Like i said before " a roll is a test of the dog,a match is a test of the man " As a famous old dogman once said " Give me a truly game dog with no mouth or ability and i'll beat your sorry ass 99 times out of 100 " Its a funny thing with those freaks when you sit around scratching your head and your arse at the same time wondering how this fast lane high ability wrecking machine suddenly quit on top ....and its usually called breeding. The fact that you would need 15 pups to find a good one tells me you dont know much about that either Quote Link to post

The fact that you would need 15 pups to find a good one tells me you dont know much about that either No mouth no ability I get what your saying but if you think about it when your going in for your match your going to be going against other truly game dogs once you've got that dog with no mouth and no ability against proper dogs going for the win your no mouth and no ability will start to show gameness is what your after but if it doesn't have the mouth and doesn't have that ability to back it up that dog is going to run into hot water once it's meets its match for gameness against another one as game with a good mouth and ability it will finish curs off other dogs that lack the ability Mouth I'd rather keep the game one with a mouth and ability to finish it off Quote Link to post

Aussie Whip 4,278 Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 Back on the gameness, a dog winning matches might not be that game at all. It could just have a crushing strong bite and good style but if it's matched against another dog with those qualities plus gameness, it will lose. I think that's why gameness is bred for first in these dogs. Quote Link to post
