    Pitbull is not a breed. It’s just another term for mutt used to describe mixed breeds of dogs that were once used for animal fighting. So a Pitbull/Boxer mix could be 87.5% boxer and 1/8 English Bulldog for all anyone knows.

        "Despite the colloquial use of the term “pit bull” to encompass a whole category of dogs and the legal use of the term to include several breeds in legislation, some conservative professional breeders of the American Pit Bull Terrier as well as some experts and supporters claim that historically the APBT is the only true “pit bull” and the only breed that should be denominated as such

        The categorical legal definition is what I’m referencing

          So? Just use the correct definition instead by the UKC. You’re just saying you’re wrong.

            Not wrong. just concerned with the relevant, consequential definition. I simply don’t care about what you’re advocating if you’re not advocating for legal regulation and that’s when the legal definition matters.
