a gamebred dog that isn’t dog aggressive is useless though wilf surely 

A truly brave fighting bull often has something called 'nobility' . Or is described as such. When it's in the ring it will repeatedly charge the picadors even though it's being punished, will keep looking back at them even when it's lead away. When it's passed with the muleta or small red cloth it will simply charge at it, never searching for the man but charging the target that is used to challenge it. When a bull like that is pardoned they will often leave the ring like a pussy cat, calmly following the steers from the ring or excepting a stroke from the herds man that bred it.

I know nothing about game dogs at all. I just wondered if there was an element of something similar in a truly game pit dog or if the aggression is completely different. I've read about individual game dogs being good with kids or men, or being different in different situations. Just got me wondering that's all

What would happen if you bumped into another dog while out walking it off the lead, a farm Collie barking at it say or a dog on a lead? Just out of interest?

To be honest mate he was rarely on a lead, he was reared like a lurcher and was quite trustworthy. He was kenneled with three lurcher bitches.  There were a couple of incidents in the ten or so years I had him but best left unsaid.

That would be my modern day impression of them, obviously my only knowledge would be from media stories.

My mates once a a lurcher with a lot of pit in it. Fck it was some weapon and you couldn't have anything but respect for it and what it did. On the lamp it was fantastic and came to a recall and would ignore sheep. In the day if it escaped you could follow the trail of dead sheep and destruction until you found it

some are aren’t they but if i was handling em i would want it  

No, you wouldn’t !…..I have done man work with dogs and the last thing you want to train a dog to that level is one that will take your face off of its own accord.

Anyway, let’s not take the thread off track, it’s about a specific kind of dog and there’s men with a specific kind of knowledge talking about it, so let’s enjoy huh

Ive personally seen and been told of ch bulldogs that were safe around other dogs and pups unless it was time to go to work.A pal had a little very well known bitch that could be loose with and walked out with other dogs as long as they behaved but hold her between your legs and she'd go into anything.Another good friend who I met when I was a kid in the 80s had a ch dog that he could put in the back of his car with his 3 british bulldogs and take him down the park and he wouldnt look at another dog unless he spotted his own kind

There, that’s what I’m talking about.

Cheers mate, very informative

Now we all know it’s not a one size fits all for dogs, dogs like people, have different natures and traits but it’s interesting to hear that being a liability isn’t a requirement
