TL;DR: The Quick Breakdown
* Same Breed, Different Size: The XL Bully is not a separate breed. It is simply the largest class within the American Bully breed.
* Height is the Key: Standard Bullies stand 17-20 inches. XL Bullies stand 20-23 inches at the withers.
* UK Legal Status: XL Bullies face specific restrictions under the Dangerous Dogs Act (amended 2024). Standard, Classic, and Pocket Bullies are not affected.
* Ownership Demands: XLs need more space, more food, and a stronger, more experienced handler.
