Because there's no such breed as "pitbull". That is a word used to describe everything from Bull Terriers to American Bulldogs to Boxer mixes and every molosser under the sun.

In truth there are 3 closely related breeds that could properly be considered "pit bull" breeds. The AKC American Staffordshire Terrier, AKC Staffordshire Bull Terrier and the UKC American Pit Bull Terrier. But hell, I can't count the times the news her has said a "pitbull" bit somebody and then they show some damn Bandogge mutt that may or may not have any of the above breeds in them. My how they love to whip up their hysteria.
