Physically, the most obvious differences between American Pit Bull Terriers and American Bulldogs relate to size and color. American Pit Bull Terriers (APBT) are smaller in size in relation to the American Bulldog. This size difference relates to the bloodlines of APBTs, which are the Olde English Bulldog and the Staffordshire Terrier. The American Bulldog does not belong to the terrier family and is classified in the Mastiff family. APBTs weigh typically between 35 and 55 lbs, while American Bulldogs weigh between 70 and 120 lbs. In regards to color differences, American Bulldogs do not come in blue or brindle- typical APBT traits, but rather brown or white. Also, in some cases American Bulldogs have mismatched eye colors. APBTs do not have the same facial structure of American Bulldogs. Typically, APBTs have a longer snout with less wrinkles and American Bulldogs can have very droopy faces and are typically "thicker" in muscle and bone structure. The American Bulldog was bred as a working dog and as a desired "happy medium" between work and play, giving it its large size and thick frame. APBTs were bred more for fighting and farm work.

The differences between these two breeds go even more in depth than that, but size and color are the most obvious. I owned an APBT and currently own an American Bulldog and I would not know where to begin when listing their differences. Similarities- they are both amazing companions.

If you are talking about looks, the bullies are shorter and stocky or biger and wider. If you are taking about performance, pitbull were bred for stamina, courage and a stable temperament. Bullies were bred for looks.

Are you talking about American Bulldogs and APBT or 'American Bullies' and APBT?

American Bulldogs: 22+inches, tall, muscular, larger ears (not cropped), 95-135lbs, white, brindle, part color. Long legs, more mastiff resemblance.

APBT: 18-21'', compact, light, smaller, agile, smaller ears (when not cropped), 30-65lbs. All colors, except merle or albino.

American Bullies: 14''-22'', low to the ground, heavy walk, weak pasterns, smaller ears, 75-140lbs, all colors, even merle or albino.

There are two types of American Bulldog, which people do tend to forget! First you have the Johnson and then you have the Scott.

The Scott types often resemble a large, leggy Pit Bull.

The Johnson is generally a larger, heavier dog with a shorter muzzle.

  1. They look completely different!
  2. They both are very misunderstood- thought to be dangerous, aggressive dogs, but if you've ever heard of a "mean" bulldog or pitbull, its because the owner did a bad job. There's no such thing as a bad dog, only a bad owner.

Also, there's no such thing as a "Pit Bulldog" it is a "American Pit Bull" or a "Pit Bull."

Pit Bulls tend to be taller and weigh more than bulldogs. Pit Bulls tend to be more aggressive than bulldogs. However, Bulldogs are considered to be brachycephalic where else Pit Bulls are not. Their history is also different: pit bulls were used originally in the sport of dog fighting; bulldogs were used to bait bulls.

What is the difference between a pitbull and a pitbull terrier?

theres a little difference. , pit bull, pit bull terrier, staffordshire terrier, and sometimes bull terrier. the staffordshire terrier is English bred. There is no difference. "Pit Bull" is just a shortened name for the American Pit Bull Terrier. All "pit bulls" are terriers. Just depends on if you want to use the full name. Your question is similar to asking what the difference is between a Rottie and a Rottweiler No, stafordshire and bull terrier are different from a pitbull, they are all cousin, and come from the mastuffs, however, They are different breeds, stafforshires are from American, we copied England of The Stafforshre BULL terrier (Which that plus pit makes a bully) And Bull terriers are also from England, te English bull terrier, they are what you have seen on Next Friday (Chico) the movie, But they have the egg shaped head, they are cute but Ugly at the same time. search the breeds up in Google images. and actually people use the term pitbull to describe a few breeds of dogs all sharing similar caristeristics (sp ?) ie; American pitbull terrier, American stafordshire terrier, stafordshire bull terrier. sometimes even cane corsos. so a pitbull could be a number of dogs but a pitbull terrier is probably reffering to an American pitbull terrier. its sometimes hard to tell any of the breeds apart. look up on youtube : the real pitbull terrier and that will tell you the difference between the American bully and the American Pitb ull terrier
