Good luck to you both. I hope there are some super fast ones there for you. Zoenahs entity and Paris Valentino were also done on Friday so should be 10 or so litters on Friday. Exciting times.

Hi ray. Yes that is the plan. National sprint and Melbourne cup will probably see him out. He is well. We ran out of straws, we had 15, and took the chance to draw a few more for the spring which we hope will be used. We also want to avoid racing and drawing at the same time. He is back in full work as of today really.
Anybody who is unsure about using Banjo Boy let me show you video taken 6 days ago. My Banjos are bigger than pups that are 2 weeks older . Throws a great pup I will let you make your own mind up
Andrew, I like Banjo Boy a lot, he is a super quick dog and his dam line is second to none. I was just wondering if you could fill me in on, what his temperment is like, Thanks.

Hi Mick,
There are two sides to the dog. He is an extremely good kennel dog and always has been. Not a barker and relaxed. The other side to him is that he is an extremely fierce chaser. In Ken's words, he would chase a mop.
He was a natural chaser the first time Grant Fullerton put him behind a lure and remains the case today. So to this point he has always given his all and chased as hard as he could.
Best way to describe it is he was born to chase and as Ken said to me, "could never be turned into a pet no matter how hard you tried" because of his natural instincts.
If he throws his desire to chase into his pups I will be very happy.
And you can always call Ken on 0488 553 832 and he will give you more detail as he has spent every day with the dog since he was 6 months of age.
