Finishers

[SwampDweller]

A real finisher usually is very deliberate about it. They position themselves in such a way as to lay out their oppoent just right, or come underneath them just right when it is time. You can watch them set it up. I have seen plenty try to set it up and then not have the bite or drive to make it happen. I have seen others who know how to get ahead, and then when it is time they just do not have the foggiest idea what to do, other than shake or root a little bit perhaps, typically in flurries. The real finisher has spent every minute of the show waiting for the two spots to open up. It is rare, but a fantastic trait to strive for.

J. Damager's CH. PANDI 4xw; finished 3 of her 4 opponents, and never went pass the :37min mark. A true chest-eating maniac!

Ace Gr Ch Homer Balboa is as discribed above by TFX he will set you up for the Finish and he's throwing Finishers as well. Finishing his First of the 4 at 18 months the rest is History....

I saw this subject posted elsewhere, searched it here and found this gem of a thread.

Funny how Jack's description of a finisher back peddles by the end of the thread. lol What he was describing initially was a killer imo.

It is my belief that finish is the ultimate staying power (gameness), I'm not saying dogs without it can't be game or even dead game. But finish to me is the icing on the cake. This trait isn't diminished by the fact that they can't get to their spot to accomplish it, it is the fact that their will is to do it whenever the opportunity becomes available.

What breeder/family/dog produces a consistent high percentage of true finishers? I hear talk of the gambler's Virgil dogs, machobuck and abraham's bull dogs. If someone was looking to add this trait to their family of dogs, what breeder/family/dog should they go to. Please speak from experience.

Hit the nail on the head with this one.

Gr Ch Norrod's Iron Koko was a stone cold finisher in the [ ] and what's more was a notorious cannibal who would kill and eat any dog male or female that was unfortunate enough to get lose and enter her chain space. Due to her nature she was not bred a lot but dogs down from her knew how to finish.
