The Staffordshire Bull Terrier was first bred in Staffordshire,
England, using Bulldog's (not today's ones) and local Terrier's.
The American Pit Bull Terrier and American Staffordshire Terrier
were bred using English Staffordshire's by increasing their size
and weight. Therefore, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier was the main
breed used in the development of the Pit Bull - not the other way
around.
