I think this dog will earn his place in the top three sires slot. Reasonably priced, a lot of ordinary bitches, but throws types. Two years will tell. Yes , we have bred to him. Twenty five years on, a breeding comeback, in these times. Why?? Because, can't buy anything but the dregs of the litter from good bitches. So have done this. My Bro Fabio- Hadley And Jones. Bag me in two years time. P.S . Have bred three track record holders, originating from a bitch that won three races. One of those wins, was after a litter, five years old? I have come to the conclusion, it's all about " looks , perceived ability,and most of all temperament. Can anyone do the click thing My Bro Fabio -- Hadley And Jones. Cheers. Waiting for the bagging???

Embrace the bagging Russ, it builds determination. Im looking at doing something very similar with Where's Pedro soon. Not sure how often it's been done?

Fabio & Fernando are the two young guns that are rating highly
Will wait 6 months to judge DDO
Awesome Project, Dyna Villa and Allen Deed going well with only a handful on the ground
Of imports SH Avatar is the newest one and he is throwing good strength/class from limited vials here in Oz
Outside of those very little others coming through as breeders have dropped off and those that are left are going to well proven sires

Well done Russ and good luck , we all know it's a tough gig ! Just a warning or heads up , from more then a hand full of Poeple that have used My bro Fabio and concluded that they wouldn't use him again , make sure you give em extra handling then normal , expose them early to as much as u can to different Poeple or surroundings! They can be timid , inward and slightly spookish. Poeple will jump on here now and say there's aren't this , that's great ! Just passing on what is a growing trend and a common conclusion most are coming to ! He can produce a nice type , just do the work early with them to help assist or erase the difficulties others are having ! Cheers bud good luck again
Funny about that Nathan, I have heard the same thing about Fernando's and experienced the same with one that I race now.
He needed plenty of attention up to 6 months of age otherwise he could have been lost to 'pet world'
Ironically, they are two of the best sires rating highly at the moment
I've just bought a Fabio pup and I guarantee he will be getting plenty of early education
Collisions pups have always been known to be a 'soft' breed.
However, the same focus on early education wasn't around when he started off at stud otherwise his record may have been even more brilliant than what it ended up
A lot of the work was done much later, usually too late, and then it was survival of the keenest.
Perhaps there is a lesson there for all pups regardless of the sire
Nice head up Nathan I just bought a 6 month pup that wasnt the biggest girl but was the most forward but also wasnt hung up on getting patted she did her own thing that I really liked she has settled in very well at new place, one thing what MBF throws into a pup is very nice big strong looking time will tell if I picked the right one but at this stage I am very happy
