The American Pit Bull Terrier (by that name) was first recognized by the UKC in 1898.

The ADBA first recognized the APBT in 1909 its original documentation can be seen here: http://www.adbadog.com/p_gallary.asp?aid=18&pid=885

The English (or British) Bulldog was first recognized in 1902. This is the official history published by the AKC http://www.akc.org/breeds/bulldog/history.cfm in it it states that the "bull dog" after 1835 was purposefully bred to recreate the earlier dog without its viscousness. In other words, this breed is different than the original bulldog cited in the histories of both breeds...

"there were dog lovers who felt deep disappointment at the passing of the bred, and they set themselves the task of preserving it. They proceeded to eliminate the undesirable fierce characteristics and to preserve and accentuate the finer qualities. Within a few generations, the English Bulldog became one of the finest physical specimens, minus its original viciousness."

There is alot more to still be discussed, but it may not be worth it with this asshole. Anyone who states that the APBT was never used as a fighting dog is an idiot.
