Trav Malenke
My name is Trav Malenke. I’ve been breeding American Bully’s since 2006. I started with the OG blood ~ Razors Edge bloodline and incorporated Gotti line blood off of White Rhino within the first 5 years. I ran 5 generations of 50-50 standard Bulls consistently and respectfully of healthy Bulls.
I started breeding Pockets in 2015, and have had much success. I breed for type, health and temperament by incorporating top bloodlines from around the world, only using proven Bulls from respected programs.
In 2021 I met Richard De La Cruz and re-branded to Brand Name Bullies. Together we strive for the same consistency, by using well-bred dogs from Champions to Grand Champions. The future looks bright for Brand Name Bullies as we look to build upon our foundation to create the perfect American Bully that we envision for the show ring and to solidify our program as a top contender.

Richard De La Cruz
My name is Richard De La Cruz. I'm a Husband to a beautiful wife, a father to 3 amazing boys, and a USMC veteran. I started my journey with the American Bully in 2021 when I met Trav. Before then I had grown up with the American Pitbull Terrier and had never thought I could love another breed more than the APBT. That is until I came across the American Bully. The strength, structure, health, and temperament of the American Bully will leave you in awe.
Brand Name Bullies was created off the foundation set by Trav. Since then, we have continued to breed for health, temperament, and structure. We believe that consistency to the breed standard is important, and necessary for the betterment of the breed. We work hard to bring these very standards to our program, as well as quality companions to your home. We strive to be the best, and to provide the best for our program and your family.
