The first runner from the maiden litter that was bred at our new kennels in Drumscraw made his debut on Monday night past in Limerick. I can confidently say that you will be hearing a lot more about this lad. A bang railer with explosive early pace he left the traps with great authority and every post he went he was further clear before stopping the clock in a sensational 16.11. This is the fastest ever debut by a dog in Limerick, indeed he is the now the fastest ever pup over two bends in Limerick.
I spoke to Ger after the race and he was delighted. Large offers will be on the table for this lad but he will be kept for a while and schooled out, he hasn't been in the traps 10 times yet! Four bends wont be a problem for him which should make him a serious player in all the puppy competitions if he improves as a 16 month old pup should.
Exciting times ahead and a great boost for the staff here to see our hard work producing the results. I still have a dog pup from the litter for an English client who is being schooled at the minute. Very little has been done with him to date due to the kennel cough that is doing the rounds but we are hopeful he has the same ability as his brother.

A long awaited arrival
On the 16th of September at 1.35pm our beautiful baby daughter arrived. Sarah and Colette are now well settled in back in Drumscraw and everyone is doing fantastically well. Sarah was so excited about coming out that she arrived a few weeks ahead of schedule and weighed a very healthy 6lb 14. Many thanks to the staff at the Erne Hospital in Enniskillen who treated us all with great kindness and professionalism. But I owe the biggest thanks to Colette for the wonderful daughter she has delivered. That's kennel hand number one sorted out!

This lad, like his sister has come good of late. He won a nice stake final on the Friends of Africa Benefit Meeting night in Lifford recently, having won the semi final and first round on route to the final. He is now open class and will have to play with the big boys but he is more than capable of doing that after a short break to get over a few sore spots.

I think this can now be classified as a successful litter. The next litter ex Maureens Angel are now schooling. There are two in particular who are catching the eye and will be at least as good as their half brothers and sisters.
