AMERICAN PITBULL TERRIER COLORS REGISTRATION
Since then, only dogs with AKC registration were to be bred together, if the offspring was to be registered. The AKC opened the AmStaff Stud Book to UKC dogs a few more times until the 1970s. The name of the breed was revised on January 1, 1969, to American Staffordshire Terrier to distinguish it from the British Staffordshire Bull Terrier, a separate breed from the Bull-type terrier group, recognized in England in 1935.

The name Staffordshire Terrier was chosen, with the claim that the ancestors of the breed originally came from Staffordshire, England. On June 10, 1936, about 50 UKC registered Pit Bull Terrier dogs were accepted for registration in the American Kennel Club (AKC) Stud Book with a new breed name and a new purpose, belonging to the AKC terrier group. Already developed as an American dog, such dogs became a new breed, which was recognized by the United Kennel Club (UKC) in February 1898 as the American Pit Bull Terrier. Some dogs became very famous for their dog fighting skills. Some varieties of Bull-and-terrier from the British Isles began to find their way into America as early as 1850. It should not be confused with the Staffordshire Bull Terrier of the United Kingdom. The breed was accepted by the AKC in 1936. American Staffordshire Terriers are similar to American Pit Bull Terriers, though the American Pit Bull Terrier is not recognized by the American Kennel Club.

The American Kennel Club (AKC) describes the breed as "confident, smart and good-natured". The height of an American Staffordshire Bull Terrier is 17–19 in (43–48 cm) tall and weighs between 40–70 lb (18–32 kg). The American Staffordshire Terrier, also known as the AmStaff or American Staffy is a medium-sized, short-coated American dog breed.
