I have a bitch due to be served { natural } any day by him. My bitch is "Stanley Lass " { she is almost identical in bloodlines to the dam of SPACE STAR - Tonto Tears }
Ray. Not trying to be smart here but would you mind explaining why Bekim Bale would be so much better than Hooksy in this mating?

A fair question Ray. I am backing my judgement on " Hooksy " this time around.
a good move mick, needs my of that backing judgement, your bitch breed who wont,
In defence of Ray,s comment, the cross with Bekim Bale produced Space Star { not a bad dog }. It is always hard to select the right sire for your bitch. There are a lot of potentially good sire,s in the " market place ". I considered " Banjo Boy / Walk Hard / Bit Chili / Surf Mail " as well as Bekim Bale. I was going to get her mated to " Premier Boloney " last year , however she went off season I,m not sure that " Copy Cat " breeding is successful. In the end I chose " Hooksy " not only for his breeding and ability, but for the opinion " The Auld " family had of their dog. There are no more astute " Greyhound People " in the Industry.

Bekim Bale is the #1 sire in Melb, so he is wel and truly proven
Also as mentioned he is the Father of Space Star, who comes from the exact dam line of the bitch in mention
Hooksey was a Hell of a dog but he is a unproven sire against an unproven bitch

Is this boy at stud yet, or will he be making a come back?
I'm super keen on using him on one of my girls, her line produced very well to EJ Douglas way back in her line, so I'd love to see if I can bring the line back to life with Hooksy!
Do you have questions about greyhound racing?
