When the American Kennel Club was petitioned to recognize the breed around 1935, the name American Pit Bull Terrier (or American Bull Terrier) could not be used because of the influential Bull Terrier people who felt they had a patent on the name Bull Terrier. (The Boston Terrier people who had wanted recognition of the Boston Bull Terrier had been turned down for the same reason.) Another factor was that the A.K.C. didnt want to use a name that had been utilized by the U.K.C. Will Judy, the publisher and editor of Dog World at that time, suggested the name Yankee Terrier. However, Staffordshire Terrier was the name decided upon, and the breed was placed in the Terrier Group, in which it was oddly out of place.
The English version of its pit dog had been recognized by the British Kennel Club as the Staffordshire Bull Terrier (apparently, the Bull Terrier fanciers over there were more reasonable of wielded less influence). For many years, people regarded the Staffordshire Terrier (Staf or Staff) and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier (Stafford) as the same breed, even though they had developed along entirely different lines and had different standards. Among show people, there has always been a fascination with imported stock. Thus, in the mid-1950's, some Staf people imported Staffordshire Bull Terriers and bred them to their Stafs. Well, this set of quite a civil war among the Staf set, since many of them would not accept Staffords as being the same breed. Howard Hadley, one of the most reputable and influential of Staf people, led a successful fight to get the Staffordshire Bull Terrier declared a separate breed by the A.K.C. A problem then arose because the registry had two breeds with very similar names: the Staffordshire Terrier and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. At this point, the Staf people, who had fought so long ago, were offered that name back - but they refused! Their reasoning was that they had spent over twenty years and thousands of dollars promoting the name Staffordshire, and they were now unwilling to give that up. This made absolutely no sense, of course, for the Staf people had never become popular, and most people had no idea what they were. In any case, the name American Staffordshire Terrier was hit upon as a compromise and, the last I heard , is still the name being used. In the meantime, a registry for registering Pit Bulldogs exclusively was started by Guy Mc-Cord in Chicago. It was called the American Dog Breeders Association, and it registered the breed as Pit Bull Terrier. Later the registry was taken over by Frank Ferris who married the widow of John P. Colby. In the early 70's the registry was purchased by the Greenwood family, and by this time, American Pit Bull Terrier(with the parenthesis) was the ADBAs official name for the breed. Under the guidance of Ralph Greenwood, the registry grew tremendously in size and influence. Before that, the ADBA was just that other outfit that registers Pit Bulls.
