They don't have to be aces, but I do not want a leg dog.
I would overlook the first few rolls, as they're just learning, but after they had their bearings, if I saw "a front leg shaker" I would sell it cheap as a "dud" from my program.
It simply was NOT what I wanted.

Silverback never grabbed a front leg in his life. He was on the ear, on the muzzle, or in the throat. Period.
Icon never grabbed a front leg in his life. He was on the ear, or in the throat. Period.
U-Nhan-Rha, never grabbed a front leg in his life. He was on the face, in the mouth, on the ear, or in the throat. Period.

You get what you breed for

This was truly informative. I had no idea you could breed for style of battle. I have heard of breeding for mouth, so I guess breeding for a specific style makes sense. I always thought that if you chased teeth all the time, or stifles, or heads, or what have you, the gameness of your stock suffered. Maybe start w/really game dogs (of whatever style) & then "layer on" preferred style w/dogs that fight w/whatever style you're looking for as you go? I am obviously no breeder, lol.

U-Nhan-Rha is a good looking little dog.
