What is the difference between bully and gotti pitbull?

Size ,color and weight.THEY ARE NOT PITBULLS. Gotti, Razors Edge, Gaff and Grayline are American Bullies bred off the original pit bull. Meaning they are pitbull mixes. Commonly mixed with neo mastiff ,mastiff,bulldog and American bulldog.****Contrary to what the above answer says....They ARE pitbulls. The UKC recognizes the breed as stated on it's website:Gotti, Razors Edge, etc. are just specific breeders trying to breed a dog to fit the breed standard. Some backyard breeders do mix mastiffs, etc. to get specific traits such as wider shoulders, mass, etc.BTW, American Staffordshire Terriers are in fact, originally bred from the pitbull breed created in England.The AKC only recognizes AmStaffs, not pitbulls.-------The second answer regarding whether they are or aren't "pit bulls" is somewhat incorrect. The user stated "The UKC recognizes the breed as stated on it's website" which is correct, the UKC does recognize American Pit Bull Terriers. However, if you actually take the time to read the standard, it penalizes things like oversize heads, short legs, excessive bones (i.e. "big bones"), muzzles that are too short, short thick necks... all of which are characteristics of Gotti/Razor Edge "pit bulls."Anyways, they are not pitbulls, they are bullies.
