last I heard, they didnt even consider pitbulls an official breed. not my words, theirs.





"Pit Bull" is not a breed. The AKC recognizes Stafforshire Terriers and the UKC recognizes American Pit Bull Terrier. My dog was bred by a kennel that uses the UKC definition of a "pit bull", which is slightly more forgiving that the AKC description.

Saying APBT or American Pit Bull Terrier is a bit of a mouthfull at times, so Pit Bull became the common short cut. And that has been turned into somethign evil by people that don't know any better.
