EWO, I agree each dog should be given the opportunity to quit. As well as given the opportunity to continue...im simply saying that without a courtesy scratch the other is not given the opportunity to do anything but stand in your arms. Once the opponent quits, it should be the others chance/opportunity to quit or continue, if he wants to continue declare him winner. That in my opinion is 100% fair rule wise. But on the flip side i do see the logic in not wanting to ask your dog to charge into battle again.
