It's all about PUPPIES!

I have been and returned from Ireland and the Irish Derby. Had a good time with friends on Derby night. It was great to see Clare Hanley and watch Group Skater run. His littersister, Group Singer*, has been retired and is now home here awaiting mommy duties. We are leaning towards breeding her to Kiowa Sweet Trey.
At the track........Cashel (Maryville Rumble* ex Oneco Mais Oui) broke in at Palm Beach for the B&B Kennel winning two straight. He is a very genuine dog and never gives up. DDM Snoopy (Group Rooster* ex JR's Prelude) has been extremely game as well for owners Dick Ciampa and Mark Collins. She has rarely been out of the money since breaking in and shows both early speed as well as bottom. Finella, owned by Ron Lies and myself had trouble in schools at Southland as well as her brother, DDM's Dave Burns. However, veteran trainer, Jeff Lovely saw the potential and took them off. She schooled back on with both finishing 3rd and showed BOTTOM! Something our finishing trainer, Pat Begley, said they had! They are now on for maiden runs and Jeff is very pleased with them. They are Group Rooster's and as Clare Hanley says...they are like a fine wine and get better with age. Next we have the litter of Farloe Black ex Oooga Chockah.....one owned by Dick Ciampa and Mark Collins is headed to Wheeling for Douglas Kennel as well as his sister, Damphyr, owned by Linda Russi and I. Webmaster, Brian Carpenter's Oooga Chica is at Jacksonville and Barry Stanton's Valorific is with the D'Arcy Kennel at St. Pete. Four different finishers finished this litter...it will be interesting to see how they all pan out. Dick and Mark's Ardkill Jamie ex JT's Petey Girl pup is headed to Southland as well as Linda Russi's and my pup. Speaking of Petey Girl.....congrats to her and Maryville Rumble* on their son, CRT Tigerudog! He has won multiple grade A's and this weekend won a stakes/feature race! The Ardkill Jamie pups are also out of her. The best news is she is in whelp to Group Rooster* and due this coming MONDAY! Reserve your pup now! I owned Petey's mom as well and this is a proven line that throws multiple grade A's per litter!
