The pizzaz syndicate have a new litter of 6 healthy pups. Good luck to you all.
Also been a busy week for banjo boy with new 2 new girls served including kingsbrae knocka for Charlie Northfiel (what a nice bloke to by the way) who I think was done yesterday and 5 more booked to be done over the last few days and in the next week.
I keep being told be everyone how happy they are with the pups and I am sure these new litters will be equally exciting for those concerned.
Some very sad news as well for one breeder who was the first person to call me about using banjo boy when he was racing. Unfortunately his bitch died following the insemination. It was later revealed she had a tumour on her kidney and liver. I know how gutted this person will be who loves his girl and am sure we can find a banjo for him although nothing ever replaces the ones you lose.
Hope everyone is getting through after a tough week. Best

Some more exciting news today. NZ greyhound racing have ordered 6 straws to go to the Island of the long white cloud. I am led to believe this only happens when people request or seek out a dog. That is such great news for ken and I. So whoever has sought him out good luck.
Nice to be giving something back to nz in return for the wine and fish I have been enjoying over the years.
I can tell you it was a great buzz to get that call today as it was that his sister banjo star had 7 pups to Mogambo, 4 dogs and 3 bitches. Great day.

There's that Mogambo/zarbo x off springer cross again Corey. I have two litters doing the same thing and am very excited about both. All physically terrific and all seem to have a similar desire to grab a squeaker like the old man. I am sure you will be equally exited as they grow.

Im interested in some breeders opinionsif you were using an american sire with a banjo boy bitch who would you use?
Would breeders consider kinloche brae?

Hi brad. Nothing wrong with that. Also like Hondo black who I have looked at but no idea how to get one of those. Good thing is we already have American blood through Penske. There are so many options with your girls as his lines are pretty well free of the three main lines in Australia. Bombastic, Brett lee and collision. Opens up the options that's for sure. Hope girls are good.

Hey Andrew how many pups are on the ground for Banjo Boy.
Im going to throw you a hard question here. What stud dogs do you think will click with Banjo Boy bitches. Ive got a couple real nice types of bitches up here out of Banjo Boy / Oamaru Lass.
Even more excited about Banjo Boy / Thats my clouds (Mogambo x Haylee Louise).

Corey there is much you can do with his bitches in the future. He has an a grade damline and no just the best, Brett lee, bombastic or collision blood in him. The world is your oyster really.
Personally I like sires with the best damlines. I also like to match traits of dogs with traits of other dogs.
My top three are Magic sprite, Barcia bale and for fast early bitches by banjo boy I love my bro fabio mainly cause I love zarbo.
But there is a long way to go and there are no rules. Lol enjoy night.

Hi Bernard. Sorry have been playing a cricket grand final today. We won so that means now having a long night. Might look at this with a clear head tomorrow. Just don't want to be rude and ignore you. Best Andrew
Do you have questions about breeding theories?
