levels of gameness.

[Officially Retired]

So what do you think about gameness related to maturity?
Would a 16 month old fully started dog show the same (level of) gameness as the same dog 2 years later in the same situation?

That is a great point.

Gameness varies within EACH individual dog ... at different ages ... in different states of health ... and against different opponents/challenges/sets of circumstances.

People try to make gameness so "cut and dry," but it really is a complex trait and subject that warrants more chin-rubbing than most people are willing to give it.
