Another of the bombs potential sires Bert. He was a great dog and pedigree is good but the market is top heavy with sons of the bomb so makes it hard to get a look in with all his half brothers at stud.

It really depends on whether you want to access aspects of his damline or not
He has Spiral Nikita via the damsire which you also get via Renegade Chief
But an interesting aspect to his pedigree is having Light of Fire up so close and then Flying Amy in the damline which can be linebred to JTB line bitches
It would be nice to see him get a few decent bitches but as Jack has pointed out, there are plenty of sons to compete with

Studmasters & owners of new-to-market sires need to be a lot more innovative than just spending money or media advrts Try this for size : $200-300 initial service fee, then $50-100 per live pup at 8 weeks (all via contract, of course)

free vial and pay surgical for bitches that have run above average time on any tab track over 400m.costly but beats hoping.

Kiss Me Ketut"s sister, Quick Succession, is a very smart bitch. Multiple city winner in fast times and a Group finalist while his half brother, Mystic Apple,( x Hallucinate) was a dual Group winner and very talented. I agree with Sandro that JTB line bitches would probably suit him with the Flying Amy influence. I notice Kiss Me Ketut is already registered as a stud dog so connections must have a stud career in mind. Kiss Me Ketut has box 1 in an Australian Cup heat tomorrow night but there"s a " pretty smart one" out in box 7 called MY BRO FABIO.

Hopefully some people do use him as well as mystic apple. There does seem to be a flood of bomb sires though, which i guess shows the quality of THE BOMB.

Ok Rod next Stud dog you have give it a go ...
Kiss Me Ketut was a great dog and with the a bit of luck he can get some nice girls but like all sires today it is a very hard game .

Kevin, In no way was I being critical of KMK. however "with a bit of luck" doesn't really cut it in marketing in a very competitive stud scene.

Rod I did not take it as that mate .
Its a battle getting 6 bitches even if you give them away .
I along with Robyn have put in place a game plan with Sure As and he served 18 or so bitches for free plus deals in Australia plus I have sent semen over to the Ireland and USA and we have also done the same thing there with the biggest breeders so just off the top of my head the costs have been well over 30k around abouts .
I have the utmost admiration for any person willing to take on a single stud dog let alone one who has more than one ..
Now more than ever the stud game is HARD and tough in any Country ..
KMK deserves to get his fair share of broods and I guess it depends on so many factors .. As you have seen I have had a go and many things I have done wrong but the only objective for me was to get bitches for all my sires and at least this way they will either fail or succeed but I see so many Good dogs go to waste because they do struggle to get one or two bitches in the first 6 to 12 months and to me I see this as a wasted opportunity .
