What is ahead this year?

2009 was a very trying time for many breeders and for a lot it was a case of hanging on in there and try ride out the recession, obviously the calamities within The GBGB were never going to help but now that we have entered a new year we can only but hope that things pick up.
I have recently engaged in talks with a few high profile British Breeders and we are all of the same thinking that it is about time our own board showed some support for BRITISH BREEDING, incentives should be in place to try and encourage owners to at least look at The British Breed as opposed just running to Ireland, through time British Breeders have shown that they can produce as good a pup as our Irish counterparts can, the major difference between both is that the Irish produce more good pups but they do, after all, produce many more pups at birth, I am in no doubt that if British Breeders produced the same numbers that they would close the gap considerably, should any British Breeders like to discuss anything that may benefit all British Breeders then please feel free to give myself a call as I fully intend speaking to various people about our Breed.
On the subject of Breeding, it is with very sad regret that I have decided to have Questhouse Sash speyed and a few more may follow dependant on how the sport goes over the forthcoming months, however have no fear I will still be giving it 150% and I honestly believe that I will have a cracking year on the race tracks.
All the pups have came through the worst weather I have seen unscathed but as expected the thawing snow has left as many problems in that many parts of my place are flooded, we had in places, 2 ½ ft of snow and now we have a foot of water in some areas, I will monitor how quickly it moves over next 2 days and decide whether to hire a water pump to speed it along.
I suggested to the owners of the Jazz Hurricane pups that they move as I was unable to get them in the field and they were very close to fighting due to boredom, thankfully they all agreed that it was best all round for the pups and they are now settled in at their schoolers but will not be touched for at least 3 months.
All the other pups are doing well albeit they are gagging to get into the field but it is just not safe enough for them yet, they do however have their paddocks so can still run around.
Daisy got her splint off 2 weeks ago and all is fine so far, whilst she has put the foot down she has not yet put full pressure on it, fear is stopping her but it will only be a matter of time; she is at times a pain in the backside as she is very jealous and wants all the attention but then she drops those soppy looks to you and how on earth can you stay angry with her.
