I'm totally fine with bite work too. I'm OK training the APBT for protection sports (French Ring, IPO, etc.) however I'm not OK with training the APBT for real protection work (not sport). With real protection work I think you can easily start to breed them for HA since they're job is to be a man stopper.

"In any sporting event the object is to win. If a guy has to breed in a certain direction to win in a particular event then that is no different than a game dog guy breeding for gameness.

Tons of game dog guys have bred to freaks or aces, and better yet bought puppies off of freaks and aces, who never displayed gameness based on physical skill."

That's true.
