Firstly, the Pit Bull is not actually a breed, but the term is used to refer to breeds such as the American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier and sometimes the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Assuming by ''Pit Bull'' you mean the American Pit Bull Terrier or American Staffordshire Terrier, the difference is that the Staffordshire Bull Terrier is a few inches shorter, weighs less and was first bred in England. ''Pit Bull'' type dogs are unfortunately illegal in many countries, such as the UK, with the exception of the Staffordshire Bull Terrier; which is still legal.

Usually yes, the English Bull Terrier would be bigger than the Staffy. However, there are some very large Staffords which could easily outgrow an English Bull Terrier. Most English Bull Terriers (excluding the Miniature ones) will be bigger than Staffordshire Bull Terriers however.

An English Bull Terrier is between 53-56cm (21-22in) and a Staffordshire Bull Terrier is between 36-41cm (14-16in) meaning that generally the English Bull Terrier will be larger. However, the smaller Miniature Bull Terrier is shorter than a Staffy.
