I own a red nose pit bull and she is a sweetheart, although I am having some troubles finding an apartment that will accept the pit bull breed here in st pete florida, Although I found that most people dont know the difference between the two breeds and I am getting more apartments saying they will accept the american bull. Is there really that big of a difference?
An American Pit Bull Terrier (also referred to as a ‘pit bull’ or APBT) is a much smaller breed of dog ranging from 25-60# depending on which breeder the dog comes from.
The American Bulldog, which I believe is what you’re referring to, is a larger breed, typically, than the APBT, but is just as agile and shares the same people adoring temperment. Some of them (Johnson’s ABs) can pass for APBTs, but not always.
Apartments will accept them because they’re typically (if a dog has human aggressive tendencies) be labeled as a pit bull-type dog – especially in issues such as breed specific legislation (BSL).

Both dogs are registerable with the UKC and ARBA.
If you’re terribly concerned and want to lie (which I honestly do not suggest doing since it can lead to eviction), I would suggest calling the dog a mix breed of some variety – likely boxer and Vizsla or something along those lines.
