A distinction is usually drawn between American Staffordshire bull terriers and English Staffordshire bull terriers and that is the two main types of bloodlines in the Staffordshire bull terrier family. Sometimes pit bull terriers are also placed in this category.
This would depend on where you live as there are many excellent bloodlines for Staffies all over the world. If you want to find a Staffie from a very good bloodline it would be best to go to a recognised and registered breeder in your area and purchase a puppy from such a breeder. You also have to decide if you want a dog for show purposes or for temperament as bloodlines also distinguish between those two.

English bull terrier and staffordshire bull terrier mix
The Pit Bull itself is only one breed, but there are two other breeds that are very similar. These are the American Staffordshire Terrier and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. The Pit Bull is not an officially recognised breed and so is not bred to a standard. The Staffordshire Bull Terrier is a smaller recognised version of the Pit Bull, and the American Staffordshire Terrier is a recognised version of the Pit Bull.
I can only think of 4 the American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Staffordshire Terrier, and the American Pit Bull Terrier.
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.
