If a dog dies DG how does it get gamer than that? I guess this is where you have to start splitting hairs.

If a dog dies DG because "he ran out of blood" ... that might not be the same level of gameness as it would take to get your face eat off (as the dogs we're talking about did).

There is no way to really tell which of these dogs is "gamer" ... as each dog faced a similar style, each dog eventually prevailed and won, and each dog suffered the same fate.

The only real difference is one went 90+ min on a (presumably) smaller card, while the other went 2:10 on a huge international convention.

Neither dog will never be able to go again; both dogs deserve to have the balls bred off them forever.

You are correct in your entire reply and I agree, 100% with your reply.

For these dogs to prove this type of gameness is, yes, incredible. But to shift gears, when is enough enough and you should pick that dog up. Personally, call me a softy, but I just can't let my dog get to that point. I really don't think I can. This is a dog that, if he does survive, will remain in hiding for the remainder of his life, which is fine for him, but a hassle for any legal living citizen. Can't share it with anyone really without risk. If you do pick him up, you never knew he was THIS game, but you have a dog with little to fewer handicaps. If you leave him down and he survives this, you KNOW what kind of game he is, but you have a dog with half a head and health issues to manage.

Just rambling and I'm not a psychopath, so no doubt, this type of thing with these dogs makes me question anything done with them in this regard. Then you have the other side of the coin. THESE DOGS WOULD NOT EXIST if this had never been experimented with/trained/schooled/bred for, etc.

AH, the double edged sword cuts both ways so deep.
