A Misjudged Breed
Pit bulls are definitely a misunderstood breed and get a bad reputation. They have a muscular build, which gives the impression that they’re always aggressive. That’s usually not the case, but they still end up in shelters.
Actually Many Breeds
Most people don’t know it, but “pit bull” doesn’t refer to a single breed. It’s an umbrella term, in a sense, for many breeds within the same category. They include the American Staffordshire Terrier, American Pit Bull Terrier, Bull Terrier, and the English Staffordshire Bull Terrier.
