I personally don't care to find out if my own dogs are game. As far as I am concerned, they are not, and that's how it will stay. However, I would like a dog that I know came from game lines.

Why? The same reason, if I ever got a retriever and had zero plans of duck hunting, I'd want a dog of whatever breed closest to its truest form. I'd look for two retrievers that have a lineage of great hunters.
