"Pit Bull" is not an AKC recognized breed of dog.
The American Kennel Club recognized the pit bull in 1936 under that name.
According to the official American Kennel Club Breed Standard, American Staffordshire Terriers (Pit Bulls) should reach between 17 and 19 inches at the shoulder.
The American Kennel Club would be an excellent resource. They would be able to put you in contact with reputable registered breeders. Their website is a wonderful resource for finding, and vetting breeders.
The Staffordshire Bull Terrier is the fifth Most Popular Breed in the UK, with 8,663 registered with the Kennel Club in 2010 alone. The breed is internationally popular, but it would be impossible to get a correct estimate of just how many Staffies there are in the World as not all of them are Kennel Club registered. The Staffordshire Bull Terrier is, however, less popular in America where it was the 74th (out of 167 breeds) in popularity in 2010.
Both of these breeds are illegal in the UK. The main difference between these two breeds is that American Staffordshire Terriers have a recognised, official breed standard, whereas Pit Bull Terriers do not. Pit Bull Terriers are not actually an official breed.
No, the Kennel Club's requirements on breeding standard are that they should be perfectly parallel.
