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.

According to the AKC and UKC, they are registered in the Terrier Group (AKC recognizes the Pit Bull as an American Staffordshire Terrier). Possibly, they have been placed in this group due to their gameness, but many current fanciers agree that they ought to be placed in the working group for their talents as herding dogs, service dogs, search and rescue dogs, Schutzhund dogs, and even sledding/weight pull dogs. yes
