There is some degree of diversity in appearance among American Pit Bull Terriers. APBTs can range in size from 30 pounds to 75 pounds (14 to 34 kg). Some breeders, as they have in so many other breeds, have even produced giant versions of the APBT, approaching 100 pounds (45 kg) or more. Some of the original pit fighting dogs imported from the British Isles were very small by today’s standards. In the pit, some of the greatest fighters of all time weighed less than 35 pounds (16 kg). These dogs gave rise to the popular expression, “It is not the size of the dog in the fight; it’s the size of the fight in the dog.”
