Not directed to me but I will offer up....

Molly Bee had Red Lady and a few more winners. In turn there were some winners but by her not being bred that many times (bred as Molly Bee) the offspring were not passed out to the masses. It was a tight circle not by choice (as Mr. Edwards sold a lot of dogs, even after his death he may still be in the lead, just saying) but because there simply not enough to make a dent in the production world.

And the breedings that were known were not high percentage litters, and that goes to the male used as well. Like Snooty to the Red Boy family was much higher 'good dog per litter' percentage than Snooty to Molly Bee.

The factor in that Mr. Edward's leaned over to at least fifty of his closest friends and said "I'm going to be honest with you, Molly Bee was off so and so and so and so" And those people all know the true breeding of Molly Bee, even though several versions were provided.

So not knowing how she was bred meant (even if she had been bred as Molly Bee) the best route would be best dog to best dog or producing dog to match dog, which does not take long to peter out, thus leaving the impression 'she did not produce'.

If that makes sense.
