i know where and how the am-staff came about and i know its name doesn't have bull in it but can anybody tell me why or how a dog that is bred from bull terrier dogs (english staffie was its predecessor so ive read on many sites) has a family of cousins (pit bull terrier for 1) not be a dog of the bull terrier family just cus it isn't in the name? been having this argument with the missus and would love to see your opinions on it please and thankyou
