That is a good point: absolutely, percentages of good dogs in the litter (as well as how deep the offending dog was willing to go before he had enough) are definitely deciding factors.

For example, Hollingsworth's Bodine (after repeated ass drubbings and multiple hard tests) finally did quit, FAT, off the chain ... in nearly 2 hours when put uphill against a better dog in the summer ... but he had shown so game, so many times before, as had his littermates ... and he was in such poor shape when he was done ... that he was put back on the chain by his owner (Butch Davis), who bet a guy that "no one" could make Bodine quit.

The simple truth is no dog can overcome enough human stupidity leveled against it ...
