How soon before we see any of Rioga's pups on the track Annmarie?
John two or three from his first litter(X Catacchio) have just started trailing
Mine have started ripping each other apart Charlie, very firey. Great stamp of a pup. Best looking bitch pups I've had at this age. No hesitation in using rioga again.

Good too hear Michael , i haven't seen mine since the day i bought him ......i'll pay him a visit next month when my next bill is due what i found really strange Micheal is there's this Catacchio litter (june 2013) then no other litter till November 2013 registered........there was tweleve 2013 matings registered in totalwith the ICC so still nine to be registered with the IGB
We have the first litter by Rioga, one dog and one bitch qualified so far, bitch should be running in Cork within the next two weeks, thoughts on them so far............... Well everything we have asked of them so far has been as good as anything we have had in the past forty years, attitude, temperament, keeness absolutely top class, very,very genuine,as regards pace, a little too early to tell yet but we shall know soon enough
Charlie, the reason there is a big gap between the first mating and the next is that Rioga was still running when we used him, he had not been retired to stud at that stage, we liked him and asked if we could use him and there was no problem

Yes Michael,they are pretty fiery but also have fantastic temperaments at the same time, they remind me of the old type dog that you wouldn't trust or would take a chunk out of you if you weren't careful unlike a lot of soft ones today!!!

I love that, just can't leave the gits with the Mrs to look after. They're as strong a pup I've seen.
