Know Your BreedHere's to Rebecca Vance! We have also wondered why it is everyone in Modesto advertises their puppies as “'pit bulls’'. The breed the pfttple are trying to sell is officially called (if they are purebred) American Staffordshire Terriers, It' is a shame people do not even know the breed of, their opn dog. ,.Many, many years ago American Staffordshire* were called “pitbulls”, but most people with any dog knowledge know the term is extinct, or should be.We own a White Bull Terrier and we cringe every time people refer to him as a “pit bull**. Bull Terriers were never referred to as such, not even in the past. American Staffordshire Terriers and Bull Terriers are two different breeds.Please, American Staffordshire owners, read up on your breed. Let him be recognized for what he is now, not for what he was in the past.__ . # SHELLY JUNE HURD Modesto
