To some it is all about weights. To some their loyalty lies in the desire to stand on top of the winning dog. To some standing on top of the winning dog is a better shake than preserving a family or perpetuating a bloodline. If that meant winning over the dog's brother or even the handler's brother, the loyalty is to winning, more so than dog fighting.

I'm with you on this post. Its just 2 different sides of the fence. All of those things scream competitor except preserving the family or perpetuating a bloodline part. We were using the great Ch vs great Ch littermate example. What if one of the dogs was a hard mouthed cur that ran through all of his schoolings. His littermate bro gets hooked into him and causes him to pack it in short order because he cant take qhat he dishes out. Thats preserving the bloodline. Keeping the inferior cur brother from ever being bred in the first place.
