of 150 points and three major wins are necessary to earn an ABKC Show Championship title.
