The American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) is a purebred dog breed recognized by the United Kennel Club (UKC) and American Dog Breeders Association (ADBA), but not the American Kennel Club (AKC). It is a medium-sized, intelligent, short-haired dog, of a solid build, whose early ancestors came from the British Isles. In 2014, new statistical evidence emerged regarding the province-wide ban on 'pit bulls', more specifically the American Pit Bull Terrier and American Staffordshire Terrier, in the Canadian province of Ontario. Since the ban had been implemented, dog bites involving pit bull types had dropped considerably as their populations decreased in the province's largest city Toronto, yet overall dog bites hit their highest levels this century in 2013 and 2014. Certain states and cities in the United States have banned ownership of the American Pit Bull Terrier, as well as the province of Ontario in Canada.
