Description : The American Pit Bull Terrier is classed by the AKC as the American Staffordshire Terrier, but as the American Pit Bull Terrier by the UKC. Choose from a responsible breeder and make sure the puppy is properly socialized and handled. So I'm still working on my research paper and getting a lot of information, but I have read on here and know that the UKC recognizes the American Pit bull terrier and the Staffordshire bull terrier, while the AKC recognizes the American Staffordshire terrier and the Staffordshire bull terrier.

The ADBA, another registry which also registers APBT's, has a standard for the breed that's much, much closer to what the original APBT was. ADBA American Pit Bull Terrier on the Left, UKC American Pit Bull Terrier in the center, and AKC American Staffordshire Terrier on the right.
Esspecialy since everyone seems to have a different name for the exact same thing, or people will lie and say they're dog is one of the other breeds and not a "Pit Bull".
