Mya is gorgeous! I was just curious about her breed... In Canada we don't recognize the APBT as a breed, but we recognize the Am.Staff, so I was reading some of the American Bully sites and started to wonder if the title is just a way around BSL? A few sites said the breed developed within the past 15 years as a cross between the APBT and Am.Staff, forgive my ignorance but I was under the impression that they are essentially the same breed?
A CKC website said this about the difference: The term "Pit Bull" is often used to refer to several different breeds of dogs. The most common are the American Staffordshire Terrier, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier and the American Pit Bull Terrier. Some believe that these breeds of dogs all originally came from the same pit fighting stock over 100 years ago but have been bred to differing standards and are now known as distinct and separate breeds. Others believe that these dogs are simply different strains of the same breed.
Similar to having two "types" of American Bulldogs.
Just looking for some info ;)
KatysTank:
People get American Bullies confused with APBT a lot. American Bullies and APBT are two total different breeds. From what I understand, American Bullies were made to make a calmer, more laid back dog and were bred from crossing mastiffs,American Bulldogs and American Staffordshire Bull Terriers. It also depends on what lines they come from. Example: Dela Cruz and Razors edge are American Bully lines.
Here is more information about American Bullies:

So this is what I got out of it and a few other websites, correct me if I missed the boat... The American Bully is a line-bred APBT, chosen for type, so not a different dog, just a name for the "type/appearance" of the dog. Razorsedge in particular, doesn't mention anything of adding different breeds to the line, just selecting for type.
I'm a fan in general of the Am.staffs, American Bulldogs, Bullmastiffs ;D... Mya is the first American Bully I've ever heard of, so I had to get some info ;)
Does Caesar Milan refer to Big Daddy as an American Bully? It seems he would fit the bill.
KatysTank:
American Bullies are built more stockier and weigh more.
APBT are lean and muscular.
APBT are game pits, Staffies are show pits and American Bullies were bred for looks. American Bullies are a newer breed and I have only been around for a few years.
It is still confusing to me! lol but, no, APBT and American Bullies are not the same breed.
A great forum to join to learn about the difference and other questions you may have is http://www.pitbullforum.com/index.php.
I joined that forum and I had no idea what a American Bully was and I was only familiar with American Pit Bull Terriers and Staffies. I learned all about the difference between the three and other stuff. It is a very good forum if you want to learn about APBT. :D
I hope that helps!
