what are pit bulls
The Pit Bull dog classification is actually composed of several different, yet similar, dog breeds. The breeds most commonly recognized as Pit Bulls, often referred to as Pitbulls as well, include American Pit Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers, and Staffordshire Bull Terriers.
