Damn, so with that logic, if a dog will scratch after only 30 minutes it's game?

I dunno about being able to call a dog game after a couple of scratches...
If it curs out in a match and you called it game you were dead wrong. I go with the second definition, cause thats what it is. Oh yeah the thing wouldn't let me vote either. Good thread, gonna get hot!

I think there is grit, determination, stalwartness... all things that can be proven outside the pit. But with all the things that come attached to the infamous "G" word, we should be pretty clear about its useage. Gameness has it's useage in activities other than the pit, but the truest -- and many would say the only -- way to determine if a dog actually has it is to put them down against another good dog.

Gameness is not the willingness to continue fighting, in any definition. In short, gameness can somewhat be described by simply the willingness to continue, under all adversity and animosity, for the sake of improvement. However, in detail, the continuance is not to be misinterpreted as succeeding; being succeeded is the ultimate goal of gameness.



Gameness does not describe anything that is perfect, simply because there is no such thing. The strive for perfection can never quite be accomplished. But, for one to strive for near perfection, never falter on a decision made, learn from obstacles and implement the strengthening of weaknesses can be described as gameness.



The idea of gameness is to be fluent and to adapt to any task at hand.



Knowledge is knowing the path, experience is to understand it.



Gameness can not be achieved or grasped as it is not a title or an award. Gameness is a perspective and can only be perceived in a competitive event where learning from an opposing opponent is relevant.

Interesting article,

Anyone who has ever witnessed Pit Bull aggression is usually shocked by the level of ferocity these dogs display. The come hard, with everything they have, and do not stop coming. What most do not realize is that this has long been a desirable and positive trait of the breed. It is called gameness. Only the Pit Bulls have gameness. Essentially, it is the undying determination to keep going despite pain, injury, or insurmountable odds. What many do not also realize is that gameness was bred into these animals for a reason.

Dog fighting has not always been a bloodsport as witnessed today. In the 19th Century, it was much more a gentleman's sport, with integrity and much accolade. Owners rarely allowed their dogs to fight to the death. When the least sign of submission was displayed, the animals were taken apart and the loser conceded. They were prize fighters at a time when America was rising in power and proving its mettle. Life was hard and Americans were hardworking. They created a breed that matched their determination to succeed. The American Pit Bull Terrier had all these qualities and more.

Pit Bulls were selected and culled on the traits of their gameness. The size of the animal was irrelevant. In fact, the average weight of Pit Bulls then was 18-35 pounds. A smaller dog was often better skilled. They were the only breed that could take on dogs 100 pounds heavier than they and defeat them. Another glaring difference between the dogs of today and yesterday was the amount of human aggression displayed. Pit Bulls were quickly put down by their owners when any sign of human aggression presented itself in the early days. The handlers needed to have dogs they could tend to without being bitten. Over time, the Pit Bull earned a reputation for being human friendly. This trait still exists today, but it is slowly but surely being bastardized.

Gameness to me is something only one could describe by definition without seeing it first hand. I will never know what true gameness is because I am not a dog dogfighter. I think their is a big difference between a dog having drive and a dog possesing the gameness trait which is often desired by dogger's and is also rare because not every dog bred off champion fighters will posess that same gameness. I have read that dogger's are lucky to get at least 1 pup in an entire litter that has what it takes to become a champion fighter and posses that "gameness trait" . Unless you are an exp handler and know what to look for when testing your dog for gameness in the box you will never truly know or understand what gameness really is anything else is speculation. All I know about gameness is what I have read and the definition of what gameness means to a dogfighter IMO there is no need for gameness in our breed today because our breed is no longer being matched in the box therefore gameness does not matter to me. Historically I embrace gameness and what it was meant to be in another time and another place.
