I didn't see any of them that were full blooded pit bulls. American Bulldogs, though similar looking, are a completely different breed. They get mistaken for pit bulls all the time, and probably add to the numbers, as do boxers, mastiffs, bordeaux mastiffs, etc. American bulldogs are not as rare as you would think. They are very prevalent in the south, but not fighting other dogs as much. They are normally used to bait wild hogs, and are also used in weight pulling quite often. They are about as much pit bull as they are english bulldog.
