    a friend of mine just let me read it..i was wondering what every one thinks of it...I just thought it was rubbish to be straight up. Hollingsworth was just plain dumb and uneducated. I'm trying to be nice. And a whole lot of self promoting going on by the author...I leave it at that. Save your money

    I havent read the book but in my eyes ed faron said some good things about hollingsworth in his book he might have been uneducated but him and his dogs have backed many good lines that are still present this day.... This is no way a post to criticise your views

    yes you are right he did say that....but I have heard from some people it was only his bitches he did not test Now this is only hearsay .....But mr brownstone dont let this change how you feel about the line there are alot of kennels that have used this and still successful

    i agree mafia that people are having success with them..no doubt

    Hollingsworths hands havent been on them dogs in along time...if the parents were good dogs i would take a dog with his blood in a second

    did you know he culled all the dogs that wasnt red? And he thought all black dogs where curs...i have seen with my own eyes some good black bolio dogs. Ive heard of others doing similar things in regards to color..i think we can all agree color dont mean shit and not all black dogs are curs

    E.H may not have been a rocket scientist but was smart enough to get good stock & place them with the right folks. a little common sense goes a long way with these dogs. many o' dogman with twice the experience E.H had never produced the quality he did in that amount of time.

    I agree also the black dogs being culled is just out of the question me personally a black dog would be excellent you then know your getting traits from the older dogs like patricks bull boy bob and toothless jack (not sure he was in any of the pedigrees just using him as example) but bull boy was

    Doesn't matter that he didnt test them. He was a genius at breeding dogs. They were all tested after they left his yard anyway and all proved game except one. Many proved dead game.

    No, because he was breeding them in his own way with his own ideas. How does someone else get the credit for the breedings another man does? Did they originally come from Patrick? Yes, but they became Hollingsworth's creations once he started breeding them. JMO
