I think that staffies have very similar heads to an american pitbull. Its a face that says I'm cute but you don't wanna F*%# with me :lol:

I thought they were the same breed, just that "pit" is the common name?

Sort of like scientific vs common names in fish lol.

Staffordshire Bull Terriers are much smaller than Pitbull's.

Oh okay. Never knew that.

Around here a lot of people call pit's Staffordshire terriers because they think then they won't realize its a pit (bad associations). Personally I love them, they are super loveable dogs, if raised right.

I think Fahakas might be in season. At least maybe here in the states. They've been on my suppliers availability sheet for three weeks now. I wish I could bring one into the store, but I'm sure none of my customers would be willing to properly care for it.

hi yeh, staffies are alot smaller. i think both breeds are great. just a shame that alot of pits in this country are bought for the wrong reason and end up being aggressive giving them a bad name.
