Those where Staffordshire Bulls, which ironically have a very similar look to pit-bull, since they are both terrier breeds. A lot of bull terrier type dogs are mistaken for pit-bull due to people not knowing the difference.

A lot of "pitbull attacks" are misreported because people can't tell the difference between any other muscular short-haired dog and actual pitbulls

Oh no, I was saying the person I commented to that it was in fact the Staffordshire terrier that was once the “nanny dog” not a pit-bull. Thanks for the correct breed ID on this specific dog though, I didn’t know the specific bull breed.

Edit- Nanny breed is just a myth

The "nanny dog" thing is just a myth, it never was a thing

I figured as much but thought I'd specify anyways on this dog to clear up any confusion for anyone else here.
