The American Pit Bull Terrier was developed in the United States in the 19th century by breeding bulldogs and terriers. Specifically, the breed is a mix of the Old English Bulldog and various terrier breeds, such as the English Terrier and the American Staffordshire Terrier. This combination was intended to create a versatile working dog that could excel in various roles, including farm work and later, as a companion.
