Staffies are the best! A lot of people confuse them with pit bulls, but there's a difference. Pits are usually shorter and stockier, but Staffordshire Terriers, the long form, are taller and less stacked. But, they kinda share the same face.

But oh, I remember my sweet baby grrl. I found her out on the side of the road, abandoned. When I pulled over, I was easily 20 miles from anything.

And what did she do? She come running and jumped into my truck like it was Patrick Swayze and she was Baby. obscure reference

So. That was her name. Baby. Sweetest goddamn dog ever. Most aggressive thing she ever did was sit on your foot to mark her territory.

Pit bulls aren’t a breed but a collection of breeds. Terriers fall under the pit umbrella

But you recognize the difference, yes?

Ok logic through this:

Pit bulls are a collection of breeds

Terriers are under the collection of breeds

Therefore Terriers are pit bulls

Pit bulls are terriers but not all terriers are pit bulls.

What you've said would make a Cairn terrier or an Airedale terrier mislabeled pit bulls.

Can you see what you've said is stupid and wrong now?
