Thanks Kerry, For myself it is all very exciting with the first bitch from Ireland arriving in April, Tara will be two years old on arrival. I sourced her as an adult dog for many reasons which I am sure you can understand.
I am lucky my Uncle is a retired gamekeeper and has a good eye for dogs.To have a bitch out of Tweedshot Trimble of Lettergreen the current Irish champion is a bonus and she is a very nice looking fox red.( in my eyes) All the right medical clearances and hopefully a good breeding bitch. The chocolate bitch was sourced by a friend who is a pro trainer at 7 months old , Lonny spent a couple of days assessing the dog and recommended I buy her, he has been training her for the last 16 months so I can only hope she can compete at a reasonable level, Storm arrives in May.
Also have a six month old puppy out of English Ftch Brackenbird Minnow, residing now in the USA being trained until Export,
Might sound strange but it was cheaper to send to USA 400 pound airfare plus boarding and training is cheaper in the USA , also the airfare is cheaper from USA to Aus than Uk to Aus.
Time will tell and hopefully turn out ok, not many Black Caviar,s out there.
Regards
Dale
