    i used to have one when I was doing a lot of driving. The plastic ear grip split so I super glued it back together. By the time I got to Newcastle the fecking thing really was stuck to my ear!

    Gameness has nothing to do with drive.................drive is a physical thing gameness is all mental.....................you say it would be suicidal for a Greyhound to be as fast in the wild.......yes as it would be for a Bulldog to extremely game in the wild.....................hence both breeds have a certain trait that has been heightened by man that if not heightened by man would not be there to such a level....................ie its not natural its man made. Gnasher, I'd have to disagree, it's not man made, it's nature , but man manipulated Blimey thats being picky ..............no o

    I know where you are coming from, but is that true gameness? Or just drive? Or is that us humanising predators?

    if gameness is only found in bulls then surely only physical differences would make a winner or loser but that is as we both know is not true so whatever it is all dogs don't posses it and if thats the case then it can not be restricted to a single breed but rather as you say a trait in particular individuals it takes more than gameness to make a good match dog, infact, some of the best dogs never had their gameness fully tested because they had so many other tools in the box they had the job finished before gameness was ever brought to play. you should always breed for gameness, but when choo

    Unless an outcrossing has been added since the mid to late 1700's then a lack of prey drive has been bred out, not in!

    Where is game ness from then , can you just create it?? If you class gameness as a genetic trait, then it's the same as stamina or intelligence. It's out there in the gene pool of all dogs in greater or smaller amounts. Man has tested and selectively bred certain breeds for gameness to magnify that attribute. Wether you class that as creation is down to your own ego

    Good post mate, when a terrier is battling with a wild animal and losses' its jaw in the battle but still carries on is that not gameness? terriers have fought to the their death with quarry would that not be dead game? genuine question? True, they are game little earth dogs, but if pressed that hard in the open, not in a block end, would they try and exit stage left? Or maybe that's the difference between a good bayer and a good slayer A game bull should seek to go on, and hard what ever.

    Game ness in a dog bred for the pit is far removed from anything a wild critter would need as an attribute to survive. If any fight were to get to that level, they would seek any opportunity to leg it to safety. Not come back up to scratch. Drive/fight and flight are both needed to survive. Any critter that was that game in the wild, would more than likely be snuffed out before it was able to pass on that attribute to its progeny. The bull breeds were created by man. And then ruined by the same

    I wouldnt trust any dog with kids 100 % even if i'd had it since it whelped. But the bigger the dog, and/or the more reactive/powerful its nature, the more cautious I would be. If I had kids (cannot stand the buggers!) I wouldnt keep some of the dogs I do now, and they sure as hell wouldnt be in the house

    Wether you breed worker to worker, or pet to pet, you are trying to stack the odds in your favour. It doesn't mean that one cannot be the other, and vice versa. Do bull breeds make good pets? Then hell yes! If they don't, could it end up messy? Hell yes! I've had a fair bit to with rescue dogs over the last 30 years. But I would in no scenario recommend putting a 10 stone plus mastiff (rescue or otherwise) with a toddler. It's a shame common sense is such a rare thing

    Seen or heard? On here? Not arguing, just asking
  22. trenchfoot
    Thats as may be in dogs bred with no purpose..........but dogs bred for purpose throughout the generations nature will often play a far bigger part than nurture. So why is it then that the dog men on here buy lurchers or terriers from working lines then after a season pts because it hadn't made the mark? Not dog men!
