I think theres a lot of romanticism in the history of game dogs tbh. It's a gamblers sport and with money can come lies.
Some would strive for that 'hot' blood, Neil. I know of two very well bred pups that met recently. Similar age, bred by the same kennels but completely different acting
One was hot and taking full bites and wouldnt stop pestering, the other was much more chilled, actually ran away quite a lot and only occasionally fought back. One nips all the time and the other has still not even nipped human flesh. One is very independant and one loves nothing more than following i
