There are three different breeds -

American Staffordshire Terriers (Amstaff for short) - the AKC version of Pitbulls

Pitbulls - UKC

Staffies - abbreviation for English Staffordshire Terrier, recognized by AKC and UKC

Staffies are not pitbulls. They are smaller 30-35 pounds. They are the ones who cannot have a pink nose. In the UK they were known as the “Nanny dog.” But now they suffer from the same breed issues as pitbulls here.

Shelters in the US are 80% pitbull and pit mixes. Huge problem.

“There are three different breeds”

Thanks for the info. I didn’t know American Staffordshire Terriers English Staffordshire Terriers were two distinct breeds.
