Back and Kennel news.

Just returned from the UK and the deputy Kennel hand Jacqui has done a pretty good job. Up at 6am to let out and feed and then back in to the house to wake and feed the grandson! 
All the dogs here are coming on nicely and today Saturday was drag lure gallop time. All started from the 200m area and all came up in pairs. Sam just pipped Mo but she was slipped a length behind. Both came up focusing on the drag lure. Next to come up was Ben and the old dog George (Feral Fox). Ben won this one and was going away from George in the last 50m. Really pleased because Ben was really focused on the lure and followed it right up to the hay bales. Hopefully he will soon take to the artificial lure on the track, plenty of patiences being shown though!
Minnie came up an showed a nice turn of foot and really focused on the drag.
Pups are still for sale or syndicated and if you are interested drop me an email.

Ted and Rex Leave

Rob came today to pick up Ted and Rex and make the trip to the North Island.
Good Luck to him and the Family and I hope they go on to be winners for them.

New recruit to the Kennel!

Have been searching for a quick railer think I have found one!

Big job cleaning the Kennel and Paddock though!

Schooling session Sat 21st.

Took four of the dogs today. Mo and Sam were put into the boxes. Both solo trials. Mo came out like a true professional and was pretty impressive chasing hard. Sam being bigger and having only his first trial with the lids down was slow away but ran on nicely. Minnie had a handslip level with the boxes went very well. Rex had his 2nd handslip and ran the bend nicely but will still need a little more work.
Overall very pleasing.

Farewell to Max

Hope Max does us proud and is successful in his racing career. Was very sad saying goodbye to him. He is a big lad. 40 kg. I am sure he will win the hearts of his new owners as he won ours.

Sat 7th Trip to Chertsey

Took a trip to Chertsey schooling track. Went to pick Ted up after watching him trial and then give Mo, Minnie and Rex a run. Mo had her first jump from the traps with lids down and was great to see her jump well and chase hard. Very pleased with her run and time seeing it was her first look at the track and the 1st bend catches them out. Ted ran earlier and showed that he is coming on nicely and Bruce has down a cracking job breakin him in.
Minnie had a handslip from the side of the boxes and after negotiating the tricky 1st bends she came home strongly.Rex had been in the viewing boxes for several trials and I decided to give him a handslip from the bend. Went well for his first chase of the lure and I am sure he will be even keener next time.
