It has been a hectic day as I sit down to write this post on the blog. The weather has taken a turn for the better with a dry spell in place and the ground starting to dry up somewhat after the recent deluges of rain. All the dogs- pups, broods, schoolers and saplings where wormed and I have the scratches to prove it!
I qualified Drumsraw Black and Drumscraw Bullet in Lifford this afternoon. Bullet won her trial in 18.38 while Black was second beated 2 lengths in 18.60, she checked very badly at the first bend and lost the guts of 10 lengths but showed plenty of pace which is encouraging.
Back home the kennels got a good wash down and a general tidy up to leave things right for the weekend when I will be busy lead training the litter of Go Wild Teddy pups.
I weighed the GWT litter when I was worming them and they are going to make a nice size. At the minute the bitches range from 44lb to 52 lb and the dogs from 52lb to 58lb. Also weighed where the pair of Alex Revenge pups that I'm rearing for Ray McGuiness, his brindle bitch would want to stop growing anytime soon as she is tipping the scales at 57lb at six and a half months!
The Boherduff Lights had there first venture outside after I gave them there puppy jabs and they seemed to enjoy themselves! It will be good to get them outside for good but I will probably wait another couple of weeks yet as I'm going to sand a paddock for them to ensure they have a dry footing.
