bobby blackheart 1,209 Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 The willingness to continue. And keep going no matter what is put in front of them-weather its the terrain or the quarry-not all dogs have this-dont confuse Hardness/recklessness as being game as a hard dog is only hard when on its own terms- -some get lucky and last afew seasons but give up when the going gets real tough-imho. atb Quote Link to post
stevie g 2005 125 Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 gameness for me is a dog that uses what ever means it takes to get the job done i prefare to use the word determination hardness is not to be confused with gameness a 10 inch russell that works its quarry and stays till dug without taking much stick is as game as the dog that goes in and likes to get stuck in the one thing both need to do tho is stay till dug ive seen smashem type dogs that got stuck in dug over many times then low and behold they decide its not for them and come away or refuse to enter no gameness there they were just bullies that when getting good as they give bottled it some lads think a game dog is a mute dog that wont give an inch as long as he satys till dug hes game same as the we 10 inch russell that stays till dug they just have diff working styles i agree dee staying to the job done is what all terrier men should be setting there standards bye but i dont like them to be to small in size as in the right earths with educated quarry they do get push about no matter how much will to stay they have i do like theem to have the right size and structure for the job 1 Quote Link to post
yanto bach 9 Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 True gameness to me is.... when whatever the circumstances dictate, whether in the square or in the earth, when the chips are down the will to continue and finish the job is the only consideration, in the true game dogs head it's only a matter of time for the desired outcome whether a kill or a hold untill dug to. Or to simplify does not quit Quote Link to post
