I dont look through rose coloured glasses sorry Matt I look for and love sires that continually pump city winners full stop and you cant argue that his not doing that. Obviously you love sires that throw great traits regardless of there ability to throw city class dogs on a regular basis and thats great for you I hope you have fun going down that path.

Can confirm that what posters above said about him throwing 'Spooky' or 'timid' dogs. My litter that are 12 weeks old where very spooky of me 1st time i saw them, took them a little while to warm up. Not a bad thing persay, just one of those sires that might need more hands on in the rearing phase and not just left in a paddock (They shouldn't be left in a paddock regardless of sire anyway).
However in saying that, they are beautiful pups. Great big feet, really solid size and already mad on the squeeker. Really looking forward to them maturing
The same things could be said about other current leading sires
But at the end its winners that count
How you manage to get them to that point is the key.

Yeah I have to agree that there are some top sires that are throwing a few less desirable traits. But I still believe that any sire has the ability to throw a good one given the right broodie, whelper, rearer, breaker and most importantly luck.
I have no problem with my bro fabio. Some just seem to be a little bit shy until they get to feel comfortable with their surroundings.

Time to stop bagging sires and have a look at the traits the broodies that go to them have (IMO), You can`t expect the sire to take away the faults your brood might have.

Do people know this dogs stats?
He seems to be getting a few winners in town and I doubt he would have had a lot of litters.
Whats people thoughts on this bloke as a stud dog?
We have used him once and we are more than happy.

Gday DArren. In short he had 113 odd litters between sept 2015 and mid 2017. That was at a time when people werent breeding a lot so he had good numbers. Since then he has served another 117 bitches so again really strong numbers.
I have just bought two straws and have every intention of using him soon with certain bitches that I think he is perfect for.
I havent used him before so have no experience with his pups. Breeding is hit and miss but I really like the match up for the plans I have.
The only slight concern I have is the size of Litters.
I really hope his pups kick on. Australia needs more sire options from local Dogs imo.

Plenty of options mate, just not many with the balls to use them.

Best value sire on the market personally, for what he has thrown city dog wise he is still very good value.
We used him over a bitch and one of the buyers put theirs round the bullring today at 5months old and put some 9month old pups to shame.
Big bulky dogs, bit stand offish at 1st but they're tenacious. Very excited about mine

He got a group 3 winner the other week from memory ?
One positive is he seems to be throwing stamina into a fair proportion of his stock.

A couple of group winners, a group 1 placing, vic bred final Sandown winner, a heap of winners in vic over the staying trips and consistently getting city winners Great price for a sire throwing pups that win where the good $$ are
