What is a pittbull?

Answer 1

A pit bull is a descendant of a 50/50 cross between an Olde Bulldog and a terrier of unknown variety, most likely an old terrier breed such as the Fox Terrier or Parsons Russell Terrier. The original name of the pit bull terrier breed was the Bull And Terrier, eluding to his origins as a cross between bulldog and terrier. They share the same dog type as bulldogs- they are both Molloser-type dogs. So while they are not bulldogs in the classic sense, their origins involve lots of bulldog blood.

Answer 2

American Pit Bull Terriers, also known as American Pit Bulls, are a pure breed of dog (one of the earliest registered) which has been used for many different uses over the years. They were originally bred to work closely with humans to control large animals, such as bulls, and to hunt bears, boar, and other animals. Later, they were used as farm dogs in the early West days in America, and unfortunately also for dog fighting. They have always been tempramentally sound, and very people friendly. As they became more popular in the 1990's, a sudden increase in poorly bred specimens and ill-equipped owners caused the breed to develop a bad name.. and they are still stuck with a bad rap today. Most members of the breed are excellent citizens, and loving family members.. but in today's society, it takes only a few bad apples to taint the whole barrel. Media frenzy has caused many supposed "pit bull" attacks to be mis-named, where in fact it was a completely different breed of dog responsible.

here are some sites that will give you a good idea of the breed:
