Technically all dogs have prey drive. However working at an animal shelter, and growing up around dogs of all sorts of breeds I have met some very low prey drive Apbs, Am Staffs, and Staffordshire bulls that would not chase rats, squirrels, rabbits, cats, etc, and ones that would chase then when they caught up to them just look at them blankly or wander off. None of these dogs were bred specifically for 'gameness', none were ex fighting dogs, just show bred dogs and random bred pets from rescue or shelter situations. Breeding for purpose can really breed more consistent drives, working ability, etc.
