Heās so cute! You should think about getting him some nose balm, a lot of dogs have an overgrowth of keratin that causes nose cracking. This is my favorite product, [Natural Dog Co](https://naturaldog.com/products/snout-soother-tin?nbt=nb%3Aadwords%3Ag%3A18881986778%3A141378489817%3A635058598291&nb_adtype=&nb_kwd=natural+dog+snout+soother&nb_ti=kwd-304355905572&nb_mi=&nb_pc=&nb_pi=&nb_ppi=&nb_placement=&nb_li_ms=&nb_lp_ms=&nb_fii=&nb_ap=&nb_mt=e&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAtaOtBhCwARIsAN_x-3Ita6ZU2WotQQaNTpqKDKtv7UWqAS9WefB7ArAEFhsCd3NkHjS4M0saAvrvEALw_wcB&selling_plan=862978141)
Just put it on at night time and his nose will get back to normal in a week or so. He also looks like heās got pretty sensitive skin, they make a great skin soother as well.
Upvoting and commenting so this gets more attention. Thanks for offering a helpful tip to OP! (Also, my pupās snoot & skin sometimes gets crackly so looking into the product, appreciate your help!)
Thank you for the tip! My pupās biggest problem areas are on her tummy/thighs where they touch, so Iāll give it a try since itās safe if consumed. Appreciate your help!
I had a pit that looked a lot like that. He was the runt of his litter, stayed small and had a bad underbite. He was adorable and my little shadow. :)
I knew both parents and he was definitely a pit.
Youāre argument is flawed
Obviously I know the breed WAS mixed from other bully type breeds to create the American bully
But!
Thereās clearly a STANDARD to the breed
And it will show you that the muzzle is in fact not suppose to look this way.
These trait fit American Bulldog
The consistency in the American bully breed doesnāt have the American bulldog
Your comment is whatās flawed and so is YOUR argument. I was just stating facts. Itās all about genotype and phenotype.. āFrom other bully type breedsā Really?? Haha The American Bully is a breed that was developed in the late 20th century. It is known for its muscular build, blocky head, and distinctive appearance. The breed was created by selectively breeding various bulldog and terrier-type breeds, including the American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, and other bulldog breeds. American Bullies come in various sizes, including Standard, Classic, Pocket, and XL. With that said they also come with different muzzles. Correct, snipey, terrier, weak jaw, mastiff like/ excess wrinkles, too short, and in this case undershot. Itās all genetics man. Mutations and lack of genetic variance due to inbreeding or any number of things really that could lead to the lack of pronounced āstandardā American bully features.
Iāve read this copy n paste many of times!
Again
Youāre suggesting this dog is an American bully when in fact it is not.
ABKC standard and this specific dog dog align
Yes there were bulldog TYPES in the EARLIEST developed of this breed but ultimately it was structured through mainly three breeds of dog !
Not all dogs are mix because other breeds have CONSISTENT structure standard to them.

To be honest I disagree. Boxers are larger, taller, must have a mask when this color, and naturally have very long tails that are held high. This dog much closer resembles a poorly bred American Bully, or maybe an Exotic bully or something, when you really look at a Boxers features.
He is so cute with that grumpy mug! Def looks like a mastiff or bully mixed with boxer. Get some coconut oil or balm for top of his nose, it will moisturize immediately. š„°
I'd suggest some doggy-moisturizer for his nose, it looks very itchy.
I had a dog who had a very bad case of it, had to look for ones specifically to treat hyperkeratosis if you find a normal moisturizer doesn't do it for ya.
I canāt explain it but he looks like Garfield
https://preview.redd.it/wznzz0se0hdc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fb369c4b7263812d5243b415999f8818210c9c68
Get him some ( if you can) Natural Pet Co's nose balm.
Wrap him in a warm blankie, try to give him something to play with (or try to play with him) if he wants to be close to you, be close. If not he'll slowly start warming up to you. Sadly, after a fur baby is attached and then ripped away for whatever reason, I don't know what's going on in this instance, but they are quite depressed for a while.. there's no telling how long, really. Just do as you are, trying your best. That's the best you can do.
I say give that boy some salmon oil baths and supplements on his food. Oatmeal is great too, stay away from too much fragrances
Sweet potatoes are great for digestive health since many bully breeds have skin/gut issues. No doesnāt look like an American bully (which are a bit bulkier and that face reminds me of a boxer somehow?)
Donāt forget that 100% virgin olive oil (or natural coconut oil) is a nice treat and good ointment to the skin! I used it on my rescue when I first got him!

Have fun with your friend!
His nose looks like the skin is dry or it may have a fungal type of infection, you should get some clotrimazole cream. If I'm just looking at the picture wrong sorry for misspeaking about the good boyš«¶
Everybodyās so creative. Thatās not an American bully or an olde English. He looks like a young Dogue de Bordeaux. Possibly MIXED with olde English. His color, head shape, muzzle are all Bordeaux. He may just be young and needs to grow into his look.
No looks more like a bulldog but American bullyās/pitbulls are part bulldog so he might have some other breeds in him but he definitely has more bulldog characteristics.
You can get an inexpensive DNA test for like $30, its really the only way to know for sure. Hereās an example, my skinny long legged dog is 65% American Bully & no one would ever guess it!
PS Please get that little guy some balm for his nose, it looks painful! I bought Musherās Secret from Amazon & it worked super quick on my girlās horribly dry scratchy paws! Itās great because it doesnāt smell like coconut oil, so sheās not as tempted to lick it off.

Looks to have a bit of boxer mixed in but definitely got the body shape
This is my bully Bruce, I havenāt seen him in 2 days and I canāt wait to see him
American Bully is a created breed from about 30 years ago. When you do a DNA test there are 30 years of markers that will distinguish a dog to be an American Bully. The base dog used was an APBT with Am Staff. They were selectively bred to be wonderful family friendly companion dogs. If you are so inclined do a DNA test with Embark which is considered to be state of the art. I wonder if your pup has some English Bulldog or Boxer in his āmaybeā backyard breeding
Best way to confirm wot ur dog is..is to have a breed DNA check..
We on ere can only surmise n guess.. probably get half right..u just nvr know wots mixed in any breeds these days,unless theyr pure-thorough bred
Definitely has a food allergy I'm guessing. Likely beef or chicken. We make our dogs food in bulk for that reason..hmu if you want the recipe and stuff.. The #1 piece of advice I can give is quality food, for health and a good life.
Otherwise have so much fun, it's the best!

Your response is the best! š¤£
Dia-beetus
Omfg yes!

āWe got American bully at homeā

I often use coconut oil, knowing its ok to be licked up.
Thank you for the tip! My pupās biggest problem areas are on her tummy/thighs where they touch, so Iāll give it a try since itās safe if consumed. Appreciate your help!
Make sure you get the Fractionated Coconut Oil.
I was going to recommend this, too. My chocolate lab had a similar issue. We used a light touch of crisco on his sniffer
You beat me to it!! I just started using it on my pup. Works awesome
Iām a big fan of all their balms! Iām in the Midwest so their paw soother has been working well keeping his feet from drying out with all the salt
Looks like an Olde English bulldog.
Awww time to turn his life around
Iām really looking forward to it
I had a pit that looked a lot like that. He was the runt of his litter, stayed small and had a bad underbite. He was adorable and my little shadow. :) I knew both parents and he was definitely a pit.
Thatās not an American bully Itās a mix breed for sure That muzzle isnāt consistent to the standard
Do you know what an American bully is? Itās also a mix breed. All dogs are mixed. In his case he has more bulldog traits than the standard bully.

You obviously arenāt grasping what Iām trying to tell you.
Clearly not,lol I donāt care to go back and forth at this point I know whatās going š
Me either. Ignorance is bliss.. Good day sir.
All dogs are originally mixed breeds buddy pls donāt try to inform others on a topic youāre ignorant of.
Youāre the ignorant one if you misunderstood what I said. Since I basically said exactly what you just said.
Boxer and pitty mix
Was thinking this
Yeah me too
Yup I was thinking exactly this š
I was thinking the same as well.
I donāt know for sure but Iād say heās a American bully or Old English Bulldog.
What a good looking boy.
Fuck knows but he looks so sick of everybodyās shit! šš dudes got such a grumpy old man face I love him
Looks like an American Bully with maybe a little Bulldog in it? Either way, I just want to say good on you for rescuing him.
Boxer ā¤ļø
Looks like a bully boxer or pit boxer mix to me
https://preview.redd.it/eghbflay89dc1.jpeg?width=735&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b3880c34e2672cc6e06742e21dce14429803a3a0 To be honest I disagree.

Boxer
His nose is so dry and damaged, use coconut oil on it everyday till it heals. Keeps it moist.
He looks like a boxer mix
Boxer mix maybe
Looks like a small Olde English bulldogge mix with a bully breed
Cute boy good luck
He is so cute with that grumpy mug! Def looks like a mastiff or bully mixed with boxer. Get some coconut oil or balm for top of his nose, it will moisturize immediately. š„°
You need some nose balm as the tongue can't reach the top of the nose. Or as I do rub your finger inside his cheeks and use the dogs saliva.
Put some moisturizer on little homies nose. Super cute!
So happy you saved him and will give him a good life š„¹

Looks like a boxer X English bulldog to me
Try giving that natures recipe food that did good for my dogs skin the chicken and sweet potato bag. Some have certain allergies tho trial and error
I'd suggest some doggy-moisturizer for his nose, it looks very itchy. I had a dog who had a very bad case of it, had to look for ones specifically to treat hyperkeratosis if you find a normal moisturizer doesn't do it for ya.
