A pit bull is a descendant of a 50/50 cross between an Olde Bulldog and a terrier of unknown variety, most likely an old terrier breed such as the Fox Terrier or Parsons Russell Terrier. The original name of the pit bull terrier breed was the Bull And Terrier, eluding to his origins as a cross between bulldog and terrier. They share the same dog type as bulldogs- they are both Molloser-type dogs. So while they are not bulldogs in the classic sense, their origins involve lots of bulldog blood.
