There are a few Dog Breeds that can be put under the term 'pit bull':

American pit bull terrier

American staffordshire terrier

Staffordshire bull terrier

and there is a breed called Irish staffordshire bull terrier

People argue that the APBT and the Amstaff are one and the same breed, but others argue that the bloodlines have been apart too long for them to be considered the same breed.
