They have a title of their own Jack, GIS. Like Mister said some of the gamest dogs to ever crawl didn't' have the ability to win. Often times when a dog shows extremely game they either were outclassed ability wise or they were neutralized by an equal opponent.Quote:

Performance (beating equally titled dogs)
Ability and Smarts

Gameness!

Isn't Dog of the Year to separate the best-of-the-best?
If we're going to go over and above the already-existing titles of BIS/CH/GR CH, and add another title (Dog of the Year) ... for ability ... why don't we *also* give some extra title to the extremest of extreme game dogs for all the GIS winners?
Also, to say that just because a dog lost, "it doesn't have the ability to win," is a pretty far stretch.
Ozzie's Homer didn't have the ability to win, against Jeep, at 2 lb below his best weight, C/H by Stepps (as opposed to fighting at his best weight 44 lb, in Ozzie's hands), but that doesn't mean Ch Homer "didn't have the ability to win" ... AT ALL ... Homer just didn't have it that day, at that weight, in those hands. But his gameness was so extreme as to be remembered, historically, more than 99.99% of any Gr Ch ever.
So let me say this again: we already have titles for ability: CH/Gr Ch/BIS ... and DOY ... that is 4 different ways to confer glory to winners ... and yet we only have ONE way to confer glory to our GAME dogs :-O :-q
That sucks IMO.
Why shouldn't there be equal consideration given to the extremest of game dogs of our sport?
The more I think about it, the more the title of Game Dog of the Year is a title that is long, long, long overdue :-? :-bd

Focus on the fact that Homer did lost. Can't just assumed that he would've could've won if he was in different hands and at the correct weight. Not saying you don't have a point. All I'm saying is that the fact is that Homer did lost.
For gamest dog of year I'll go with CH.Lotto he showed what a game dog is suppose to be. Or even CH.Texas damn it I'm rambling now lol
Yeah, I could swear another name these dogs go by is GAME Dogs (not "ability" dogs).Quote:

IMO, the GAME dogs who have done things like this are no less remarkable ... and they deserve our highest HONORS also ... not just a "footnote" :idea:

I don't need your help in what to focus on, son.Quote:

I am not responsible if you don't know enough to realize what a different weight, and a different keep, can bring out in a dog :idea:
Did he lose in 2014?Quote:
