Why Love A Pitbull? By Tom Garner
If this needs to be moved to another section feel free to move it. But I found this in my book The Complete Gamedog and thought It covered some things that we've been discussing about why some of us love gamebred dogs so much.I bolded the things that really stood out to me.
Why love a pit bull? by Thomas M Garner.
Often in the course of my daily activities I am asked to explain how a mental health professional and humanist (not humaniac) can be so involved with an be appreciative of dogs whose instincts urge them to fight amongst themselves at every opportunity. Perhaps I invite such questions, as I proudly display an 11" x 14" picture of my stud dog "CH" Pedro" besie my childern's pictures on my office wall. At any rate, the consequence of these questions is that I have spent considerable time pondering this apparent conflict and will happily share my conclusions with anyone who cares to read further.
Now most of us sense that there is somethine noble about having the courage to stick by your convictions. In fact, this wonderful country we live in would certainly be vastly different were it not for the convictions of our ancestors. Our heritage practically demands that we place a premium on convictions and courage. But how does this relate to our dogs? Well in my estimation a bulldog that doesn't start, has no convictions. One that starts and quits has no courage, and one that starts and sticks with it can eat the same thing for supper that I do.
But why is it necessary to experience pain and injury in demonstrating courage and convictions? This is the nature of life, my friends. Ask Patrick Henry who died for his beliefs. Ask the mechanic who daily busts his knuckles to provide for his family. Ask the secretary who suffers migraines from stress but regularly gets the paperwork out on time. Ask the doctor, who accepts the pain of self denial for eight years to complete his degree. Ask our president who took a bullet to the chest but didn't run home and hide, ask yourself.
Pain is the hand-maiden of achievement, and the triumph of will and perseverance over the forces of pain and fear, is the essence of all achievement. This is a scenario which permeates all of life. The props and actors may change but the story remains constant. Why then are so many people capable of accepting this struggle in some settings, but not others? I suspect that many of these people do not have a good philosophical understanding of themselves, of life, and certainly not of our dogs. Many people could not do an adequate job of contemplating their navels.
Many outsiders view our acceptance of pain as a love of pain. Nothing could be further from the truth. I for one would be perfectly content if our dogs could do their thing without pain or injury. But that wouldn't require a great deal of conviction on their part now would it? Unnecessary pain is certainly an evil. That is why my dogs sleep in heated houses in the winter, eat good nutritious food, are kept free of parasites and get all of the love and affection I can muster. I love life especially frutiful life, in all it's forms. I love it for myself, my family, you and your family, my dogs and even for my philodendron. Even the hopless fly who mistakenly enters my house doesn't get mashed. He gets relocated to a more appropriate spot in the universe--outside. To prevent a living entity from actualizing it's potential is a crime against nature. To do so out of love is a terrible mistake. To clip an eagle's wings so he could never fly and run the risks of a crash would be absurd, but this manner of thinking if often applied to our dogs.
Ernest Hemingway repeatedly demostrated his belief through his novels that life comes to be meaningful through fighting the good fight. I too contend that the most meaningful element in living a full life comes from having a purpose and the courage to fulfill it. Nowhere in my experience have I seen these qualities more clearly displayed than when our dogs are simply being themselves.

Look Forward
We had an ok 2011 with our dogs. A lot of things lost and learned we here at NoVACAIN Kennels had to sit back and regroup after a loss of a litter between King Cain and Cinderella’s Jazz. Meanwhile we studied and did a ton of research to give us a good look at our planned breedings in next 6 years. These breedings are planned so we can excide our own expectations with our dogs. NoVACAIN Kennels along with great friends of our have decided to open a kennel club (NoVACAIN Certified Kennel Club)in our community for people who would like to show or pull their dogs but can’t get around to shows or pulls. But mostly to help the image of the breed that so many people love, and also the breed that so many people fear from a bad rap the American Pit Bull Terrier. With this club we will be talking to people about responsible owner ship and not just being someone who owns a dog there is a difference, as well as ethical breeding for breeders and people who are looking into breeding in the future. There are a lot of dogs in my area that don’t have paper work and with this club there will be a way for them to show off the dogs in the ring as well as see which dogs can pull. We will talk to people who have registered dogs and don’t know what to do with them about things they can do. We promote spaying and neutering dogs that shouldn’t be bred giving truth to why the owner should fix the dog. DNA testing will be talked about to help the breeders in our area become better breeders. Genotyping for the dog owners to show purity to the breeds they own, as well for the ones who wish to get there dogs who don’t have registry papers papered and how this can be done. (NoVACAIN Certified Kennel Club is not a registry) NoVACAIN Kennels have a lot in store for the years 2012 to 2017 stay posted and enjoy being part of something that is moving forward.
Happy Holidays and we will see you next year.

Love This GIRL!!!
NoVACAIN's "Princess Meesha"
Always ALERT and ready to go!
Bred with a ton DRIVE.
PERSONALITY is an understatement.
NoVACAIN's "Princess Meesha"
BREED: Gwo Doz-chen
SEX: Female AGE: 1
WEIGHT: 45 lbs.
HEIGHT: 15" to the withers
Thursday, August 4, 2011
Lets Get It ON!
A decision has been made to put 100% effort into the Gwo Doz-chen, with a strong team of family behind me. People have their opinion about me and about the Gwo Doz-chen already but they also have their opinion about a lot of other things. Time has been spent, years of research finding the right components to create the Gwo Doz-chen. No fears and no regrets the Gwo Doz-chen is my vision and the vision is in motion! You will hear of the Gwo Doz-chen as they make their debuts in the coming years. Schutzhund, Protection, American Street Ring, Agility, Weight Pulls, and Service Dogs to name a few.
We will still have litters of working American Pit Bull Terrier’s and American Bully’s from time to time mainly to breed for our yard as our Bullies grow old. Stud services will be offered from a few select dogs. (Studs posted later) But I tell you this when we breed that EYE CATCHING, BRAKE NECK, LOOK TWICE, and a THIRD and a FOURTH, FIFTH, SIXTH time FEMALE you will defiantly know and see her on the scene believe me you will!
