Original Note:
Pit Bull is a description for a type of dog, but American Pit Bull Terriers are a breed. (AKC calls them the American Staffordshire Terrier.) The UK will first define, then add the American XL type to the Pit Bull Terrier already banned under the Dangerous Dog Act. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/09/12/american-xl-bully-breed-uk-ban/ https://www.itv.com/news/2023-09-15/what-is-the-dangerous-dogs-act-and-why-is-it-controversial https://dogtime.com/advocacy/39017-know-difference-pit-bull-american-pit-bull-terrier https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/american-staffordshire-terrier/
