This is just a collection of stills of game dogs. It does have a few dogs with some scarring and a couple (non graphic) shots of dogs in the pit, just as a warning to anyone who may be bothered by this. I'm posting this because, well, I just adore game dogs so much. And it makes me so sad that the seeming majority of "pit bull" people nowadays just totally have turned their back on the real APBT, ignoring what these dogs have gone through, and have ceased to admire the core of the breed. These are the dogs that caused me to fall in love with the APBT, aka PIT BULL, and eventually get into advocacy and rescue. NOT Pit Mutts in shelters, not a BYB dog my neighbors bred, not some mega huge drooly "Bully". These real APBTs. (Just my story, no offense meant to anyone ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) ) P.S. How many of these dogs would be passed over as "lab mixes" in a shelter setting? I wonder what DNA testing results would show?

My first exposure to game dogs (probably like many others after the eighties) was through Stratton. But I became educated at a couple ADBA shows in so. Jersey, where I picked up a reprint og George Armitage's book from the early thirties chronicling his exploits. That really opened my eyes and I became ravenous for information after that.
Today's "advocates" need an education, for sure.
