Is a Shaffordshire Bull terrier and a Pit Bull the same thing?
Staffshire Bull Terrier There is no right or wrong answer to this question. It is all a matter of perspective. Perspective 1) all dogs, AKC, UKC or ADBA all originated from the same group of British dogs, making American Staffs, Staffie bulls and American pit bulls all the same dog. Perspective 2) when the original British dogs came over, they became American Staffs and American pit bulls, however, the dogs which remained in Britain are somehow significantly different from the American dogs. Perspective 3) all three of the “breeds” originated from the same group of British dogs, but have been bred along different lines and for different purposed long enough now to be separate breeds.
