Recent research tells us that many backyard breeders are breeding pit bulls repeatedly – then dumping them. By the way, what is commonly termed a “pit bull” is NOT a breed; it is a combination of breeds evolving over many years and may include the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, the American Staffordshire Terrier, and the American Pit Bull Terrier. The American Bulldog, the Miniature Bull Terrier, and the Bull Terrier are also sometimes included. It is a TYPE of dog versus a breed.
