Does the breading of the staff have anything to do with a pit bull?
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.
Name all breeds of the pitbull?
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 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.

Yes, Staffordshire Bull Terriers come from the county, Staffordshire, in central England. The Bull Terrier was bred from the SBT and they also come from England, but not necessarily from that county. The American Staffordshire Terrier and the American Pit Bull Terrier both also were bred from the SBT, but those larger breeds come from America.

Is a bull terrier bigger than a staffie?
Firstly, the Pit Bull is not actually a breed, but the term is used to refer to breeds such as the American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier and sometimes the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Assuming by ''Pit Bull'' you mean the American Pit Bull Terrier or American Staffordshire Terrier, the difference is that the Staffordshire Bull Terrier is a few inches shorter, weighs less and was first bred in England. ''Pit Bull'' type dogs are unfortunately illegal in many countries, such as the UK, with the exception of the Staffordshire Bull Terrier; which is still legal.
Do staffordshire bull terriors kill rats?
Yes, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier was originally bred to kill rats for pest control and organised ''ratting'' competitions.

There are many breeds that were bred for vermin control, including the Jack Russell Terrier, Parson Russell Terrier, Yorkshire Terrier, Norfolk Terrier, Lakeland Terrier, Miniature Schnauzer, Border Terrier, Patterdale Terrier and many more. In fact, pretty much all Terriers were originally bred to kill rats.

What did pitbulls use to be?
The Pit Bull Terrier (or American Staffordshire Terrier) was first bred from large Staffordshire Bull Terriers - a similar English breed. American breeders wanted a larger version of the English so selected the biggest offspring for further breeding. They were (and still are illegally) used for fighting other dogs in organised fighting rings.
Would an American bulldog and a staffordshire bull terrier make a pit bull terrier?
Theoretically yes, any breed can be mated with any breed. In this situation it would probably be adviseable to use a female Staffordshire Bull Terrier and a male American Staffordshire Terrier for ease of mating. Be sure not to use an American Staffordshire Terrier that is too big as it might hurt the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Bear in mind that the resulting puppies will be crossbred so will have less value than purebreds. They will also probably either resemble large Staffordshire Bull Terriers or small American Staffordshire Terriers.
