Could you explain to me why you refer to a ‘pit bull’ as a “pitt” bull?
I could understand it if it belonged to William Pitt.
My understanding is that ‘pit’ is derived from the fact that dogs were forced to fight
in an enclosed area referred to as the pit
which was situated lower than that in which the spectators were seated.
The only defintions of ‘pitt’ I find are these...
1. English statesman who brought the Seven Years’ War to an end (1708-1778)
2. English statesman and son of Pitt the Elder (1759-1806)
3. British playwright who created the fictional character Sweeney Todd (1799-1855)
By freeper brain pit bulls are over half over American dogs is my guess
You ever see the pics of some of these pit bulls in the news?
I’m like that’s a lab terrier mix
And so on
What folks regard as pit bull like are without question America’s “most distinguishable” dog type
Hounds and catch dogs were always the two most common types of dogs here
It sure looks that way in old paintings and engravings
