Yeah I know Stratton's reason was because he believe the game dog to be the original old english bulldog. I think there is enough evidence out there to show that is not true and the original writings that say Staffy Bulls became Apbts and Amstaffs are true. I believe the old dogmen were referring to the apbts tenacity when they called them Bulldogs.
Also American Pitbulldog was a term used for the original American bulldog stock in certain areas like Alabama. They were called that in addition to white English not because they were pit crosses, but because they were also used in the box or to school pit dogs. The name American Bulldog was coined by Joe Painter because it was too confusing for people who thought the dogs were pit bulls simply because of the name. Really the term bulldog came from dogs being used on Bulls, so if you think about it, the word "bulldog" doesn't apply to apbts, Staffys etc for being used in the box, the word "pit" does.
