The American Pit Bull Terrier breed is banned in some areas of the USA, the UK, and Canada due to previous reports of attacks in these countries. Governments enacted the breed specific laws in response to public perception of the breed and excessive media reports.

List of all pitbull blood lines?

Hi, the following 3 breeds are listed under the term "pitbull" 1. American Pitbull Terrier 2. American Staffordshire Terrier 3. Staffordshire bull terrier. People also use the term "bully breeds". This term includes the 3 breeds mentioned above as well as the Bull Terrier and the American Bulldog. If you want to see pictures of the 3 pitbull breeds visit http://www.pitbull-info-and-training.com/pictures-of-pitbulls.html just so you are aware a Staffordshire Bull Terrier is NOT a pitbull. If you think this then you would have a very long list if you think that Bully Breeds are pitbulls. 1. American pitBULL Terrier (I agree Pitbull) 2. American Staffordshire BULL Terrier. (in Britain pitbulls are banned this is why they name them an american staffordshire bull terrier as legally you cannot sell a PITBULL) 3. Staffordshire Bull Terrier (Smaller than a pitbull, stockier than a pitbull and a smaller face NOT A PITBULL) 4. English BULL terrier (very different from a pitbull different round face shape, smaller in height NOT A PITBULL) 5. Irish Staffordshire BULL terrier (As above you cannot legally sell a pitbull but they are passed under this name) 6.BULL Mastiff (taller than a pitbull, different build NOT A PITBULL) all of the above dogs are slandered due to people like you assuming that due to bull being in the breed name they are a Pitbulls. Pitbulls are dreadfully slandered all over the world the above dogs are becoming nameless aswell. All of the above dogs were bred for different reasons and for a different purpose and not all are the same BREED as you assume. All of these dogs in the right loving environment are all wonderful natured dogs its the owners at fault.
