sandymere 8,263 Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 Interesting the idea of gameness and aggression, greyhounds are game, they will drive their bodies to destruction to get contact with their quarry, well past the point most dogs would throw the towel in but not overly aggressive as a rule. Aggression is a different thing and as has been noted it doesn’t always collate with gameness and many aggressive dogs that start a fight don’t like to get it back. Fighting bred dogs are different, I don’t mean bull crosses from non fighting lines, but real fighting dogs. I’ve posted before about one I had, bull and wheaten that had grandsires on both sides used in the pit. He was ok for a year or so but once he started he was a nightmare, those who have dogs that fight ain’t seen nothing, he didn’t fight other dogs, he killed them, trust me when you see it its completely different. That was part of him, not nurture just pure nature, all bar one of his litter were put down for the same and the one not was kept locked up in a shed. Aggressive lurchers are capable of doing a lot of damage but its not gameness it aggression and is just as likely to come from collie ancestors as any bull in their make up. 13 Quote Link to post

SheepChaser 8,083 Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 You do realise lots of folk use bull for other reasons than just being hard / game? Having said that I don’t think you will find a x with the same level or drive and determination when the chips are down. Quote Link to post
