What’s the difference between the American, Irish and British Staffordshire bull terriers? …Besides their accents. From what I’ve gathered Americans are larger but I’ve found no other info aside from picture i’ve seen in which they all look slightly different

They look similar to English Bull Terriers but have longer legs. They have long noses. They can be white, black, brown, or of mixed colors.

American Staffordshire Bull Terrier (mostly known as pitbull terrier)
taller, than the other two variations of the breeds, head is more shapely versus the standard bull terrier

    There is *ONE* breed…The Staffordshire Bull Terrier! Period,end of debate.
    Any "modifier" would *ONLY*indicate that a particular animal has been ***EXPORTED*** from New York, Dublin or Heathrow!!!!
    WHELPED in US,Ireland,or England!
    NOT different breeds.

    There are always *regional* differences…from one end of ONE COUNTRY to another…NOT DIFFERENT BREEDS!!!!
    Got that yet?
    "Piky" is 100% WRONG!!!!!
