The forelegs of the American Bully are muscular and strong, slightly turned towards the forearms. The humerus bones are laid back, connected to the wide and long shoulder blades at an angle of 35-45 °. The elbows are close to the ribcage, but a small gap is still acceptable. The pasterns are flexible and powerful, set at a slight angle to the surface. Feet are round and arched, in proportion to the overall size of the dog. Removing dewclaws is desirable, but not required.
