The time came to say goodbye to the majority of the 2 sets of Premier Fantasy pups on Monday and whilst at times they were hard work, I will still miss them, they have developed into fine looking animals and if looks can win you races then these pups will win bundles, I wish all their owners the very best of luck with them and I know they are in safe hands with Dave and Jane Houfton at Dunham Greyhound Centre and I hope it is the start of a great working relationship.
I have kept two of the Droopys Rosari pups back as I intend doing these myself, not quite sure whether I will race them or not as they are both cracking specimens and should make great broods in the near future, watch this space for developments with them.
Sadly I have to report that Rosari has missed with her mating to Boherduff Light, having been scanned twice, just to be sure, it was conclusive that she has not taken, sad as she would have been due on Christmas Day.
The Jazz Hurricane pups are really flourishing and filling out big time as each day goes by, as said already I thought they were going to be less bulky than the Kewell pups but boy have they changed over the last 6/8 weeks, I am very excited about these.
On the note of Jazz, sadly 1 of her Droopys Kewell pups had to be put to sleep on Thursday as he had developed some form of brain malfunction and this caused him to start losing his eye sight as well as other various ailments, it would have been very cruel to have kept poor Diesel alive and I know that his owner Jill and the kennel of Derek Knights are all truly devastated, they gave him the love and attention he deserved but sadly it was not enough.

The Droopys Maldini pups x Miss Wonderful are doing great, always on the go and full of the joys of spring and I am more than happy with how they are coming along.
The 2 young sets of Hondo Blacks( Droopys Lena and Baby Marge) are doing fantastic and boy can they eat, absolutely devour whatever is put down to them which makes life so much easier, I am gaining more and more respect for this sire as it looks like he produces a fine stamp of a pup with great hardiness.
Congratulations to Lynn Canham on winning the Baby Marge pup, Lynn is very passionate about her dogs and has all the dogs with the “ Opening” prefix at Wimbledon including Arty( Opening Artist) who won the Puppy Derby a couple of years ago, I sincerely wish Lynn all the best with her new pup and hope she goes onto great things.
I would also like to say thanks to the people in Australia that are willing to take a chance with Farloe Merlin, the response has been great and all being well we will have the first consignment in Australia by End of Jan and hopefully a few bitches mated soon after.
Good news is that Merlins first bitch Lislevane Minx has been mated this weekend and he was more than up for it which is great considering it was his first ever go, fingers crossed we see a nice healthy litter of pups in around 9 weeks time. Must also thank Mick and Sam for looking after him the last couple of weeks.
The update on Daisy is that she has settled in the house very well and overall been very good, odd occasions have seen her being a pain in the backside but considering what has happened we cannot really complain, the original cast that was put on had not had enough padding at the top, this caused it to cut into her skin and I had no option but to get it taken off, it was replaced with a splint and within 10 days she had managed to split this in 2, my vet who has been doing his job for over 30 years has NEVER had a splint break and says you actually have to saw it to cut it down to size, nothing really surprises me with Daisy and I think she has been sent to test my patience as well as my wallet.
