    Extreme Gameness should qualify a dog for DOY status, due to the trickery. One should also add more titles so that the level of honesty is balanced as well. If not a lot of key things will continue to go unnoticed.

    Never would I do such a thing. If a dog shows the will to never quit, regardless of what happens to him. He deserves to live in my book. JMO

    Yeah, this guy Pit Bull Committed needs to be committed.

    He speaks about breeding top quality animals "through culling" ... but I'm not sure if he's ever actually bred a top quality, Champion-defeating animal

    As best as I can tell, hard-culling produces nothing ... only breeding decisions produce dogs.

    No one that I know of, who actually has bred top-quality animals, culls exceptionally-game dogs.

    That is the mark of an idiot/dog-butcher, but not a dogman.

    I do agree that ability is certainly important, of course it's important, but dogmen treasure gameness above all else ... you don't kill exceptionally-game dogs.

    I'm with this also and if gameness comes into account with elite dogs on the grand stage with eachother. We all still will be looking more at the Grand stage.
