It sounds to me like Dog A would be more of a candidate for being a cur than Dog B, if Dog A started right up and quit, while Dog B just tried to "fight back" and never really started.

Did you really do your part? I am not sure any top dogman I know would call tossing 2 green dogs together, without schooling either one, and then rendering judge and jury "doing your part."

I think, deep down, you know you failed to take a lot of steps ... which is why you're posting this here

The bottom line is you took short-cuts and are now second-guessing yourself. Had you fully-schooled each animal, and not thrown 2 green dogs together, where one grabbed the other and then "let go" after a few minutes, you wouldn't have any doubts at all. However, because deep down in your bones you know you skipped a lot of steps going from "untouched" to "judged", you're here second-guessing the scenario.

To me it sounds like your partner wants to be sure, and you don't want to be bothered with it.

I think this is only sensible and fair.
