REAL pitbulls are in 3 different catagories... staffordshire terrier, pitbull, and staffordshire bull terrier.... it depends on the size of the dog as to what catagory they are in... I was told my dog was a full pit when i got her.. and she is most definatly not a pit... but.. obviously like i said people arnt going to listen to someone who works with them for a living.. they make their own opinions and thats what they stick to
