"Pit" is not a breed. It is a designation based on physical characteristics.
Just refer to it as a "terrier mix" as "Pits" are usually that (e.g., staffordshire terriers, bull terriers.)

Maybe I am misunderstanding you, but American Pit Bull Terrier is definitely a breed.

I said that in my post that. But most people refer to "pit bull" as a breed. It is not. It is usually a catch-all based on physical characteristics and includes the Am Bull Terrier.
