If you define a terrier as it is supposed to be defined, then NO, a pit bull should not be classified as a terrier. Terrier means "earth dog," referring to dogs which go to ground for game. American Pit Bulls have never been used for digging out game, though they have been (and still are being) used for hunting boar and other animals. According to the AKC and UKC, they are registered in the Terrier Group (AKC recognizes the Pit Bull as an American Staffordshire Terrier). Possibly, they have been placed in this group due to their gameness, but many current fanciers agree that they ought to be placed in the working group for their talents as herding dogs, service dogs, search and rescue dogs, Schutzhund dogs, and even sledding/weight pull dogs. yes
