Known for their intelligence and loyalty American Pit Bull Terriers make excellent,
loving and protective companion despite the unfair press they receive. Some American Pit Bull Terriers are dual-registered
as an American Pit Bull Terrier with the UKC and as an American Staffordshire Terrier with the AKC; however, this draws criticism
