The only way he can become a good sire is if breeders breed bitches to him

The link by Premier Fantasy to Irish blood

His own dam line going back to Wee Sal - the dam line of Brett Lee

Nitro Burst's damline goes back to Marungi Girl which is also further back in Brett Lee's dam line

Therefore, you have two links to Brett Lee's damline in the two parents

It will see him be suitable for a number of Irish broods

Breeders should take the time to inspect him. He is a magnificent animal in the flesh.

I understand no one wants to be the guinea pig but, I hope some breeders have a more open view when investigating his pedigree and his outstanding performances and provide some bitches for him

PS He would also nick very well with Kinloch Brae broods as well

My negativity may have been focusing on one part of his pedigree but that one part is a very important part all the other sires I mentioned also have different dam lines some as good and better than smart misiles but they do all have one thing in common and that's the sire line which in my opinion has not been successful over here...

Imo....this dog would have had 50 litters on the ground by now if the above was not true.

It would have been a very hard decision for the owners to sent this dog overseas, but they obviously want to give him a chance.

I'm sure the owners would have kept enough breeding units here in oz for those interested, once our leaders see the light & encourage breeding once again.

He's your gain & our loss.

I respect your opinion, but I will leave you with one thought

In the USA, Craigie Mo Town sires and Molotov lines sires are few and far between and rarely used but thank god someone in Ireland had the bottle to use Kinloch Brae.

Those who had vision were well and truly rewarded in spades

Until breeders use him and test his stock no one will know how Smart Missile will throw and if Bombastic Shiraz, which makes up 12.5% of his pedigree will have a positive or negative influence on his pups

Smart breeders will already know how to use him

Just to respond as only facts and evidence can influence opinions and dispel myths.

To be able to compare the progeny of both sire lines and make an objective decision on Bombastic Shiraz just look at the disparity of numbers.

Top Honcho and Head Honcho Sons have produced in excess of 8000 litters in the last decade. Somewhere in excess of 40, 000 dogs made the track.

Bombastic Shiraz and sons have had a total of 249 litters in the same period. Around 1245 made the track. 50 % of these pups were produced by one sire. He has been disappointing,

Bombastic Shiraz on his own from 10 litters produced Bling Bling Buzz, Mill Bling Bling, Romeo Recruit, Romeo Patriot, Trade Freddie, Chenzhou Boy,
A fantastic return from tiny numbers. Its flippant to say he has been a failure based on the numbers and competition he has punched far above his weight.

Smart Missile was a racing machine and his Sire Nitro Burst (Melbourne Cup winner) is throwing pace and chase into his offspring. His dam lines on both sides are very strong. both dam lines have produced continually.

For the breeding buffs the dominant lines in the pedigree of Smart Missile are Ginger and Hotshot. The duplication of both Sires in the sire line and dam line have worked well. Also Smart Missile carries 4 crosses of Eagle Hawk Star ( Remember Frightful Flash).

With Premier Fantasy as the dam Sire this opens up the possibility of nicks with Top Honcho and Droopys Scolari broods.

Kinloch Brae broods in my opinion will be ideally suited as the duplication of Im Slippy in all crosses will produce the goods. (just look at the Top offspring of Kinloch Brae) Ballymac Vic is a product of such a cross. He also now gives a very interesting option to breeders with Superior Product dams.

As for stud fees if you have a look at the seventh kennels face book page you will see that he is available for a very reasonable fee to serious breeders.

He is here because he is the real deal, he ran against the best competed won, lost and raced always in top company. He is a Speed Star winner and a track record holder he deserves his shot.

Its not the prerogative of the top studs to find the best potential stud dogs us smaller guys can find them as well.

Its not the prerogative of the top studs to find the best potential stud dogs us smaller guys can find them as well...same as the smaller guy can produce a champion or do you not agree... I consider myself a smaller breeder I have some lovely broods some to note Alice my angel, coolavanny park, timberoe....but because I'm not a serious breeder I get charged more... You should never label anyone...its not good business...

I completely agree with you the small guys can and do produce champions. Therefore given the lovely dams you have you are indeed a serious breeder and you are obviously very committed to your dogs. I hear you rear them well which is half the battle. Please don't take offence none was meant. To clarify the term serious in the context in which it was meant it refers to people who will look after pups and give them the best possible start. Small or large breeders there is no discrimination in our eyes we just want committed people who are serious about giving pups the beat possible chance.

If you get the chance have a look at the facebook page and avail of the reduced fees and if you want a bitch picked and dropped home after her date with Missile we can arrange that as well.
