I own and work them because they do the job well. I would not say that my dogs are "game" but I would say that a dog that can catch and hold a wild hog several times his size until he is taken off no matter what happens is pretty tough and tenacious. I do not agree that taking the dog aggression out of a pit makes them less of a dog at all. I can't have the DA and won't tolerate it on my yard. It makes a dog useless to me, and it's annoying.
