Although it was in the United States that the Pit Bull Terrier took on its status and character, this breed of dog is not purely of American origin. In fact, most historians and researchers of this amazing dog breed tend to lean more towards the opinion that the American Pit Bull Terrier is the "American version" of the game bred Stafford or the Staffordshire Bull Terrier of the United Kingdom.
Of course the source of the Pit Bull is still debated to this very day, but most of the Pit Bull enthusiasts who tend to agree with the above notion maintain that the English and the Irish immigrants carried their game bred Staffords to the United States. In time the gene pool of the original Staffordshire Bull Terriers became more distant to the Pit Bulls we see today, with specific changes in size as a major factor.

APBT SBT AST are all closely related Think this is why if a sbt OR ast is mixed with another breed making it leaner and taller people atomatically think it must be a APBT and the red nose dosent help.
