Depends on what you're referring to exactly, considering the "pit bull" is actually not a breed. To I will list a few general pit types which all carry similar looks.

- American Pit Bull Terrier, what people call a "pit bull" today. Not an accepted breed by the AKC.

- Staffordshire Bull Terrier, a relatively small and compact breed. AKC accepted.

- American Staffordshire Terrier, a larger dog, quite robust. AKC accepted.
