APBT blood in "old time" Staffordshire bull terriers

Re: APBT blood in "old time" Staffordshire bull terriers

you can call it what you will in europe but here in america a terrier is known to have grit not gameness when outside a matching box

 

Re: APBT blood in "old time" Staffordshire bull terriers

gameness is the willingness to fight another animal at the same level, with the same will to dominate and conquer. varmint fight to survive the attack and escape, that is not gameness

 

Re: APBT blood in "old time" Staffordshire bull terriers

What are you talking about, a badger is at a higher level than a working Terrier and some dogs take their death trying to dominate such animals, that is GAMENESS.

 

Re: APBT blood in "old time" Staffordshire bull terriers

Grit, Gameness whatever you want to call it, APBT's and working Terriers are defiantly worth their place in any kennels, they're unique to the dog world.

 

Re: APBT blood in "old time" Staffordshire bull terriers

why do they dig when they are confronted by terriers?

 

Re: APBT blood in "old time" Staffordshire bull terriers

What are you talking about? We're not talking about the quarry we're talking about the dogs.

 

Re: APBT blood in "old time" Staffordshire bull terriers

i never heard a dogman say my bulldog is "grit", and it's silly for a so called terrier man to say my terrier just fought a coon or badger and he/she is "game". the word gameness only has one meaning and that fact wasn't and will never be earned in the field hunting animals fighting to escape and live another day.

do you let your terriers finish the quarry every time? or if you dont have any terriers, do terriermen let their terriers finish off the varmints everytime?

 

Re: APBT blood in "old time" Staffordshire bull terriers

have you ever dug to badgers? how many had stayed there and take it and fight till death?

 

Re: APBT blood in "old time" Staffordshire bull terriers

I sure as hell have heard working Terriers called game over here, by the sounds of it you've never seen a Terrier or a Badger in action for that matter.

A Terrier isn't going to finish a grown Badger on itself but they will finish a Fox, Terriers have lost their lives battling such creatures when they could have turned their backs and got the hell out of there, it was their GAMENESS that kept them there.

 

Re: APBT blood in "old time" Staffordshire bull terriers

The aim of the game is to dig to the quarry and despatch or relocate especially where Badgers are concerned. Plenty of Terriers have died working Fox and Badger but the aim of the game is to dig to the quarry, a terrier ain't killing no Badger a Fox is a different matter.

 

Re: APBT blood in "old time" Staffordshire bull terriers

they call their terriers game because they dont know any better, i dont care if they have 100 years of digging. an animal fighting out of fear, like varmints do will never test any terrier to be game.

 

Re: APBT blood in "old time" Staffordshire bull terriers

and that is why the word game isn't for terriers fighting scared animals under or above ground. bulldogs have been chosen and selected to prove their gameness in the box, but even a beagle can prove to be game, but is definitely not done outside of the four walls

 

Re: APBT blood in "old time" Staffordshire bull terriers

You don't call them GAME because you're ignorant. Are you for real?? A Badger is a hell of a lot more dangerous to a Patterdale than another one of the same breed. Believe you me Patterdales are a GAME breed.

 

Re: APBT blood in "old time" Staffordshire bull terriers

Do you even know what GAME means, the word wasn't created to describe a dogs willing to fight in the box.

Re: APBT blood in "old time" Staffordshire bull terriers

ok the best of luck with your game terriers

 

Re: APBT blood in "old time" Staffordshire bull terriers

Yeah and same to you with your Gritty Bull Terrier mix.

 

Re: APBT blood in "old time" Staffordshire bull terriers

Bloody too right they will test the gameness of a terrier....especially in natural earths...gameness was the word used to describe "Grit in terriers" before the apbt was recognised in America, I think the meaning of gameness has been misappropriated by pitbull fanciers.

 

Re: APBT blood in "old time" Staffordshire bull terriers

Round n round n round is goes..where it stops..nobody knows...

 

Re: APBT blood in "old time" Staffordshire bull terriers

You must eather be very ignorend or have NO exsperiense at al.
First of al 90% of the working Terriers known to man COMES FROM THE UNIGHTED KINGDOM. That means the uk EUROPE.
Terrier comes from the word Terra withs is latin for earth!!. Now to realy rock ore pop your bubble where do you think the name ""PIT"" bull Terrier comes from. Il tell you PIT means HOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!./ Coal mine / Terrier where used to kill of the rodaens in the coal mines ore coal PIT,s . They divelopt into a sport up ground to be bred and sold to coal mine companies... to make sure not to many man died of varius diseases that came along with the roadens/varmits watever...... they where tested bij killing rats and varmits and where focht in a SIMULATED Hole known and named >>>>THE PIT<<<.............. I have NEVER hear ore seen a Euro Terrier man named the caracter of his dogs GRIT but GAMENNES. for te record that to is a EUROPEAN word... Gamennes is NOT the willingness to fight BUT the refusal to be the lesser one!!!!!!. every dog has a willingness to fight, but its the wil to refuse to be the lessr one that makes them able to sacrifise there lives. you D..mb ass.
