The Iceman cometh.......WEDNESDAY!


Iceman Brutus* will be arriving here on Wednesday. He has a direct flight. Fuzzys Derby was purchased and will be bred to Brutus for her new owner. I have had several enquiries on Brutus. The first place I will ship frozen semen will be to Dr. Law. If you have a bitch in season and need it some where other than Dr. Law's contact me immediately and I will expedite your shipment as soon as humanly possible.
Group Singer* picked up her first US win on Friday at Palm Beach in a 3/8ths race. She has drawn back in for Tuesday. Looks like she is in a bit tough however. She is a hardy little bitch and will give it her all.
Jt's Petey Girl's Ardkill Jamie pups are growing like weeds and will be 1 week old tomorrow. All pups in this litter are spoken for.
We moved the Fine Silver* x DC Brenda Lee pups out into the runs. They will be tattoed in about 2-3 weeks. At that time we will be offering 5 or 6 of them for sale. Brenda is a littersister to stud dogs, Bouncing Bucky and Trent Lee. We have not priced them yet. Please enquire if you are interested in these classic bred pups. They will be a bit dear though as this is her one and only litter. She is being adopted out in the next few weeks.
We watched the NGA Meet Auction on-line and I thought it was brilliant. It was so nice to sit at home and watch all the action without sitting on those dreaded bleachers for hours! I thought the bidding a bit strange. It will be interesting to see the auction totals and who bought what. We bid on a few but got out bid.
Don't forget....international chat starts at 5pm on Sunday!!!

Rumble pups run fast times at the Meet - New pups have arrived!




Pictured is JT's Petey Girl with her new litter of Ardkill Jamie* pups. There are 5 males and 1 female total. As you can see all are big and healthy!


A Maryville Rumble* pup owned by David Peck ran the 2nd fastest time of the meet so far. Wes Parvin had three wins all out of ICU Greta. A Fine Silver* pup owned by Harold Holding and out of RC Power Abigail won a round as well! It was a good day for our stud dogs out in Kansas! We wish them all godspeed going into the final rounds on Thursday and Friday!


These are the Farloe Black* pups out of Oooga Chockah! Hard to believe they are this big already. Some of the cleanest and smartest pups here to date! We collected more semen on Black today so it is ready to ship to any facility. Right now Dr. Law has some vials but we will ship anywhere.

Petey ended up with six pups. 5 males and one female. All are big and healthy. Good luck to the Rumbles & Silver pups at the Meet today!

Pups leave to train, puppies on the way....


Pictured is Duke Of Eile, owned by our own webmaster, Brian Carpenter. This litter by Swahili Eile* and JR's Prelude have blossomed into handsome pups. Word from Joey Lingle is they are doing everything right for where they are in the training process.
JT's Petey Girl is due this Sunday to Ardkill Jamie who had a brief stint here in the US before being shipped back to Ireland to stand at FFK Sires. I am guessing she has 8 pups.
The National Meet in Abilene, Kansas begins rounds of racing on Monday. There are about a dozen Fine Silver* pups there as well as oodles of Maryville Rumble* pups. We wish all competitors a fast and successful Meet as well as auction! We will be watching from our computers this time as I am too busy with females in for implants as well as stud dog in from Miami for collection. I won't be attending the Fall Meet either as I will be attending the Irish Derby.
We have moved several litters around on the farm and will begin whirly gigging the Maryville Rumble/Jt's Petey Girl pups, the Westmead Hawks, the Hondo Blacks and the Maryville Rumble/Greys Tarmac litters.
The wee Fine Silver* pups out of DC Brenda Lee are growing like weeds as well as the Farloe Black* / Oooga Chockah pups. We will be relocating the litters outside in about 2 weeks! They DO grow up fast! Hard to believe they are that big already!
I just acquired a new brood bitch, RCK Sundown and I have her on the books to be bred to Iceman Brutus* when she comes in. The Burfords have gotten all required paperwork done on Brutus for the NGA and he will be shipped over momentarily.
I am sorry for the delay in updating the news as our Farm Manager, Brett Gerst was on holiday for a week and things are just now back to normal.

Work, work and more WORK!

Sorry for the delay updating the news. I have been incredibly busy with girls in for implants.

Updates at the track...we are moving Group Singer* to the B&B Kennel in Palm Beach to run 3/8ths. She did not suit Derby Lane and we feel the open boxes will suit her better.

We heard word from Kansas this AM that some Fine Silver* pups have been turning some pretty impressive times at AGP and have beaten some older veterans. We expect a good sampling to be running through the Meet in a couple weeks! Our pups out of Fine Silver* in the Country Roads Kennel at Tri-State are doing very well. Ron Clark reports that they are actually surprising them in morning schooling out of the box and they expect them to fare well at the track.

The wee Farloe Black* pups here have shocked us by not only getting out of the whelping box (too young in my opinion) to running around outside in the run. I have never seen pups at this young an age running around outside. They are some of the cleanest pups too. Absolute stunners!

Breedings on Fine Silver*, Swahili Eile* and Hometown Boy have increased over the past two weeks. People are definately gaining big time interest in these three right now. Word is leaking out from the finishers on the Silver and Eile pups and I think that is why we are seeing a spike in breedings to them.

Many thanks to all who continue to patronize our business. We appreciate all of you!
