Just a couple of quick rebuttle points (as I, also, didn't mean to hijack the thread).

The original bulldog was a butchers dog...the original Pit Bull Terrier was bred and developed for the pit. Of course, it sprang from the butchers/baiting dogs that were then crossed with terriers.

I'll agree that "game" or "gameness" is a term that is utilized (or misused) in different ways...but, there really is only one definition of game. While we may find the historical practice of matching dogs distasteful, it is part of the breeds history and what made/makes a well bred APBT a stable, unfailingly loyal dog that can complete most any task asked of it.

I never questioned your vocabulary or command of the English language...just trying to understand your point of view.

IMO what gives the breed a bad  rap is that probably 90% of the folks that own/breed them have no business doing so in the first place.
