The Misjudged Breed
Pit bulls are a misunderstood breed of dog and have been for a while. They’ve been given a bad name because of a few incidents. That’s why they tend to end up in shelters. Because of their muscular build, they appear aggressive, but that’s not often the case.
The Real Terminology
Most people don’t know that “pit bull” doesn’t refer to a single breed of dog. It’s an umbrella term for many breeds falling into the same category. This includes the Bull Terrier, English Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, and American Pit Bull Terrier.
