Progressive legislation also includes the American bulldog,1 a related breed that shares the same blood sport heritage of bull baiting. In 1999, the United Kennel Club became the only major kennel club that recognizes the American bulldog. In the State of Ohio, the legal definition of a pit bull is a "breed of dog commonly known as a pit bull."2 The American bulldog became part of this definition after a series of appellate court rulings,
The State of Ohio v. Anderson (1991) and Toledo, Ohio v. Paul Tellings (2007).
Weight and shape can vary significantly amongst pit bulls, from 35 to 100 plus pounds.3 (Please see Disguise Breed Name to learn more about the deliberate renaming and mislabeling of pit bulls throughout history.)

So, you want to ban certain dogs because of how they look, not how they act?
