Also, my placing my opinions here at least gives everyone a chance to provide feeback ... correct me ... add additional info, etc.

So it really is a global decision-making effort ... rather than some magazine editor "deciding" what dog is what, with virtually no feedback (and no transparency).

Like I said, there were a lot of past DOYs that I would not have chosen myself.

Fine dogs, yes.
DOY material? No.

The selected Pit Bull Bible DOY winner is going to have to be truly special ... and the process to make that decision is going to be a completely transparent process ... so there is no BS (and no "politics") involved.

I will never accept, or reject, ANY dog based on blood/personality/friendship/ etc.

Our decision will always be based on DOG MERIT WITHIN THE PRESCRIBED YEAR
