Could someone explain EXACTLY what the difference is between a Pit Bull and an American Staff, if there even is one... I'm fed up with hearing so much rubbish about it...

Pit Bulls are a cross between a Bulldog and a Bull Terrier. But an AmStaff is a different cross, which makes them notably more aggressive!!
Pitbulls have been mistreated for their whole history.
But everyone says they should be trained properly, when it’s not the dog’s fault, it’s the owner’s fault.
They were bred to kill, so it’s the humans who mistreat them that should be the ones being sorted out, yet now the dogs are banned.
And the difference between a Pitbull and a Staffy is that they’re pretty much the same thing...
So yeah, in France, the Pitbull isn't recognised as a breed... in the US, it’s a breed in its own right. As has been said, AmStaffs and Pitbulls are the same thing – they come from the same crosses, but different selection criteria are the reason for the two names... so in France, AmStaffs and a few other mastiff-type breeds are actually categorised as Pitbulls.
That said, whether it’s a Pitbull or an AmStaff, they are by far the most loyal dogs to their owners – affectionate, protective, very intelligent, with an incredible nose (do I really need to point out the "Terrier" in American Staffordshire Terrier? ^^) and they're so reliable. In my opinion, the perfect dog :)
