Staffordshire terrier if registered with the A.K.C. These are the real pitbulls.

Not an actual breed of dog, but a category containing the American Pit Bull Terrier, the American Staffordshire Terrier, and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. However, it's a term used by the media to describe any dog that shares the same physical characteristics of the above breeds, including the American Bulldog, Argentine Dogo, Boxer, etc.

Because of the wide range of breeds called 'pit bulls', people have an unclear perception of what they actually are. Any mixed breed that looks like an APBT is also often called a 'pit bull'.
The APBT, Amstaff, and Staffy Bull are all labeled as 'pit bulls' by the media.

A dog descended from bull and terrier crosses created as a dogfighting breed. A gamebred animal with drive and heart. Capable of becoming a loyal, loving family pet. Often fond of children. Easy to train by a firm handler. The choice breed for irresponsible owners.
This breed has been given a horrible name, mainly due to the media hype focusing on so-called 'dangerous' breeds. In reality, the APBT is one of the only breeds ever bred specifically to be extremely friendly to humans.
They do NOT have locking jaws. They do not make good guard dogs.
Petey, the dog in The Little Rascals, was an American Pit Bull Terrier.

The UKC was founded by an APBT owner, and the first breed registered with the UKC was APBT Bennett's Ring.

The APBT was a popular icon of American Pride during the 1990s, decorating war posters and representing the country's strength and dignity.

Originally: A shortened name for the American Pit Bull Terrier

Today: A term used by the media to label all bully breeds and any mixes of these breeds. It is also used by backyard breeders who have no other intention than to make money or produce fighting dogs or guard dogs.
'Pit Bull' is the only term commonly used to report these attacks. It is often used many times and the dogs is often not an actual American Pit Bull Terrier.

Sarah Palin. A gun toting, creationist Alaskan succestionist that "prays away gays". Elected governor of Alaska since 2006,previously mayor of a small town population 6,000. Before that she was a beauty queen/moose hunter. She has a pregnant teen and belongs to a church that does not believe in birth control methods.
The Pittbull delivered a speech at the 2008 RNC - which was hailed by the media as "knock out punch". She said sarcastic, accusatory things about democrats supporting terrorism, raising taxes, growing the government (the usual Karl Rove talking points), insulting a huge swath of the USA while wearing a big grin.

David Letterman thinks she was a Lenscrafters model.
Palin's speech was memorable! The media slobbered like pavlovian dogs! Divisionism and gay bashing is back! Yippee

But, can that nasty pittbull with lipstick be left in charge of our country if God forbid, McCain who is 72, falls ill?
