How old is the dog that quit?
If it's young, I wouldn't worry about it.
If it's older, and schooled, it simply quit.

THANKS FOR REPLYING JACK,HE'S 2 1/2yrs I HAD HIGH HOPES FOR HIM.
Usually you are saposed to wait at least until they are 2 years of age, where as you are giving your pet time to mature.
U have claimed your pet to have been 2 1/2 years old, i would say he has matured and turn on, but i can be wrong simply because some dogs mature at diffenernt times and rate's and also i have never owned or seen him.
U have been with him since a pup so i u should now if your boy turned on yet,
what does he do when you bring him close around another hound?
Just keep in mind that any dog can quit depending on how much you put on him
I am not 1 to make axcusses for my hounds,I feel I will never get any where doing that.But,there are some factors that my kennel partner brung to the table that I will consider.He will be healed and looked at & I will let yall know how he pans out.
If he walked away he would have to go. Still no one was there to say what happen. Maybe the other balled up and submitted and he isn't a finisher. I still wouldn't be ok but I've seen those type win and a game one make them finish them cause they want submit.
Although this bulldog would have "no" place on my yard, this is a decision you will have to make.
There are no rules in this area, only an allowance of temperance depending upon the owner. I for one follow a strick guidline as it relates to gameness and the breed.
Your decision is yours!
I have seen a well known 2X winner that was deeply game and had finished a dog simply walk away from 3 dogs he mixed it up with in a yard accident situation. Outside of the box is a totally different deal IMO. I had an old dog that I could call off of a cat if he was chasing one, and who ran around with a Cocker Spaniel and a Labrador on camping trips. When you stepped over a wall though, he would go with anything including a bitch. I wouldn't evaluate a dog in a yard accident situation, or any situation outside of 4 walls. On the flip side, how many have "killed one" in a yard accident that couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag in a real roll or show? Inconsistincies in yard accident situations flow both directions, and thereby hold little bearing on how I would feel about a dog.
Interesting rebuttal. Have to rub my chin on that one.Originally Posted by TFX
I am not sure that what a dog did "before" in a match has any effect on what he'll do the next time out ... as there have also been dogs that were 2xWs, deeply game in the last showing, who just quit in the next match to "a different dog" the next time around. So what about that?
Case in point, the 2xW Poncho/Mayday dog Murder beat a 6xW Grand Champion for #2, and yet when he faced an unusual adversary (that was a freak-mouth dog that grabbed the paws, and broke them off, he couldn't take that and quit.
IMO, sometimes dogs who show exceptionally-game "once" ... just don't have it in them to "go through that again" ... and, in other instances, dogs that will show "dead game" to one dog ... whose style they're used to ... can get confused and quit to a badass dog who whips their ass in such a way they've never experienced before.

Not an excuse but the second hound was a female that he walked off from.That is why I said I woud test him again,because I wasn't there.
