About Us

A sanctuary for the American Bully legacy

American Bully Haven Pups is a small, family-run American Bully breeding program based in Austin, Texas, offering health-tested American Bully puppies for adoption to approved families. We were founded on a single belief: that the American Bully, bred with intention and raised with love, is one of the most gentle, devoted companions a family can welcome.

We began not as a business, but as a family captivated by a breed that too few people truly understood. Behind the muscular frame is a soul of remarkable softness — a dog that wants nothing more than to rest its head on your knee and belong.

Over the years we have built our program around three quiet commitments: health, temperament, and transparency. We health-test every parent. We raise every puppy in our home. And we document every bloodline, so that the family who welcomes one of our dogs knows exactly where they came from.

We place a small, deliberate number of puppies each year. Because the right match matters more than the number of matches, and a lifetime of companionship begins with a single, honest conversation.

Breeding Standards & Ethics

A program built on protocol, not chance

Ethical breeding is a discipline of consistent decisions. These are the standards that govern every pairing, every litter, and every placement we make.

Health Screening Protocol

Every breeding dog completes OFA evaluation of hips and elbows, a board-certified cardiac echocardiogram, and a verified DNA profile before entering our program. No dog is bred before clearing every screen.

Temperament Evaluation

Parents are assessed for stability, confidence, and sociability over time. We will not breed a dog whose temperament does not reflect the gentle, family-oriented standard the breed was created to be.

In-Home Rearing

Puppies are born and raised inside our home — not in a kennel or commercial facility. They are handled daily and gently exposed to household sounds, routines, children, and other pets.

Genetic Diversity

Pairings are planned with COI (coefficient of inbreeding) in mind, drawing on documented five-generation pedigrees to preserve structural soundness and long-term breed health.

Considered Placement

We match puppies to families through conversation and application — never on a first-come, first-served basis. The right home always takes priority over the fastest offer.

Lifetime Support

Our commitment does not end at placement. We remain available for guidance, resources, and rehoming assistance for the entire life of every dog we produce.

Health & Pedigree

Certified, tested, documented

Every parent in our program is health-screened and fully registered. We share these records openly because trust is built on proof, not promises.
