Talking Breeding - Victoria

TWO FOR JOE

THIS week’s review of litters selected from the

Victorian Litter Registrations list, for the week ending

17 January, starts with the little known, but proven sire,

Didda Joe (May 2010 Vapour Whirl x Debbie Saquan),

whose dam is by Lilli Pilli Lad x Riverdale Jodie

(Prince Of Tigers x Weber).

He is from a litter of four named, all winners and

his 80 starts resulted in 17 wins and 19 placings.

He won over 400 metres at Geelong (22.93), 480

metres (27.28) and 570 metres (32,55) at Horsham, 595

metres at Sandown (34.33), 600 metres at The

Meadows (34.56), 545 metres at Ballarat (31.22), 660

metres at Bendigo (38.15) and 520 metres at

Cranbourne (30.55).

He has only one litter on file with nine named

offspring, five dogs and four bitches, whelped in April

2015 which produced seven individual winners.

LETHBRIDGE breeder, Daniel Welsh has the first of

the two litters, which has two dogs and six bitches,

from the well bred bitch, Hurricane Queen (December

2013 Hurricane Luke x Black Queen), whose dam is by

Pure Octane x Hero Girl (Hotline Nero x Tanner

Queen).

She is from a litter of four named, with three

winners and her record reads, 42 starts for eight wins

and 18 placings, with three wins over 400 metres at

Geelong (22.78), two wins over 400 metres at

Shepparton (22.41), where she also won over 450

metres, and also won over 311 metres at Cranbourne

(17.82) and 390 metres at Warrnambool.

The successful Champagne Syndicate, managed

by Susanne Smith, has the second litter, which has six

from the seven named offspring in her first litter,

whelped in February 2016, by Fernando Bale, who

have just turned 2 years old and could be worth

following.

Talking Breeding NSW

Two Banjo Boy litters

THIS week’s review of litters selected from the NSW

Whelping Report for the week ending 9 November,

starts with two litters by Banjo Boy (April 2011 Vee

Man Vane x Off Springer).

Stratheded breeder, Toni Northfield has the first

of the two litters, which has four dogs and two bitches,

from the well bred bitch, Kingsbrae Nelly (March 2013

Bralyn County x Kingsbrae Sally), whose dam is by Bit

Chili x Kingsbrae Di (Solve The Puzzle x Pretty

Jacalyn).

She is from a litter of 12 named, which produced

ten winners who won 131 races between them,

including, Porky Teller, 33 wins, Mincin’ Machine, 30

wins, Western Dave, 16 wins, It’s His Job, 11 wins and

Bralyn Jackson, 10 wins.

She raced 51 times for nine wins and eight

placings, winning four times over 520 metres at

Lismore (30.01) and three times over 520 metres at

Albion Park (30.17), with single wins over 411 metres

at Casino (23.50) and 520 metres at Tweed Heads

(29.59).

She has four named offspring from her first litter,

whelped in April 2016, by Don’t Knocka Him, who are

not two years old yet, and also has a litter of six dogs

and two bitches on file, whelped in February 2017, by

Peter Rocket, so she certainly has some well bred pups

on the ground.

WERRINGTON DOWNS breeder, Edward Foyle has

the other Banjo Boy litter, and must be delighted with

the nine dogs and one bitch pup, from the well bred

bitch, Rema’s Topaz (January 2011 Goodesy x

Guantanamo Dot), whose dam is by Eiffella x Rema’s

Puzzle (Solve The Puzzle x Princess Rema).

She is from a litter of five named, with four

winners, including her nine wins and 17 placings from

57 starts.

Four of those wins were over 515 metres at The

Gardens (29.78), two wins over 537 metres at

Traralgon (31.00) and she also won over 520 metres at

Wentworth Park (30.18), 530 metres at Potts Park

(29.99) and 520 metres at Bathurst (30.16).

Her career as a brood bitch has got off to a good

start with all five named in her first litter winning,

Diane’s Gift, Minnie Wizard, Rema’s Amber, Rema’s

Prince and Sketchy Jack, who were whelped in

November 2014, by Barcia Bale.

Two Barcia Bale Litters TWO litters on the list this week by leading national

sire, Barcia Bale (March 2010 Go Wild Teddy x

Princess Bale).

Benjamin Miller, from Orange, has the first of the

two litters, which has four dogs and five bitches, from

the beautifully bred, lightly raced bitch, Midnight Maid

(September 2011 Where’s Pedro x Midnight Movie),

whose dam is by Spiral Nikita* x Midnight Drama (Go

Wild Teddy x Ready To Rise).

She is from a handy litter of nine named, which

produced eight winners, including Midnight Rumour,

10 wins, and Midnight Scandal, 8 wins.

Her records shows she was lightly raced with just

12 starts, which resulted in three wins and five

placings, with wins over 450 metres at Ballarat (25.62),

480 metres at Horsham (27.44) and 407 metres at

Grafton (23.20).

She has two named offspring on file from her

first litter, Cyril Figgis, who was placed in a Bathurst

trial recently, and Game Of Bones who impressed

winning a Bathurst trial on 18 January, so keep an eye

out for them both when they face the starter again.

Made of Steel RAYMOND TERRACE breeder, Kanneth Catford has

the other Barcia Bale litter, which has five dogs and one

bitch, by the well bred bitch, Steel The Best (March

2013 Magic Sprite x Best Percentage), whose dam is by

Big Daddy Cool x Apache Apron (Token Prince x

Percentage).

She was the standout performer in a litter of eight

named, all winners, which included Wild Effective, 18

wins, Effective Power, 16 wins and Almost Magic, 11

wins.

She raced 75 times, for 21 wins and 25 placings,

winning on 13 different tracks, 520 metres at

Wentworth Park (30.38), 515 metres at Sandown

(29.47), 525 metres at The Meadows (30.00), 400

metres at Maitland (22.56), 400 metres at The Gardens

(22.47), 400 metres at Richmond (4 times B 22.56), 400

metres at Gosford (22.28), 390 metres at Shepparton

(21.65rec), 390 metres at Warrnamnool (21.99), 390

metres at Ballarat (21.82), 400 metres at Geelong

(22.54), 425 metres at Bendigo (23.94) and 440 metres

at Sale (24.84).

People often email me asking for

recommendations on breeding and for over 40 years

now I have had a specific policy on not giving advice.

Many years ago I was accused, on a greyhound

chat site, of favouring a particular sire, in return for

payment.

The matter was settled out of court, and it has

never happened again, to my knowledge anyway.

If people want to know what I think, they only

have to read the reviews and I say that now, because if

I was looking to buy a bitch with potential future

breeding in mind, one from this litter who come to

mind, with her dam line boasting Magic Sprite, Big

Daddy Cool and Token Prince and her city race record.

Hay Fergus litter RAYMOND TERRACE breeder, Lesley Green has a

nice litter of eleven pups on the list this week by the

beautifully bred, under-rated stud prospect, Hay Fergus

(March 2013 Brett Lee x Daydream), whose dam is by

Bit Chili (Bombastic Shiraz x Chili Berger) from Stresa

(Bobniak x Always Royal).

The four dogs and seven bitches in this litter are

from the well bred, versatile performer and proven

producer, Shoe Laces Lady (July 2011 Cool Effort x

Thing Ona String), whose dam is by Yo Yo’s Boy x

Zane’s Girl (Head Honcho x Malawi Blue).

She is from a litter of six named, with five

winners and her contribution was 58 starts, for 14 wins

and 18 placings, with wins from 420 metres at 720

metres.

She won eight races at Lismore, six over 635

metres (37.74), where she also won over 520 metres

(30.87) and 420 metres (24.55), twice over 610 metres

at Grafton (35.30), with single wins over 715 metres at

The Gardens (41.79), 720 metres at Wentworth Park

(43.06) and 600 metres at Albion Park (35.33) where

she also won over 710 metres (43.06).

She has winners on file from her first litter.

Two Fabio Litters

TWO litters on the list this week by the emerging stud

success, My Bro Fabio (March 2012 Turanza Bale x

Flamenco), whose dam is by Where’s Pedro x Zarbo

(Bright Ebony x Gold Serenade).

My Bro Fabio raced 52 times, for 26 wins and 14

placings and $478,585 in stakes.

He won the Group 1 Temlee, Group 1 Perth Cup,

Group 1 Hume Cup and Group 3 Canberra Cup.

His first crop to race have produced some

exciting prospects, including Paradiso Lass (x Key To

Eden), Rockstar Stratus (x Midnight Quest), Sheez My

Chicki (x Miss Chicki), Dreaming Time (x Black

Affair), Bankennie Chic (x Zippy Chicki),

Mandelbaum (x Zipping Amity), Tritt Tritt (x Lainey

Bale), Kulu Cooper (x Kulu Flame), Rockstar Kobe (x

Midnight Quest) and Sherbini (x Hidden Assets), with

more winners coming in all states every week.

This week’s Metropolitan winners summary, on

page 4, shows he had five winners around the country

last week.

WYEE breeder, Chrystal Hensing, has the first

of his two litters this week, which has four dogs and

four bitches, from the well bred, lightly raced, proven

producer, Kellmarg (September 2011 Hurricane Luke

x Marglissa), whose dam is by Bombastic Shiraz x

Awesome Berger (Awesome Assassin x Chili Berger).

She is from a litter of eight named, with four of

the six who raced, winning.

Her record shows she only raced 18 times, for

three wins and six placings, winning twice over 457

metres at Goulburn (25.88) and also over 365 metres at

Nowra (21.19).

She has seven named offspring on file from her

first litter, whelped in June 2014, by Magic Sprite,

who have all won raced.

WAGGA WAGGA breeder, David Jones, has the

second My Bro Fabio litter, which has six dogs and

one bitch, from the beautifully bred bitch, Paua To

Admit (January 2013 Fabregas x Paua To Terrify),

whose dam is by Spiral Nikita* x Paua To Burn

(Awesome Assassin x Alice Dooley).

She is from a litter of eight named with the five

who raced, all winning.

Her contribution, from just 23 starts, was three

wins and six placings, with wins over 525 metres at

Wagga (30.70), 460 metres at Warragul (26.27) and

520 metres at Ipswich.

Certainly plenty to like about the pedigree of

both of these litters and it’s a good feeling when you

have a young litter, to see the sire you chose producing

winners.

GCA GREYHOUND OF THE MONTH AWARD JANUARY 2018

“OUT OF RANGE”

- 25 -

GCA News

The GCA Greyhound of the Month for January

2018 has been awarded to star young Victorian

sprinter Out Of range for his outstanding win in

the Group 1 Silver Chief Classic at the Meadows

on 5 January.

After a 30.17sec heat victory, Out Of Range ran

second in his semi-final, but started $2.40 favourite in

2018’s first Group 1 event, courtesy of a rails draw

and an imposing six from eight record over The Mead-

ows’ 525m course.

Out Of Range took full advantage of his prized

inside alley to hold the lead in the all-important charge

to the first turn.

While Out Of Range wasn’t able to break clear,

he kept kicking strongly to repel Degani by .79 of a

length in 29.83sec, eclipsing his previous personal best

of 29.90sec at The Meadows, with Fast Car Driving

close up in third.

Out Of Range’s litter brother and kennelmate

Poke The Bear was first reserve for the Silver Chief

and while he missed a shot at the $100,000 winner’s

purse, Poke The Bear set The Meadows alight earlier

in the night when coming from the rear of the field to

clock a scintillating 29.71sec in the free-for-all.

Out Of Range has now won nine of his 14 starts, while

Poke The Bear has won 10 from 16.

“We named Out Of Range after Kelvin Jones, who is

here tonight. Kelvin has been training for us for a lot

of years (in conjunction with Gerry O’Keeffe), and he

has had a bit to do with this dog. His phone is always

out of range,” Darren Puleio laughed.

“I only breed one or two litters a year because I work

full-time running Ram Security, which sponsors the

Cranbourne and Warragul greyhound clubs.

Happy Birthday Today we turn 14 and 12! A big

happy birthday to my two babies, I

love them to pieces and so proud of

them. Birthday breakfast of peanut

butter on toast and hopefully some

pupcakes later after dinner.

(Tara Martin - Moonee Ponds)

Andrea Moss commented on facebook: I'd love to get some advice on whether to go with a Black Dog

balance harness or Black Dog training halter for my grey, Billy

(they're the two options I've narrowed it down to).

The problem: he's about 33kg and I'm not big, and when he

gets excited he's capable of literally pulling me off my feet

with the current setup of GAP collar and regular lead. He gets

most excited by trees and poles - especially during the first half

of the walk, he lunges at them to pee. The other time when this

is an issue is when he sees medium to big dogs, particularly

when they're off lead and racing around the park. I haven't

worked out yet whether he's just excited and wants to join

them or is fearful (I found out that he was bitten by another

dog just before entering GAP, to the extent that one of his teeth

was fractured and had to be pulled and he still has a scar on his

nose). When approached for sniffing, he often pivots on his

lead, jumps around, and sometimes leaps forward toward the

other dog (no growling and only occasional barking). I

obviously need to do more work with him around other dogs

and on the lead, but I'm not going to be able to do that until I

have a better lead/halter/harness setup that gives me a chance

of controlling him more effectively.

Recommendations and tips would be wonderful - thanks.

PS. He's very well behaved and mannered at other times - he

waits for me to tell him to eat before he eats his breakfast and

dinner and to take treats, has learned not to go into the laundry

even when the door is wide open (the kitty litter is in there),

will go on to his bed when told to, responds to "uh uh" when

he's about to do something I don't want him to do, etc. He just

gets so stimulated and excited on walks that it interferes with

his listening and responsiveness.

Maaiki Salter replied:

Have you considered a halti type. You then have control of the

head.

Walking harnesses can quite often be slipped out of, unless

you get one designed for fly ball.

FOSTER A GREYHOUND:

There are many greyhounds who need a little more

assistance to help them settle into pet life

They fall into two categories

Greyhounds who are transitioning from the track

and need help to pass their GAP assessment

OR

Those dogs who have been a marginal fail at their

GAP assessment

These dogs are just gorgeous happy greyhounds, the

only difference is that need a little more help to

transition into pet life

The reality is that without foster carers some of

these dogs are at risk

GAP News Bobby retires from the track

Bobby the greyhound has swapped the racing track for

a life with four children, six horses, a terrier, cats and

dairy cows in Numurkah.

It’s a far cry from the racing track but Bobby is not

fazed by any of it. He gave the cats and horses a sniff,

then walked quietly away.

Kylie and Mark Sutton and their children Brittany,

Braydon, Makaya and Kyran, found Bobby at the

greyhound adoption weekend which was held at GAP’s

headquarters at Seymour.

Bobby was one of 104 greyhounds to find new homes

during GAP’s first-ever weekend-long adoption event.

Bobby has settled very comfortably into his new

home. A bit like Goldilocks, he tried to find the perfect

place to sleep and, after a restless night for everyone

involved, he rejected the couple’s bed, then a beanbag

and a toddler’s bed before he finally settled for the

family couch.

Choosing Bobby was a decision that involved everyone

in the family. They studied the GAP adoption website

for weeks before narrowing down the field to five

dogs but didn’t hesitate when they finally met him at

the GAP facility.

“I can’t get over his gentle nature,” Kylie said. “He is

so laid back and gentle.”

Bobby retired from the racing track 12 months ago. His

trainer Simon Barker, who had Bobby for two years –

first to train him, then as a pet – always thought Bobby

was a special dog with a beautiful nature. Originally

known as Dark Jameson he also had success on the

track, with 13 wins and 27 minor placings in 77 starts.

“It broke my heart to let him go,” he says, “but my 101-

year-old dad has come to live with me again and we’re

worried that he will trip over the dog or the gate will be

left open. It wasn’t safe for dad or the dog.”

It was a difficult decision to make but Simon is happy

that he has gone to a loving home.

Bobby had a moment in the limelight as a radio star

just before the adoption weekend. He went with GAP

representatives to the 3AW studio in Melbourne to

spread the word about the adoption weekend and drew

plenty of pats and attention from the show’s hosts.

Spread out on the couch in Numurkah, he looks ready

for a quiet retirement after the excitement of a busy

week.

GAP Adoptions Manager Larissa Darragh said “the

program is continuing to go from strength to strength

and I look forward to the next adoption day”.

More than 1300 greyhounds were rehomed by GAP last

financial year and GAP aims to better that figure this

year.

People who wish to attend the upcoming

Bendigo adoption day should register their interest

beforehand via the GAP website at:

http://gap.grv.org.au/events/greyhound-adoption-

day/.

If you wish to adopt on the day, please click on

the ‘Adopt A Greyhound’ button on the website and

follow the links to complete an adoption application

form. This will help GAP find the right dog for you

Greyhounds Home Training Tips

Behaviour and Positive training Social skills aren’t just for humans!

One of the most important lessons your puppy or

dog should learn is that they must sit before

interacting with you or any other human.

You can teach a puppy or mature dog to do almost

any trick. Dogs learn at any age, as long as lessons

are repeated often enough and teaching sessions are

short and fun.

Good communication builds good relationships

Just as between people, good relationships between

dogs and their owners are based on good

communication.

Dogs communicate between themselves by means of

body signals. It’s only natural, then, that they’ll use

the same method to communicate with people. Your

responsibility as a pet owner is to learn to interpret

such signals.

Doing so will enable you to teach your puppy or dog

the appropriate way of telling you what he or she

needs or would like, whether it’s food, to be let out,

to play or to receive some loving attention from you!

Reward good behaviour

Parents often don’t remember to praise their children

when they behave well, yet will never forget to tell

them when they do not. We tend to do the same with

our pets. We ignore them when they are quiet and

well behaved and pay them attention only when they

behave inappropriately. It’s always best to do the

reverse and praise and reward a desired behaviour,

and ignore the unwanted.

Ignore bad behaviour

Dogs, just like humans, are social animals and need

interaction with others, so withholding your attention

is a very effective passive punishment. For example,

if your dog jumps up on you, cross your arms, turn

your head away and remain absolutely silent until

they stop jumping. Don’t try to push them away,

look at or talk to them. They’ll interpret any of these

actions on your part as attention, or even play. When

your pet does finally sit, reward them with your

undivided attention and a treat of some kind.

If, in the past, you allowed your puppy or dog to

gain your attention by barking or jumping up on you,

you must realize that if you subsequently decide to

ignore such behaviour, your pet will only try longer

and harder to regain that attention. An analogy in

human terms would be a person who presses the

button of an elevator whose doors do not open. He or

she will press the button repeatedly, before giving up

and walking down the stairs.

Selecting Treats

Choose a very special food treat that your dog loves,

and hold it between the two fingers of a hand.

Place this hand close to the front of your pet’s nose

to let them know it’s time to work for a treat.

Experiment with different treats to find out what's

gets the most attention, avoid treats that are part of

your pets regular diet.

Tone of Voice:

* Decide at an early stage what words your dog

will be responding to.

* All family members should use the same

terminology so there is less chance of

confusing your pet.

* Keep commands short and distinct

* Be Consistent

Reward Regularly

Your dog will be trying really hard to do what your

asking, remember it’s not just the dogs fault if they

don’t understand, keep them engaged by rewarding

their efforts when they get close.

When they succeed in what you’re asking, reward

quickly and give extra praise.

Is your dog paying attention?

Dogs do react to eye contact and you should begin

training them to pay attention to you. Call your

puppy or dog by his or her name. As soon as they

look at you, you should give them a special treat.

Repeating this simple exercise at any time will teach

your pet that it is worthwhile to pay attention to you.

In fact, calling your pet’s name is an effective way

of interrupting, and thus eliminating, unwanted

behaviour. Making an unusual sound is another way

of interrupting. Once your dog is paying attention to

you, you can ask them to come or sit.

Play takes training, too!

Puppies and dogs need to

exercise and play and to have

contact and interaction with both

people and other dogs. They

should be taught to play with toys

only and should learn that human

hands, feet or any other body part

are not toys. If your pet grabs a

hand or foot, either intentionally

or accidentally, such behaviour

should be interrupted either by withholding your

attention (ignoring them) or by making a high-

pitched “ouch” sound. As soon as they let go, offer a

large toy and resume playing.
