Take a look at the top Offspring of Kiowa Mon Manny ..

CLICK HERE You will see almost all carry in there dam HB COMMANDER ...

If you take a look at his second top offspring CLICK HERE
You will see why it's the xfactor is there and why it works and what lines it works best with ..

Avatars and Infareds Top Off Spring also show you a road map to follow

Why reinvent the wheel when all you have to do is follow what is already out there working today ...

It's not about reinventing the wheel Kevin , it's about trying to find a genetically valid reason why a niche or cross may work. If you don't have that reason why something may work then you are guessing or you may draw incorrect conclusions why a mating may work. But hey each to their own.

Correct Ryan i guess that is why you never used to support the American sire ..

Now you are suggesting why it worked but lets face it you had no idea a few years ago but how times change...

You now are looking outside the square and this was something you never used to do Ryan ..

I have always looked outside the square in fact i was one of the people pumping up the USA bred sires a few years ago when you were knocking them all ..

Kevin I have never knocked US sires but I have not been complimentary of the vast majority US racedogs that were brought here to race. They are 2 different things Kevin which you always seem to think are the same.

I was a huge rap for Demon Bale and his litter for example. Cheers.

Ryan you never used any US bred sire in any of your breeding discussions or suggestions and many times you would steer many away from such thoughts because they had no Xand Y to compare with ..
Ryan not once did i ever see you post anything positive about any US sire ...

Now you have some Xand Y to use for examples but once again you are chasing something that is not proven either way and all i say for people to do is to have a look at what has worked for years back and forth it continues today and it just so happens the Sire of Sires today is Kiowa Mon Manny now tell us ryan what made him that carrier of these genes and not some other Flying Penske son ..

Kiowa Mon Manny's bloodline is getting better each generation so tell us why this happens to some and not to other sires and then if you can work it all out then you will make a million bucks selling your breeding idea's Ryan ...

There is no one idea or formula that works and you have to first see the second top Offspring to really understand how it all works ....

If you have looked at the links i have provided you will see what works and what don't work ,

Ryan if we all followed your breeding theories years ago then we would not have the sires and dogs we have today .....

You get paid for breeding advice i don't .....

In conclusion Ryan
We are not experts and no one is trying to sway people away from your breeding theories but i use everything available to me when designing a mating you seem to just follow your X and Y breeding ideologies....You my friend are in the square and you don't realize it ...
Have a great 2019 Ryan

Out of 125 pups running in Ire/UK and Aus 33 of them are rated 100 or more. 19 of them are from Ire/UK. So Aus has 14 dogs rated 100 or more from 55 dogs.

I actually thought he had alot more runners than 125 for Ire/UK and Aus. Needs alot more to really Judge.

Sorry to side track this debate but who updates the top offspring of a sire on data cause I know Fabios stats of his top offspring are completely out of whack and dont show a true reflection so would this be the same for all sires cause if so its a bit useless using these stats to prove a point

Mark the Stats get updated slower for the Aussie Sires but the US UK Stats are up to date ...

Its a tool to use and the second top Offspring do show a road to follow ..

Have good 2019

haha Sandro, I'd forgotton about him, he won 10 races at the Meadows & Sandown.

I remember Len saying to me he was standing there waiting to trial him before he bagan racing and a top trainer walked past and said "gee that's a nice looking pup Len, whats he by ?"

Len replied "Fortified Speed"

Top trainer: "Well that's the end of that then !"

I still laugh about that, thx for the memory, but Kevin will probably say he doesn't count he's half Irish. I wonder which one of us has an agenda ummmm. Good point you make! cheers.

my total exposure to SH progeny is 1 as I have a pup out of SH Avatar He is doing evertying right just later, in all areas, including took quite a while to get him lead broken, only just had a growth spurt in recent weeks, has just starting racing competivley with dogs next to him and at 11 months in interested in the sqeaker and biting, he was also very small but jusy had a growth spurt to 30Kg. In general do they come to hand slower? as my immediate thought is to hold him back from break in until he is a bit older.

Interested in thoughts

Hi rob

My rule is straight away with an outcross , give em time

A blunt example is put 2 pups together , one being a Barcia Bale and the other a full outcross

Itll smack you in the face the difference in time needed for growing ,maturing and finding its stride or groove as an all round athlete with an outcross

In the same breathe Im not saying back off your avatar

I would have taken him to a bullring at 6 mths to play and get comfortable with the arm !
It helps massively later with progress in all areas , travelling ,people , lead work ,collar work and being outgoing !

But here you are at 1 year

If you arent doing it yourself from 6 mths old and taking time and hes being sent away for 4-6 weeks

Id let him grow a bit until 14mths

Id be specific with who I sent it to in the fact that you arent interested in pushing him in times and distance

Youd rather more time at a slow rate spent on box work

Hes 14 mths old if you are looking at the best interest of your dog and remembering hes an outcross , the time he runs at breaker means absolutely nothing at that age

He is going to improve 10 lengths from then until he hits 2

They are all different rob in the head so in terms of being slow to come to hand is everybodys own opinion on their own pup

In switching on I would say they are naturals
Everything else yes I would say give em time ! And dont be disappointed early on in results

As long as the drill is being completed that you have set and he is sound is the main thing

The rest will take care of itself !

Sorry if elaborating on areas not interested in
Cheers

appreciate the response Nathan - all makes a lot of sense. What you metioned has precisley occurred as the EGS pup l have with him is always a long way ahead even though he is younger. I tend to put a lot of work in prior to breaking including lead, drag and bull ring which has delivered good results however taken him along time to work out as l started at around 5-6 months. I am likley to now break them in together so teh SH will be around 15 months. Thanks

No worries rob

Another thing rob Ive just remembered and i think its quite important

Theres a lot of reports they can be or are very relaxed

This rings true with mine and a few others in the same litter

With these traits I found ,like your finding now with yours is I remember when I did work with all my dogs that the avatar being relaxed I would find myself doing more work or Id push him in repeating the drill until he displayed the same as the others !

After a while I caved and I just let him do it at his own pace and style

But I did go through a period of pushing with him in particular and it wasnt until I backed off and went for minimal drills and really enjoying them in that moment ! in comparison with a lot of drills and being disappointed a lot of the time ,that he really found himself

They dont need much ,just quality

They are not a constant high voltage dog

Ok cheers good luck

I can only speak of the one S H Avatar bitch that I have she does everything that is asked of her with minimal fuss. Quite,clean,adaptable,keen but not over the top. She doesn't have much leg under her or length, but a big deep chest and rear end.
