Basically, I look for a dog that never makes a bad move while he's doing the things I like to see dogs do.
If the dog gets that far away look in his eye, or in any way loses his focus or intensity, then I don't trust that dog anymore.
What I do is just see how my dogs look and perform and act while having a legitimate tussle with something GOOD their weight.
If they can go and go and go, and either win (or get picked up in a close one) still having total focus, then to me they are game enough to be competitive with whatever is out there.
The first shitty sign I see, I no longer have any interest in that dog. I don't need to beat the quit out of him.
Once I see any lack of total focus, I no longer trust or want that animal.
