I believe gameness has varying degrees. I don't know anyone that disagrees with this statement. When selecting dogs or truly calling a "bulldog" game, I agree with Jack's statements above.

I know guys who describe dogs all the time who are very good dogs as "Dead Game" and they are still alive. I don't agree with this. I also don't believe b/c one "goes across" it is going across to win. Seen many "go" that you could clearly see the doubt in their eyes and shortly after that, they don't "go" anymore.

If two of my dogs go at it for 55 minutes, most likely, one or both are going to die. Had either one of these had extreme pressure put on them (as in a true bulldog) and sustained damage that would do more than make them a little stiff the next day, they may have both packed it in in 60 seconds.

You have a unique situation. I believe both dogs are game.......to an extent.
