1. A pitbull is one breed. But lots of people don't know a pitbull from a pony, so they erroneously label a ton of breeds as pitbulls, unfortunately. There are lots of dogs in the "bull" family, though, like american staffordshire terriers, staffordshire bull terriers, bulldogs, french bulldogs, bull terriers, miniature bull terriers, american bulldogs, etc. Some people even put boxers in with the mix.
2. There is one breed of dog known as the American Pit Bull Terrier. "Pit bull" is a nickname for this breed and is occasionally used as a nickname (or incorrectly as a name) for a few other breeds, such as the American Staffordshire Terrier. I think you mean the group of dogs often called "bull-and-terriers." This was a name for the prototype of the American Pit Bull Terrier and other breeds. Basically, it was any dog that was a mixture of Bulldog and terrier. Today it is used as a classification for any breed that was created through a mixture of Bulldog and terrier. These include: American Staffordshire Terrier Staffordshire Bull Terrier Bull Terrier Miniature Bull Terrier American Pit Bull Terrier Blue Paul Terrier (extinct) If, on the other hand, you're referring to breeds that are often confused with American Pit Bull Terriers, these include: Boxer Dogue de Bordeaux Alapaha Blue Blood Bulldog Greater Swiss Mountain Dog Vizsla Rhodesian Ridgeback Dogo Argentino Labrador Retriev Bullmastiff Jack Russell Terrier Fila Brasileiro Rottweiler Presa Canario American Bulldog Cane Corso Patterdale Terrier Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog Bull Terrier Black Mouth Cur Elano Espanol South African Boerboel Ca De Bou Thai Ridgeback
3. Pit bull is not a category. It is a breed in and of itself. Descriptive terms like "blue" or "bully" refer to things like the build or color, but they are all still pit bulls.
4. There is only one Pit Bull Terrier, but there are lots of bully breeds, which include the pit bull. Staffies, Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers, Miniature Bull Terriers, Bulldogs (English and American) and a few other breeds are all also included in this bully breed spectrum.
