If we insist on using the non-thinking word "cur," and define it as "any dog that will quit," then all dogs are curs.

With the right helpings of poor health, human stupidity, odds stacked against it, etc. every dog will quit.

If we want to be the eternal skeptic, and question everything, then even dogs that have "never" quit and have shown extreme gameness under ONE set of circumstances, only didn't because they weren't exposed to the right circumstances.

Gameness is like ability ... it comes in varying degrees.

We want extremes in both; but no dog is perfect/flawless/infallible, etc.

Some dogs are blatantly flawed; some are above average; some are spectacular.

Still (and again) with the right helpings of poor health, human stupidity, odds stacked against it, etc. every dog can be induced to quit.
