when you say from "game dogs" im gonna assume you mean  bred from apbts that have been bred for and prooven in the pit. if so, you need to think about that when you ask about the propensity to fight other dogs . not that aggresion  and being game are related or that being one means the dog will be the other also. sometimes the aggresion/desire to fight can be controlled and some times it cant. just remember  you are culling for something that for many many generations was promoted in the dogs makeup. ive owned many game bred apbts years ago  and most wouldnt tolerate other dogs  . a few would but they were also dogs that werent considered breedworthy. ive owned and hunted with many american bulldogs and some would tolerate  a whole lot from other dogs yet were as solid a catchdog as ever walked. ive also hunted with alot of apbts owned by others that were very manageable for catchdogs too but a few eventually got fighty if the situation was right. now ive seen both types in the same litters too. so  just select and if you wanna breed some breed the traits you like to the traits you like.  still chance though as they are bulldogs. and in my mind we are asking a dog to take his death on a hog yet not fight other dogs and sometimes that just dont work. just my 2 cents, gary
