There classified by the stafforshire bull terrier which another name for it is pit bull
no. Boston terrier are not pit bulls.
I can only think of 4 the American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Staffordshire Terrier, and the American Pit Bull Terrier.
The dog wasn't a PIT Bull Terrier, he was a Bull Terrier. Pit Bulls and Bull Terriers are two completely different breeds of dogs. The Bull Terrier in the story was named Bodger.
I found this question in the dog training, yorkshire terrier, pit bulls category. What does the number of stores have to do with dogs? I am guessing that there are no stores in the world called "Dog Training, Yorkshire Terrier, Pit Bulls". Thanks.
Well "pit bull" is a term used to describe 3 diffrent breeds, and none start with an M. American Pit Bull Terrier American Staffordshire Terrier Staffordshire Bull Terrier
Pit bulls were created in the early 1800's after bear/bull baiting was made illegal in Europe. Since spectators could no longer watch Bulldogs fight bears and bulls, they crossed Bulldogs with Terriers to create what we now know as the "pit bull." These dogs were created to fight other dogs for sport.
They are the real bulldogs. Pitbull was used to separate them from the other bulldogs that really can not control bulls for not having the ability. The pit part of the name came from the place where the fights use to take place in the early days.
the pit-bull originally came from turkey but was bread many times to take the typical pit-bull terrier form
Pit bulls often refer to breeds of dogs in the Mastiff group of dogs, which are generally larger dogs that are often (historically) used for dog fighting. Other breeds of dogs which are in the same category are the American Pit Bull Terrier, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and the American Staffordshire Terrier. I do know that Pit Bulls derive from cross-breeding's of Mastiffs and American Staffordshire Terriers (look at a pic of Staffordshires and Pit Bulls, they look almost the same!!) and maybe other breeds. Good answer! But, the term "pit bull" refers more to terriers. "Pit Bulls" included the American Pit Bull Terrier, the American Staffordshire Terrier, and the Staffordshire Terrier. The most common reference to the term "pit bull" refers to the American Pit Bull Terrier, which does not stem from the Mastiff family. The American Pit Bull Terrier more closely stems from a mix of Staffordshire Terrier and Old English Bulldog (not to be confused with American Bulldog.) The American Bulldog is more closely related to the Mastiff family, not the American Pit Bull Terrier, the American Staffordshire Terrier, or the Staffordshire Terrier.
From the Wikipedia entry on pit bulls: "Pit Bull is a term commonly used to describe several breeds of dog in the Molosser family. The breeds most often placed in this category are the American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, and Staffordshire Bull Terrier."
American Pit Bull Terriers and Staffordshire Bull Terriers are very similar in appearance, with the main difference being that Pit Bulls are usually considerably larger and have longer legs. The English Bull Terrier is easily distinguishable from both Pit Bulls and Staffys as they have a uniquely shaped head which slopes steeply downwards from the base of the ears. English Bull Terriers are also generally bigger than Staffords but smaller than Pit Bulls. Pit Bulls, English Bull Terriers and Staffys are each recognized as individual breeds by the various existing Kennel Club organisations.
The American Pitbull Terrier is not recognized by the AKC. It is in the UKC terrier group. The American Staffordshire Terrier is in the AKC terrier group
