To be fair they are commonly lumped into the same category so I shouldn't say it is a 'totally different' breed however they have much different temperaments.
AmStaffs are smaller, less aggressive and have a much less 'pit bull' looking head and build. Bull terriers are generally pieces of shit because they inherit the worst of both pit bulls and terriers.
It's possible though that the owners know saying it's a pitbull will sound bad so they choose to call it a different breed name thst doesn't sound like pitbull. While the actual animal is a pitbull or another unstable variation.
AmStaffs are generally purebreds, they rarely have aggressive tendencies.
A lot of pit bull owners pretend their pits are AmStaffs for this exact reason.
AmStaffs seem to be mostly just pits with a new name to try and duck the deserved horrible reputation from what I've seen on the banpitbulls sub on reddit.
That's the problem, it isn't the same breed.
Pit bull owners all want to pretend their dogs are AmStaffs so they are allowed in rental apartments / restaurants / etc that ban pit bull breeds.
Since it is one of the closest breeds it is the most commonly faked breed for a pit bull owner who is lying about their breed.
They are totally different animals in temperament.
