Kristin's News: May 2009

Pictured is "Snoopy" a November 2008 whelp by Group Rooster* and out of JR's Prelude. This stunning female is owned by Dick Ciampa. These pups are large and aggressive and are built like their sire. I anticipate major tracks for this litter!


This youngster is "Cashel" a young Maryville Rumble* son out of Oneco Mais Oui. He is literally a carbon copy of his sire. And here he is again with his littersister, "Nenaugh".




These are the Farloe Black* pups out of Oooga Chockah freshly tattooed. They are looking phenominal. Black was also recently bred to Twist Dream out in Abilene for "Sonny" Olsen. "Sonny" is a great dogman and we wish him the best of luck with his upcoming litter!



Here is Jt's Petey Girl with her 5 week old litter of Ardkill Jamie* pups.

Both KB's Endura and Dance Of Dreams are in season for Henry Howe and will be bred in the coming week. We have completed the breeding of Iceman Brutus* to RCK Sundown with a July 29th due date.

Group Singer* continues her non-stop spree of bringing home paychecks. I could not be more pleased with her. I am getting a much clearer picture of the type of dog it takes to run over here from Ireland.

Our Fine Silver* pups are being relocated to Palm Beach this week. George Heises' Night Montana ran another outstanding race and just got nipped at the wire to finish second. I think Montana is going to make a very nice top grade Palm Beach dog when he matures! Silver is throwing a ton of box speed it is actually a trait I wasn't expecting him to throw but I am pleased to see it! I think you will see quite a few top grade pups out of Silver at Palm Beach in the coming months!

Hauling.....don't forget to contact Tracey Palmer or Dave Sullivan BEFORE Wednesday to schedule your haul down. Dave leaves very, very early on Wednesdays and calling at 9am many times is too late.

Happy Memorial Day!

I hope that everyone is enjoying their holiday weekend and spending time with friends and family.

We have sold all of the Fine Silver* ex DC Brenda Lee pups that we had for sale. Thank you to all who enquired.

Iceman Brutus* will probably be bred to RCK Sundown at some point next week. This the bank holiday we are having to run our progesterone assays a day late......but all the females had low numbers so we should be fine on all.

Group Singer* ran another nice race for me on Friday night, finishing 3rd. I believe she has only missed the board once since relocating to Palm Beach! The Fine Silver* pups are all running well. Night Montana, owned by George Heise just missed winning two in a row. My pup, Liquid Silver, hit the board again but looks to be coming up a tad short at Tri-State. The track is a bit heavy and deep and it looks to be too much for a big time speed dog. He will probably head to Palm Beach if the track surface doesn't speed up. I see Pfannys Sirloin officially schools at Palm Beach this AM too.

KB's Endura is in season for Henry Howe and we are still discussing who she will go to. Flying Larned who was bred to Farloe Black* is co-owned by Tim Allen and I, whelped a litter of FIFTEEN 3 days too early. Early vet diagnosis is that Larned may have had an infection. The pups were timed exact and they were simply a few days too underdeveloped to survive. We were very saddened by the event and how it turned out. PJ's Richmond does appear to be in whelp to Stan's Boy Flyer for Roger Knauff and I. We are obviously extremely excited about this litter. We teamed up together to use my vial of semen and his female. She is a 2yr old Fortress* female out of a Greys Statesman bitch. I might fish out my last vial of Loxahatchee Dash for her in the future. If you look at some of the breedings Tony and Dottie Morris have done you will see why I would consider using the Loxahatchee Dash vial on her. Don't forget.....Tony IS offering his last 2 vials of Dash for sale for $1500 each!!! That is guaranteed it! There is no more Dash to be had anywhere!

Chat will be open at 5pm EST as usual! Hope to see you there!!!!

RCK Sundown broke season. We will be talking her to Iceman Brutus*.
I received an update from TX on Eile pups in training- word is they are fast-possibly very fast. The Knauff owned Eile's have the same report!

***STOP PRESS*** Swahili Eile pup runs incredible time!

I just received a call this AM from our veteran finishing trainer, Joey Lingle.....an out of breath Joey Lingle. He called to inform me that "Blade" aka Sword of Eile (Swahili Eile ex To Shy To Say) ran a blistering 25.47. Now we knew this pup might be special...we knew he could out break any pup on Joey's farm.....but we did not know he was THIS FAST!!!!! Joey stopped what he was doing to call me. He was so excited. And mind you....Blade was running against older pups and still has 2 months left to train! Not only is Blade fast but I am hearing that Roger Knauff's TWO litters of Eile pups in training with Phil Harris can run as well. This bodes very well for the freshman sire, Swahili Eile*. Michael Dunphy has told me several times that he believed that Eile would make a top sire.....it looks like he could definately be headed in the right direction! Everyone that has Eile pups is loving them!!! I think we will see why very soon!

To everyone who breeds at Alvin Stagg's facility. We are sending a tank out with semen on new sires Iceman Brutus*, Farloe Black* and Tommy Commander! And sending more Maryville Rumble* and Group Rooster*. He now has semen on all of our sires! Including the hot Swahili Eile*!

The Iceman has arrived!!!






Iceman Brutus* has finally arrived and all paperwork is at the NGA. He is available for stud duties now. We have a brood here for him now and she will be bred on Tuesday. I can tell you that Brutus is one of those dogs who takes everything in stride. He is as easy going and affectionate as they come. Body-style wise he is very much in line with Farloe Black*. He is a compact powerhouse. We are very excited about the future here for Brutus.


Pictured is JT's Petey Girl with her wee Ardkill Jamie* pups. They will be 2 weeks old tomorrow. All pups are spoken for.
We have offered five of the Fine Silver* ex DC Brenda Lee (littersister to Bouncing Bucky and Trent Lee) pups for sale. We have had several enquires. To answer some questions, there are 6 males and 5 females. We will be keeping 6 pups ourselves. Fine Silver* pups are racing at Dubuque right now and running very well. We also have some schooling on up at Tri-State. This is Brenda's only litter and will be Brenda's only litter. The females obviously have great value as broodstock. Brenda herself was an AA at Lincoln. These pups are being offered for $800 each FIRM.
Group Singer* just ran minutes ago and just missed running 3rd. She has never missed the board since being moved to Palm Beach.
We will be freezing semen on Brutus either later this week or first of next week. If you have an immediate need, please contact me and we will do everything we can to accomodate you.
