Good post. The last couple of lines are topics within themselves.

JE told us once the key to Molly Bee was the line of Heinzl/Colby 1/4 or so from her top side. Asked why it wasn't more sought after in order to mimic/re-create Molly Bee and he said the same, "It is just hard to find the dogs that are those dogs". Meaning they were out there by name but just not the same dogs.

She was a little before my time but this is a story told my JE. Basically there was a camp down south that had the one to beat Molly Bee. It was set up and they made the trip. It was a big crowd and JE was away from the box. He was making his way to the box, heard release your dogs, and stopped briefly to speak to an old friend. Heard what sounded like a .22 rifle pop and the crowd went silent. He got to the pit, the bitch has went into Molly Bee's mouth and for her decision she got the her muzzle broken in half. Half way between her nose and the eyes. Snapped it half in two. He laughed and said it was the first time he was at a match and did not see a match. In so many words.

Good insight CYJ. Good post.
