Fun Fact: “Pit bull” is NOT a breed.
It’s a generic term often used to describe all dogs with similar traits and characteristics known to the public as “pit bulls.”
If we use the name “pit bull” on this site, understand that it may encompass American Pit Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers, and Staffordshire Bull Terriers, and mixes of those breeds.
To put it simply, when you see a dog that looks like a “pit bull,” chances are good that it’s not actually a purebred pit bull at all!
So what’s the deal with these dogs? Why are they so often lumped together under one label? The answer likely has more to do with human perceptions than anything else.
Because these dogs share certain physical traits – such as a muscular build and short coat – they are often seen as being members of the same “type.” In reality, however, these breeds are quite different from one another in terms of temperament, history, and even origins.
So the next time you see a dog that you think might be a “pit bull,” take a moment to learn about the individual dog before making any assumptions. You might be surprised at what you find!
