What is the difference between the American Pit Bull Terrier and the American Staffordshire Terrier?
A SEPERATE STRAIN
In May 1936, a group of American Pit Bull Terrier fanciers who wanted to exhibit their dogs at shows formed the Staffordshire Terrier Club of America. The club’s purpose was to achieve American Kennel Club (AKC) recognition for the breed, since neither the United Kennel Club nor the American Dog Breeders Association held shows at the time. In June 1936, the breed was accepted by the American Kennel Club under the name Staffordshire Terrier. Some American Pit Bull Terrier breeders immediately switched their dogs over to AKC registration. Others continued to register with UKC and/or ADBA, but registered with the AKC as well. Breeders who had no interest in showing their dogs did not register with AKC.
Not everyone who registered their dogs with AKC during those early years was anti-dogfighting and pro-show. Some dogs made a name in both the pit and the ring. As time past fewer and fewer breeders of fighting dogs took part in dog shows and the Staffordshire Terrier (renamed American Staffordshire Terrier in 1972), became a separate, rather distinct strain within the breed.
During the mid 1970’s, both the United Kennel Club and the American Dog Breeders Association began sanctioning shows for American Pit Bull Terriers. Since then, the number of American Pit Bull Terriers entered in shows has grown steadily.
