We are different than most kennels in the fact that we do not use a traditional kennel set up. Our dogs sleep in beds and are a part of our family. They’re not kept locked up in kennels all day. We pride ourselves in producing dogs that have “wow” factor along with great temperament and athleticism despite the heavy muscle/bone they carry.
Venomline dogs are DNA & Health Tested, pups come with a health certificate, ABKC registration paperwork, shots & de-worming as well as a health guarantee covering any genetic related issues. We ship semen (Stud Service) worldwide.

What separates Venomline from many other breeders is thefemalesused in their breeding program. Any breeder can use a top Stud, but Venomline knows that it takes both a Top level Stud and a Top Level bitch to produce top quality litters on a consistent basis.
Females are integral to the success of any breeding program. Without using top quality female to match a Top Stud, litters will more than likely end up being a watered down version of what was initially hoped for. Knowing this, Venomline’s focus for the past 7 years has been primarily on producing the best possible Pocket Females to match theirTop Tier Studs. Foundation Females that are linebred to produce.
The American Bullybecame one of the fastest growing new breeds in 2014 and has remained in the Top 5 each year since. In 2018, the American Bully was the fastest growing dog breed in terms of popularity and hasn’t shown signs of slowing down since. The breed is on track to finish 2019 in similar fashion. So why are so many falling in love with this breed?
Even with the American Bully breed’s explosive growth and expansion into new countries and territories, there is still confusion about the breed accompanied by many misconceptions. Inaccurate information online made worse by ill informed media have furthered misunderstanding regarding the breed. There are some who still confuse the American Bully breed with it’s cousin the American Pit Bull Terrier, but both are distinct and separate breeds each recognized by several respected registries as such.
Starting late 2019 and into 2020 BULLY KING Magazine will be Featuring many of the Top American Bully Breeders, Kennels and Bloodlines. We will cover a significant number of the top kennels, breeders, studs, best females and more in each significant classification of the breed (Pocket, Standard, Classic and XL) We will also cover a considerable amount of the smaller and unofficial classes (Micro, Exotic, Extreme)
For those new to the American Bully breed, who might go cross eyed trying to decipher what any of those terms mean… we will separate each class in a simple way that is easy to comprehend. The first American Bully Kennel we are highlighting is Venomline- A top Pocket Bully Kennel out of South Florida.
For individuals who might be new to the breed and still learning, we will lay out the various Classes in the American Bully breed as per the establishing registry The American Bully Kennel Club, otherwise called the ABKC, and we will include Breed Standards from the United Kennel Club, orUKC as well.
AMERICAN BULLY CLASSES: AMERICAN BULLY KENNEL CLUB (ABKC)
The American Bully breed became one of the quickest developing new breeds originally in 2014 and it has remained in the Top 5 every year since. In 2018, the American Bully was the fastest growing new breed and hasn't given any indications of slowing down since. The breed is on track to complete 2019 in similar fashion. So why are so many people, all over the world falling in love with the American Bully breed?
Even with it's explosive growth and expansion into new countries and territories, there is still much confusion about the breed, it's make up, personality and temperament accompanied by many misconceptions.
Inaccurate data online made worse by poorly educated media reports have facilitated further misconceptions in regards to the breed. There are some who still confuse the American Bully breed with it's cousin the American Pit Bull Terrier. But both are distinct and separate breeds each recognized by several respected registries as such.
The American Bully is a companion breed exhibiting confidence, a zest for life, sense of humor, and fun personalities accompanied with an exuberant will to please both their owners and families. This makes the American Bully an excellent family companion.
Despite the American Bully’s fierce and powerful appearance their demeanor is gentle and the breed is notorious for being great with kids. They are friendly with strangers, other dogs, and even other animals. Human or dog aggression, extreme shyness or viciousness is uncharacteristic of the American Bully and is highly undesirable.
BREED STANDARD (ORIGINAL)
ABKC Breed Standard (Original)
It is important to note the ABKC got rid of the extreme class. So there are currently 4 Classes
ABKC AMERICAN CLASSES 2014-PRESENT
POCKET
This is an amendment to the basic standard which a Pocket Bully is determined by its adult height.
Males under 17″ and no less than 14″ at the withers. Females under 16″ and no less than 13″ at the withers.
STANDARD
The American Bully should give the impression of great strength for it’s size. It is a compact and medium/large size dog with a muscular body and blocky head. The American Bully should have the appearance of heavy bone structure with a bulky build and look.
Males 17 inches — 20 inches (43 cm — 51 cm) at the withers. Females 16 inches — 19 inches (40 cm — 48 cm) at the withers.
CLASSIC
This is an amendment to the basic standard. A Classic Bully is determined by it’s body structure and build. Both sex dogs with lighter body frames and less overall body mass, but still exibiting “bully” traits.
Classic Bully variety is simply an American Bully dog having lighter body frames (lighter bone) and less overall body mass (less substance) than the Standard American Bully. Aside from this difference, the Classic Bully variety follows the same standard as the Standard American Bully.
XL BULLY
This is an amendment to the basic standard, determined by it’s adult height. It is important to note that the XL Bully variety is simply taller than the Standard American Bully. XL dogs share the same build, body type and breed type as the Standard American Bully.
Males over 20″-23″ at the withers. Females over 19″-22″ at the withers.
VENOMLINE
HOME OF THE EXTREME BUILD POCKET AMERICAN BULLY
Initially from Houston, Texas, Venomline (formerly Texas Size Bullies) is now located in sunny South Florida.
Venomline canines have been highlighted in Rolling Stone Magazine, BULLY KING Magazine, Bully Girl Magazine, in Music Videos and on TV (NBC, Barcroft Animals)
Venomline is known for producing some of the thickest dogs in the world, without sacrificing conformation or health.

Venomline prides themselves in producing dogs with “wow” factor along with an excellent temperament. Unlike many of the "extreme" type American Bullies today, Venomline dogs display impressive athleticism despite the heavy muscle/bone they carry. Their belief that a dog that cannot run, jump or be active isn't a dog, it's a toy.
Venomline dogs are both DNA & Health Tested, all puppies come with health certificates from a licensed veterinarian, ABKC registration paperwork at a minimum, as well as being up to date on all shots & de-worming. In addition to this, Venomline provides a health guarantee for their customers that covers any genetic issues.
Venomline Studs are some of the most sought after Studs in the world. The demand for offspring off of Venomline Studs adds to the value of their Stud Service and helps their cutomers focus on the litter, not worrying about sales. This is just one of the many reasons, top breeding programs and new breeders alike choose Venomline Studs. The pocket bully breeder ships semen (Stud Service) worldwide.

VENOMLINE | TOP POCKET AMERICAN BULLIES | PRODUCED OFFSPRING
Venomline is known for Producing some of the Top Pocket American Bullies. Here are some of our recent in house and out of house productions over the past year.
One of the Top Producing Studs in the World: Louis V son- Venom, is going head to head with one of Grand Champion Chumper’s best daughters, and one of the bulliest females in the World, Swizz.
This is Swizz’s 1st litter, and the crazy part is Swizz was only 10 months old in the photos below, and only 15 months old in the video below. Now at a year and a half old, this is a 75lb female on a Pocket frame, with a 24" head.
That just doesn’t happen on a female. It definitely doesn’t happen on a Pocket female, and I can honestly say that I’ve personally never seen it on a Pocket Female that’s clean enough to win in the Show Ring.
Swizz got the majority of her points toward ABKC Champion in her 1st outing and 2 Majors
This girl is on another level entirely, she’d out stack about 95% of the Studs out right now.. if we could find any willing to stack next to her.

VENOM & OMEGA: THE HALF BROTHERS MEET FOR THE 1ST TIME
Venom & Omega (both Louis V Sons) & former BULLY KING Magazine Mascots got to meet for the 1st time in South Florida when Omega joined Venomline as part of it’s South Branch, Venomline South.
The duo instantly hit it off, had serious room for activities, did karate in the garage and became BFF’s.
“Look Mister, there are some rules that you've got to follow: First of all, keep him out of the light, he hates bright light, especially sunlight. Second, don't give him any water, not even to drink.]
But the most important rule, the rule you can never forget.. no matter how much he cries, no matter how much he begs.. never feed him after midnight.” He will multiply.
For those of you reading this too young to get that reference, do yourself a favor and watch Gremlins the 80's Classic. We didn't have the special effects that you're used to, but the movies were better.
Venom has proven again just how consistent a Stud he is, producing yet another exact replica in his son Mini Chunk. It's scary how similar these guys are. Anyways, here's some pics from the father/son duo's day at the park. They had a blast together and finished the afternoon with a nap together on the couch.
WHAT DO YOU FEED YOUR DOGS TO GET THEM SO MUSCULAR?
We get a ton of emails & messages on the various social media sites asking questions like "what do you feed your dogs?" and "what type of workouts do you take them through?" are you strapping weights on them or what are you doing to bulk them up?"
So we thought it would be a good opportunity to walk anyone interested in learning more, exactly what we do during our workouts.
First to clarify: No amount of training, workouts or supplements are going to give your dog a "bullier" build if that build is not in the dog's genetics.
The best way to determine the build of your American Bully is to look at the parents. A lot of people will tell you to look at the pedigree, and while this is important, a dog can have several "big name" dogs in it's pedigree.. but if the parents don't carry the traits, the pedigree is almost useless.
There are a ton of 5X Dax or Miagi dogs that look nothing like Dax or Miagi. It doesn't matter how good the pedigree looks on paper, look at the two dogs in front of you.
We will cover genetics, differences between phenotype & genotype and what it all means in detail in a future article.
WORKOUTS/TRAINING
When we say "working out" or "training" our dogs: we aren't doing this to bulk them up or to add additional muscle. This is done for the health of our dogs. We want to keep them fit and athletic, more often than not it's done for the opposite.. to keep weight off our dogs.
We don't want any of our bullies getting overweight, and everything that comes with an overweight or obese dogs. “It’s not only the fact that obese pets face a shorter life expectancy, but it’s the quality of the life they’re leading in the first place.”
A few of the major health issues that obese dogs have to deal with include osteoarthritis, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart and respiratory disease, kidney disease, cancer, and more.
EXERCISE & HEALTH
Benefits of cardio exercises for your dog
There are many benefits of cardio training your dog including:
Weight loss/management due to calorie burn
Stronger heart and lungs for improved and more efficient circulation and respiration
Increased bone density which can protect against breakage during activity and aging
Increased number of red blood cells in the body, facilitating transport of oxygen
Improved behavior as intense activity can lead to a ‘runners high’ for your dog
Longer life as a byproduct of increased fitness and weight management
COMMAND TRAINING
When training your dog, it's important to spend time teaching your dog certain actions, or commands. There are several basic dog training commands that every dog should know.
These cues can help you to keep your dog under control and give your dog a sense of structure and order. They can also help you manage a variety of common behavior problems. In some cases, a well-placed command word may even save your dog's life.
Basic command training not only gives your dog a sense of structure and order, but it will also deepen the bond between you both.
This breed is eager to please, and they are also curious and intelligent. Training them to use this intelligence through learning different commands will not only give you a happier, more well-rounded dog, but also one that is less likely to cause mischief around the house because of being bored.
Basic commands to start with include: Sit, Stay, Wait, Come, Drop it, and Lie Down. Reward them with a treat when they do well. Your dog will learn much quicker and enjoy training when it's fun for them and they receive a reward rather than discipline.
PLAY
Aside from overall health and improving the quality & longevity of life for your bully, command training which gives the dog a mental workout, play is the most important things for a happy and healthy dog.
This breed is filled with some incredible and unique personalities.. let them come out. No dog should be kept locked up in a kennel, or locked up in the house all day. Let them be dogs and have fun.
They'll work off some of that excess energy, and you'll begin to have a better behaved and much less destructive dog around the house. If you were locked away all day and bored out of your mind, you'd tear up some shit too. I know I would.
Personally, Taste of The Wild Grain Free is our favorite. There may be food options that you prefer, and if it works for your dogs great. As we mentioned earlier every dog is different, and you should feed what gives your dog the best results.
It’s the yellow bag. You can order from Amazon & have it delivered which is a lot better than having to haul several bags out to the car and then unloading when you get home if you have several dogs.
Hypoallergenic Foods For Sensitive Stomachs
If your dog has severe allergies (bumbs on skin, eye mucous, constantly itching face, scratching at tail) The #1 Veterinary Rated Food is Acana (I like the Lamb & Apple)
There are many other great brands as well as unbiased reviews and a complete ingredient analysis on the Dog Food Advisor’s Website.
SUPPLEMENTS
We see a lot of breeders using every supplement on the market, adding a ton of calories (and fat) into their dog's diets in an attempt to add weight to give their dogs or Stud a "bullier" look.
There is a big difference between the bone & mass that is desired in the breed and fat, or an overweight dog. The most important and often overlooked downside to a lot of these weight gainers, and mass supplements are the effects these can have on your dog's health.
If your dog carries the genetics for this desired build, there is no need for additional supplementation. Later in this article we cover food & supplements that we actually use and have had good results with.
SUPPLEMENTS WE ACTUALLY USE
Overall Health, Coat, Nails
Having a lot of dogs will give you the opportunity to meet several vets. We’ve had the pleasure (and displeasure) of meeting several of the top vets, Dietitians and specialists over the years in multiple states. Most have different opinions and recommendations, we’ve tried several (if not all) of the most popular supplements.
This highly palatable, super concentrated powder provides added protein, essential amino and fatty acids, all vitamins and minerals, plus over 30 unique nutrients that improve the overall wellness in dogs of all ages. ProBalance helps increase activity, maintain optimum condition, recover from injury or surgery, and has been shown to push back the normal age-related diseases.
Out of all of the ones we have used, this has given us the best results with our dogs.
It’s also great for pregnant females. When litters arrive, females who have been supplemented with this product have noticeably bigger and more developed puppies.
We use this supplement on all of our dogs. I swear by this stuff. Before two weeks I noticed a huge difference in our dogs coats, nails, stool and an increase in their energy levels. This stuff is great, and provides a balanced nutrition to your dog without over doing it on any of the ingredients. It is sold out most places online, but you can get it here.
We are not a paid affiliate, and will not receive any benefit if you buy this product. It just really works.
Multi Vitamins
A multi purpose vitamin is sometimes recommended after 9 months of age. But when it comes to vitamins & supplements remember more is not always better!
These chicken flavored soft chews are specially formulated to promote healthy joints, improve mobility, and ease discomfort from hip dysplasia and painful arthritis.
They’re loaded with essential vitamins like C and E, minerals, essential enzymes and powerful active ingredients including glucosamine, chondroitin with MSM, hyaluronic acid, energy-supporting co-enzyme Q10, yucca schidigera, plus salmon and cod oil for a healthy skin and coat.
The formula is independent lab tested for safety and efficacy, and is proudly made in the USA with no unnecessary additives or palm oil.
You do not need to over do it on the supplements. If your dog has the genetic make up to have a “bullier” build it will mature into that, if it doesn’t all the supplements and training in the world aren’t going to add on the muscle mass you desire.
Salmon Oil
DHA is one of a few supplements we add to our dogs’ diets on a daily basis. Salmon oil is a great source of DHA if it’s the right salmon oil.
Why Is Salmon Oil Good For Dogs
Salmon oil is very high in both EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), which are omega-3 fatty acids.
Benefits
EPA and DHA are helpful for your dog because if you have insufficient amounts of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, you can develop deficiency based diseases, including:
Gout, Allergies, Poor immune system, Eczema, Poor coat: cracked hairs, Increased shedding, Poor wound healing, Poor growth, Poor renal function, Liver disorders, Dermatitis and other health problems.
Proven benefits from EPA and DHA include:
Improves the coat and skin, making it soft and shiny.
Reducing inflammation that can lead to conditions such as arthritis.
Helps to prevent skin allergies.
Helps with Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
Regulates the immune system.
Calming overactive immune systems for dogs with allergies or autoimmune diseases.
Aiding in mental development of fetuses and puppies.
Improves cognitive function in older dogs.
Lowers blood pressure and triglycerides.
Provides support for dogs with kidney disease.
Fights heart disease.
Is preventative against cancer.
Helps promote weight loss in overweight dogs.
Helps in producing more collagen.
Useful in the treatment of kidney problems (frequent urination, loss of appetite)
The appearance of joint problems is lessened.
Can help to slow cancer cell growth.
Helps cachexic (the muscle wasting associated with some cancers)

Weight Gain/Adding Mass
Adding Mass Before A Show or For Use On a Dog That is Underweight
Satin balls are a great way to quickly add on weight for an underweight dog, or for an upcoming show or event in cases where your Stud has lost weight due to breeding, being around females in heat (many are not interested in food when that’s present) or losing weight due to other reasons.
Again this isn’t going to make your dog look like the dog to the left (only genetics will do that) but it can help in the situations mentioned.
“Satin Balls” are a total canine diet. But be careful, it will put weight on a dog fast, if you feed enough. It can be feed by itself, but because it is so rich and high in calories, I only feed as a supplement.
So, if you have a sick dog needing to be built up or an underweight dog dog with little or no appetite, they may do very well on “Satin Balls” as a supplement.
Don’t mix or hide Satin Balls in with kibble. your dog will make a mess trying to get to the Satin Balls. It is perfectly fine to freeze Satin Balls in pre-formed and weighed portions.
When mixing the ingredients, it is a gooey mess. There are many sites with recipes for “Satin Balls”, but I chose the following, because it breaks the recipe down into various sizes.
SATIN BALLS RECIPE:
10 lbs cheap hamburger (high fat %)
1 large box Total cereal (about 12 cups cereal)
1 large box uncooked oatmeal (about 15 cups oats)
10 raw eggs
1 15oz jar wheat germ
10 packages Knox unflavored gelatin
1 and 1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 and 1/4 cup unsulfured molasses
Pinch of salt
If your dog has a sensitive stomach, food allergies, or reacts poorly to raw food it is ok to cook
“Whole Wheat Total” cereal (blue box) comes in large 1 lb 2 oz size (about 12 cups settled) and a smaller 12 oz size (about 8 cups cereal), which would work in Little Dog or Half Recipe. But in the long run, the large size is more economical. Don’t get Raisin Total or Lo Carb. Total.
Uncooked Oatmeal like “Quaker Old Fashioned Oats” and less expensive supermarket house brand, come in large 2 lb 10oz size (15 cups oats) or smaller 18 oz size (about 7 cups oats).
15oz jar of wheat germ is about 4 cups. Some stores only carry a 12oz jar of wheat germ, which contains about 3 and 1/4 cups of it.
Vegetable oil/coconut oil-but use a good one. I use olive oil.
SHOW TRAINING
An important piece of the puzzle is the relationship between dog and handler. In order for the dog to enjoy what he is doing and feel comfortable and relaxed in the ring, he needs to have a strong connection with the handler, whether the it's his breeder, owner, or a professional handler.
Positive reinforcement training can help strengthen this bond. Again, training methods that focus on positive reinforcement, rather than physical punishment, allow the dog to trust and feel safe with his handler. In turn, this allows the dog to relax and enjoy strutting his/her stuff in the ring.
PREPARING YOUR DOG FOR SHOWS
There are three core behaviors that a show dog must learn to do well. He must be able to “gait,” “stack,” and be examined.
GAIT
Gaiting means moving at the proper speed and in the proper position without pulling on the lead, so that the judge can evaluate how the dog moves.
STACKING
Stacking means he must be able to stand still on the ground (if he is a small dog, he must also learn to stand still on a table), so the judge can observe the dog and form an opinion as to how the dog appears when standing still.
EXAMINATION
Finally, a show dog must be able to stand still and remain calm while a judge examines him. The judge must actually put his or her hands on the dog to determine the overall structure of the dog.
CONCLUSION
