Not at all.
For one the Bull Terrier has a flat skull with no stop and elongated muzzle whereas the Bulldog has a pronounced stop and a squashed muzzle.
Same as in English ENGLISH BULL TERRIER
No, they are not the same. the American bulldog, like the English and french bulldog, is from the bulldog family. the American pittbull terrier is from the terrier family like the jack Russel.
ASTs and APBT are not the same breed. People commonly lump them in together but they are not the same breed. The only dog breed that can be accurately called a Pit Bull is the American Pit Bull Terrier.
If your asking about a staffordshire bull terrier then the two breeds are not the same the American bull terrier is a much larger dog and more athletic in build and a complete different head shape, its like comparing apples and pears .
i dont think there is any difference because i think they are the same dog but it has two names hope this helps
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.
The pit bull is a non-official separate breed - to get pit bull puppies you breed two pit bulls together. However, there is no AKC registration available for this breed (currently) as it is not recognized as a separate breed.
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.
In the early 1800's Bulldogs crossed with terriers were popular. By 1830 combat between Bulldogs and bulls were at the height of their popularity. Lovers of this so called "sport" decided to create a dog that would attack even more agilely. They crossed the Bulldog with the Old English Terrier adding in some Spanish Pointer blood, the result was the Bull Terrier breed. They soon found that the Bull Terriers were not the most successful fighters. In 1860 the white-coated variety, which was nicknamed the "White Cavalier" was bred by a dog dealer named English dog dealer James Hinks and soon became a fashionable pet for nobles. The colored variety of Bull Terriers were created by back crossing them with brindle Staffordshires The breed has been used as a guard, ratter, herder and watchdog. The Miniature was developed to have the same qualities as the Standard Bull Terrier but with a more manageable size. The Standard Bull Terrier was first recognized by the AKC in 1885 and the Miniature Bull Terrier in 1991. While the AKC sees the Standard Bull Terrier and the Miniature Bull Terrier as separate breeds the standard requirements are the same accept for size. Whereas most other clubs see them as different varieties of the same breed or the same breed without placing a variety label. For example the FCI (Federation Cynologique Internationale) has both breeds listed under Bull Terrier separating them by a Standard and Miniature variety. The UCK (United Kennel Club) does not place any height or weight restrictions but does require the dog to be in proportion. The Bull Terrier was recognized by the United Kennel Club in 1948.
The Miniature Bulldog or "Toy Bulldog", as it's also known, is a cross between an English Bulldog and a Pug thought to be extinct. They were developed and used to create the French Bulldog. Which contrary to popular belief, did not originate in France but in England along side of the Boston Terrier, a cross between the Toy Bulldog, the White English Terrier, along with an infusion of French Bulldog in the 19th Century. The "Miniature Bulldog"/"Toy Bulldog" was developed by Lace Makers and Artisans in the 19th Century.However, many of the "Toy Bulldogs" were pushed out of England in the mid- to late 19th century as they were perceived as a threat to the English Bulldogbreed.In the early 21st century, breeders were advertising "Miniature Bulldogs", but these seem to be newly created Bulldog - Pug crossbreeds.
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.
The genus of an English Bulldog is the same as all dogs; Canis.
