Should Showing EXTREME GAMENESS be Part of DOY Candidacy?

I always thought that gameness was the name of the game but if he look at it in this sense then Hallie Berry should've been considered

Who did she beat/time?

Extreme Gameness should qualify a dog for DOY status, due to the trickery. One should also add more titles so that the level of honesty is balanced as well. If not a lot of key things will continue to go unnoticed.

Never would I do such a thing. If a dog shows the will to never quit, regardless of what happens to him. He deserves to live in my book. JMO

Yeah, this guy Pit Bull Committed needs to be committed.

He speaks about breeding top quality animals "through culling" ... but I'm not sure if he's ever actually bred a top quality, Champion-defeating animal

As best as I can tell, hard-culling produces nothing ... only breeding decisions produce dogs.

No one that I know of, who actually has bred top-quality animals, culls exceptionally-game dogs.

That is the mark of an idiot/dog-butcher, but not a dogman.

I do agree that ability is certainly important, of course it's important, but dogmen treasure gameness above all else ... you don't kill exceptionally-game dogs.

I voted NO. I think DOY is a performance title. I would like to think it means for the period of that year a certain dog won over the stiffest of competition. I do not know a lot about this year's odds on favorite (PBB DOY) but the fact he won as many as he did and beat a dog who had won just about as many as he did would get my vote for DOY.

If one of the dog's he totally outclassed yet made those chin scraping, legs broken scratches were on the ballot I would not vote him for DOY. But if there was a category for GameDog of the Year that dog that showed that gameness would get my vote, and the winner/loser would not factor in.

I consider DOY as the best total package dog for that given year. I think it was in a previous post, but the gamest dogs find themselves on the 'losing' side of the bracket, simply by running into a more talented/higher ability dog. And, unfortunately, and I do not agree, that 'losing game dog' often ends up seen as a plug. If that same dog did the exact same thing, yet won, for whatever reason, his gameness is deemed more valuable.

I like the idea of having multiple year end titles. I like the idea of Kennel of the Year, and maybe even Producer of the Year as well. No other 'organization' has just one year end award. I mean at 9PM the Oscars come on, they make one award announcement, and then its if off by 9:04.

I would love to see another category "Gamest DOY". For me, and it is my personal opinion, GDOY would be more impressive than DOY. EWO
