Have to disagree.

There are a gazillion dogs that were "game tested" before a match ... who failed to show game in their matches.

Just because a dog had some kind of game test in school is NOT the same thing as a dog showing extraordinary gameness in a match ... anymore than a dog doing well in school is the same thing as winning a match

To say, "My dog should be considered 'a game match dog' because he was tested in school," can't possibly be taken seriously.

Do you honestly think Ozzie's Homer was "tested as hard in school" as what he had to show in his match?

Ummmmm, no.

Again, the minor level what many dogs are willing to go through "in school" does not in any way approach what they might have to face for real in a match ...
