the original pit bulls were butcher's dogs in england before they were selected for dog aggression.  they had enough prey drive and game to lock on to a grown bull's nose, cork screw their body, and put that bull on the ground for the butcher. that was before they were ever used for fighting.

i think we should work to take the dog aggression back out of them, while leaving the high prey drive and "gameness" in them.  the word "game" is used in different ways by different people. the way i used it i was referring to dog aggression.  if you ask a scum bag, i mean dog fighter, what game means.  he'll tell you the dog will still scratch even when he's almost dead.  A dog that will bleed out while holding a pig, but won't scratch, is not game in his eyes, but i guess it is in yours. i have a good vocabulary and strong command of the english language, thanks anyway.

you say dog aggression shows up in different levels in different dogs.  i agree, and i think a dog hellbent on fighting other dogs has no place in a hunting pack.

human aggression in NOT the ONLY thing that gives the breed a bad rap.
