Ed could have done that breeding easily, as he is the one who bought out all of Hollingsworth's 28 original dogs (Bull, Saber, Miss Flame, Angel, Truman, Trinx, Bodine, Bob, Prince, Molly, Polly, Dr. Savage, Riot, Hero, Ch Blade, Peppermint Patty, etc.). Ed later sold-off most of these dogs. (Whether Ed actually did the breeding you're speaking of, OR NOT, however, is another matter--as I have never heard of it. And I suspect he did not.)

Meanwhile, Hollingsworth only retained a few of his original purebred stock (Dolly, the true Lady, Luke, and Angel Face among them). Hollingsworth bred Dolly to Yellow, and then (due to failing health) he sold off the remainder of his yard while Mayday et al were about 10 months old. Victor bought out that whole yard (the Mayday litter + the few remaining pure dogs left--12 dogs total I believe), and the rest as they say is history ...
