I voted No. It certainly could add to a dogs resume to have to show his heart but is not necessary.
We should not fault a dog for being superior to his opponent.
YES: Gameness is the essence of the breed, and dogs who show it to the extreme are deserving.
NO: The DOY title should only be about performance.

How could anyone Vote against a "True Game Dog" as "D.O.Y"?? Animal's such as BlackRocks' "NAZI", Not only should been a D.O.Y in his era. He's a dog of a "LIFETIME"! I.M.O ...G.I.S and lose,, im not going to vote...but, but the a dog who go past the boundaries of there ability, and pull out a win should NOT be ignored.

Man when I was just looking thru some peds I came across him being bred nd couldnt believe what I saw. I said Damn how's he even alive let alone being bred lol... Dogs that display extreme gameness win or lose should not be overlooked let alone forgotten....Originally Posted by BULLDOG ANONYMOUS
Exactly.
Why we don't honor dogs that show exceptional gameness is a travesty to me.
As mentioned, we actually have 5 ways, not 4, to honor ability (BIS, 1x/2x, Ch, Gr Ch ... and, at the end of the year, DOY) ... while we only have 1 way to honor gameness (GIS) which can't even be awarded on a 1-card show (while wins/Ch/Gr Ch/DOY can).
It is time to have yearly accolades for the truly game dogs of our sport ... and that time is now

I guess since this is the best database I say Let's Take The Bull By The Horns and start honoring them brave, great animals. I also agree with you Jack, I'd walked past Jeep and went straight to Homer if I had a bitch in heat.Exactly.

I think we start a new award for Gameness here! Cause to me there is nothing more beautiful than a dog showing deep gameness.
Ch MC Bulldog's Jorge 5xw 1xlg 1xd is a great example...so is Dirttowns(Ablizins) Chavis
Okay, let's keep it going for gamest dog of 2014.
The Nazi dog Redrum bred can't be counted, as he went a couple years ago, but I am going to toss in one of mine Wildschild's Prime Ape who won a tough one in 1:43. Was a natural finisher who was never behind and couldn't find an opponent because of this ... then someone brought what they thought was "the dog" to beat him. Prime Ape swarmed this dog, but got hurt severely at :19, and then tried to hold the dog out for over an hour, injured. This dog finally got through Prime Ape's defense, flipped him, and hit him in the ass-end, and that is usually where the fat lady starts to sing ... when the defensive dog is down, and getting killed, deep in the trenches.
Well, Prime Ape was not finished, and he managed to get up, with the dog still in his ass end, but Prime Ape couldn't reach his nose ... so he just grabbed a shoulder, and shook, and shook, and shook ... until the other dog came out ... and Prime Ape, injured more now, once again re-established control and stopped the dog a little while later.
I admit my bias, lol, but I honestly don't care how the dog was bred, any dog that is a down dog getting rooted in the guts/ass-end, after having its defenses breached that deep into a deal ... but still makes a comeback like that ... shows uncommon resolve and determination to win IMO
He is not my official vote, but I do believe his effort is worthy of consideration.
The Chavis dog Hushman mentioned sounds like an incredible animal also
Jack
I'll go with CH.Lotto he took what most would not and would of been then all night long.
I always thought that gameness was the name of the game but if he look at it in this sense then Hallie Berry should've been considered
