I respect what you are saying, but I too respectfully disagree with the outing of the term "game" when it comes to an APBT. Try this for a read it is quite good and it is easy to understand. And BTW, don't chuckle but I'm the only one I know that has a gamebred petbull.......

What exactly is "gameness"?

Scott Bradwell and Wilf LeBlanc. The passages offset with ">"'s

I think it sums up in one place a lot of the discussion I've seen here in this post, I found it easy to read from a laymans perspective.
That is the first thing I read when I got into the breed. I still reccomend it to people. It's on the back of my Bulldog club's cards. I use this link though:http://www.nyx.net/~mbur/apbt.html
but....
As Colby himself says the time for fighting has come and gone.
We have to understand the history of the breed while NOT glorifying it.

I agree. While a game dog discussion can be a learning experience, it is the first hand knowledge comments that are the problem. NOT the knowledge.

Although we begin to walk a very thin line between discussing the breed's history and current events that ARE very much illegal. I think if any references are made to REAL game dogs or any fighting that went on, it needs to be made crystal clear that these are past events. I realize that kind of contradicts the reason for the post...that modern game dogs don't exist (or rather, that they DO)...but you cannot expect the folks who created this board to break the law and/or allow discussion of breaking of the law by board members. Don't be arrogant about it...
I don't want folks to get the wrong impression about this board. I myself (and plenty of others who are more quick to judge and less quick to think) at one time thought game-dog was essentially an online convention of nothing but dog fighters. I don't doubt some of the members there DO fight dogs, but I've since learned otherwise. I don't want new folks to THIS board to walk away with my intial impression.
I also think that while it is important to educate folks on the difference between media protrayed dog fighting and what it really was, I think many of you would agree that very few people are capable of doing things the right way (if there IS a right way to allow dogs to rip each other up)...so why be so public about it? Yeah, you might prevent some punk from thinking he can train the pit bull he stole from his neighbor to fight, but at the same time, the kids still a punk, and won't be able to get his hands on any real game dogs anyway...much less appreciate them.
it is the first hand knowledge comments that are the problem.

Hmmmm. But yet Mr. Colby isn't penalized for what he used to do. In fact, he is highly regarded by most people on these boards. Colby states that there is no longer a place for fighting, but he never stated he was against it. So what makes this "new" guy any different?

Colby don't post here. If he did he would have to refrain from speaking of his present day exploits ( assuming he has present day exploits)
