Is this a pit bull?

This is not a Pit Bull. This is a Bull Terrier. The breed dates back to about 1835. They were established by mating a bulldog to the now extinct white English Terrier. They were then called "bull and terrier." Years later, in an attempt to make the breed larger, they were crossed with Spanish Pointers.

This was a dog for sportsman, when dogfights were allowed and well attended. They were known as the "gladiator" of the canine world. They had great strength, agility and courage. They were bred for gentleman, by gentlemen-those who had a great sense of fair play, and those who scorned the liar and the deceiver in any game. The dog was taught to defend itself and his master, yet not to ever seek out or provoke any fighting. The white variety, which was the most popular variety in those times, was known as the "white cavalier."
