There you have it! Now you know what you've been calling your dog all along. The proper usage of the breed Pit Bull is Pit Bull, American Pit Bull Terrier, and APBT. However, as you should know by now, if your dog doesn't have papers, it's not a Pit Bull. APBT owners CRINGE every time they hear the incorrect aforementioned "nicknames" being used. So, uh, just stop doing it. Kay? Kay!
