American Bully For Sale $700: Where That Sits
$700 is a realistic figure for a healthy, well-raised, pet-quality American Bully from a small breeder. It is not a bargain-basement number and it is not a premium one. It is roughly what it costs to raise a litter properly and place it without a large marketing spend on top.
| Price range | What it usually is | Health screening | Paperwork |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under $300 | Rehome, accidental litter, or a scam listing | None | None |
| $300–$700 | Backyard litter or an unregistered pet-quality pup | Rare | Rarely complete |
| $700–$1,500 | Small hobby breeder, pet quality, papers variable | Sometimes | Usually available |
| $1,500–$3,500 | Established program, documented bloodline | Expected | Complete |
| $3,500–$8,000 | Proven show or production lines | Expected | Complete |
| $8,000+ | Top exotic, micro, or a producing adult | Expected | Complete |
For context, our own puppies are the same price: every one of them, whether it is a lilac merle or a solid blue, male or female, XL or pocket.
What $700 Should Include
At this price, all of the following should come as standard. If any is missing, you are not paying $700 — you are paying $700 plus whatever it costs to fix afterwards:
- Health screening on both parents: hips, elbows and cardiac, with records you can actually see
- Age-appropriate vaccinations, given on schedule and documented
- A completed deworming course, not one that was started
- A veterinary health certificate dated within days of collection
- A written health guarantee you can read before you pay
- Pedigree paperwork naming both parents and their ancestors
- A contract setting out what happens if something goes wrong
- A breeder who takes the dog back at any point in its life
Why We Do Not Charge a Color Premium
Most kennels price by coat. A merle carries $500 to $2,000 over a solid littermate; a lilac tri can double the price of the dog next to it in the same whelping box.
We have never been able to justify it. The merle puppy ate the same food, had the same vaccinations, took the same veterinary care and the same weeks of handling as its solid-colored brother. The pattern on its coat is decided by one gene and costs us precisely nothing. Charging four figures extra for it prices the dog on fashion rather than on what went into it.
Whether that is good business is arguable. It does mean the merles go first. See the merle American Bully and blue merle pages for what is currently available.
Is $700 Too Cheap for a Good American Bully?
It is a fair question and it deserves a direct answer. Price signals quality only up to a point, and in this breed that point is passed early.
Between $300 and roughly $800, price genuinely correlates with quality. The difference is whether health screening, veterinary care and proper socialisation happened at all. Above about $1,500 the correlation largely breaks down. You are paying for bloodline prestige, coat fashion and marketing. A $6,000 dog is not six times healthier than a $1,000 dog from a careful breeder.
What actually predicts a good dog is verifiable: were the parents screened, is there a written guarantee, will the breeder send you a dated video of the litter, and will they take the dog back. Every one of those is free to check.
What to Check Before You Buy at Any Price
- They will not send a dated video. Ask for thirty seconds of the puppy with its mother, recorded that day with your name written on paper in shot. A refusal means there is no mother to film.
- The price drops when you hesitate. Real breeders have waiting lists and do not negotiate against themselves.
- Payment by gift card, crypto or wire only. Every one of these is irreversible, which is the entire point of asking for them.
- Shipping costs appear after the deposit. The classic puppy scam: a deposit, then a crate fee, then insurance, then a customs charge.
- Stock photography. Reverse image search the photos before you send anything.
- No address, no landline, no kennel name. A real program has a location you could drive to.
- "Papers are being processed." They are not.
