Sporting Staffordshire Bull Terriers

Note on the confusion between Irish Staffordshire bull terriers and American pit bull terriers.

Irish Staffordshire bull terriers are not American pit bull terriers, they are either Irish working strains derived from the English Staffordshire bull terrier, or the Psycho strain derived from working English bull terrier badger dogs and working Irish lines of Staffordshire bull terrier.  They share their common ancestor the British Pit Bull Terrier with the American pit bull terrier.  America has its own strain of pit bull terrier (derived from the British  pit bull terrier), which has the American pre-fix in front of it. These days the American pit bull terrier tends to be much larger than the British and Irish dogs that is originated from (some even over 80 pounds).
