The pit bull was originally bred for bull baiting, which was a blood sport in the 1800s, mainly in England. The sport soon became outlawed, but now in present times, even though it is illegal, dog fighting is commonly practiced in pits. People have bred pit bulls to be aggressive, and here we are blaming the pit bull.

Pit Bull is a term commonly used to describe several breeds of dog in the Molosser family. The breeds most often placed in this category are the American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, and Staffordshire Bull Terrier. In the media the term is vague and may include other breeds with similar physical characteristics, such as the Perro de Presa Canario, Cane Corso, Dogo Argentino, Alano Espanol, Japanese Tosa, Dogue de Bordeaux, Cordoba Fighting Dog, Alapaha Blue Blood Bulldog, American Bulldog, Boxer, Valley Bulldog, Olde English Bulldogge, Renascence Bulldogge, and Banter Bulldogge. These breeds are rarely listed by name in breed-specific legislation, but they are sometimes included when the term is defined broadly and based on physical appearance.[1]

The common pit bull was created in the early 1800's. Before this time, dog-sport fanciers would use bulldogs to fight bulls, bear, etc. When bull baiting was outlawed, these fanciers tried to find a new sport. Bulldogs were crossed with terriers, to create a strong but tenacious dog that would excel at dog fighting. This led to what we now know as the "pit bull"
