Yes I agree when you hear "Pit Bull" it should mean American Pit Bull Terrier, but it doesnt. "Pit Bull" is actually a term used to define three different breeds, American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, and Staffordshire Bull Terrier(To my understanding anyways). When I hear the term "Pit Bull" I think of these three breeds, yes the first one that comes to mind is the APBT, but it doesnt filter out the other two.

If I am wrong someone please correct me.

For me... ''pit bull'' means American Pit Bull Terrier

"Am Staff" means American Staffordshire Terrier

"Staffy" or "staffy bull" means Staffordshire Bull Terrier.

American Bully isn't even part of my vocabulary.

I definitley differentiate between the breeds even when using nick names.

I think lumping them all together, even nick name wise isn't in the best interest of any of the breeds especially when it comes to bite statistics. Maybe if WE stop lumping them together, everyone else will.
