the akc has classified the breed as an American staffordshire terrier while the ukc has classified the breed as an American pit bull terrier so yes, they are both the same dog but American Staffordshire Terriers have been selectively bred for the last 65 years or so to posess certain physical characteristics. The Pitbull was bred for performance rather than looks so there are a wide variety of body types and temperments.
