Bodine himself was a stupid-game dog. Truman was a stupid-game dog with an awesome build. Miss Trinx was smarter than both and, from what I understand, game as hell too. (I got her dying of cancer so never rolled her.)

These dogs, if bred correctly, will yield a higher percentage of gameness than just about any other strain of dogs you will find. They may not be twenty-minute killers, but it will take you two hours to kill them, and (as Hollingsworth used to say) "You may kill me, but I will kill you too." Win or lose, you're going to be there awhile if you run into a Hollingsworth dog.

I remember Powerhouse Kennels (who owned their other brother Lethal) saying, "He has decent ability, but it would take a Bengal tiger to kill him."

That is pretty much what they're known for: exceptional gameness and unbelievable rugged durability, which will bring out the cur in most of these fast track cur-bred dogs. In a typical match of a Hollingsworth dog into a "fastlane killer," after the killer CAN'T kill one of these dogs, it will quickly get discouraged being slammed in the corner past the hour mark, by a raw, physical animal ... that is screaming-game and will never stop trying.
