Sire Premier Fantasy (Premier County-Nifty Niamh) was a real superstar in Ireland. A multiple Group winner, he was a raging hot odds-on favourite to win the English Derby only to break his hock in a semi-final. He was named Irish greyhound of the year and was a Shelbourne Park track record breaker. At stud he has been a sensation with such high class offspring as Fear Zafonic (the English greyhound of the year and now a success at stud in Australia), and importantly he has been dominant in Australia where he has sired many of the country’s best race dog in the past few years. Irish Malt (Where’s Pedro-Kumar Bale) is a Wheeler family-bred bitch who raced just seven times for three wins and three placings. But she showed through VERY fast wins twice at Sandown that she could have been special.Her own dam Kumar Bale won eight and was placed eight times in 25 starts and was a city winner at Wentworth Park and Cannington. This is the famous Gail’s Beauty family that has stood the test of time decade after decade. SHIFTY STICKA’s pedigree shows some clever line breeding and also the recreation of highly successful crosses. In fact, SHIFTY STICKA’s pedigree is a virtual recreation of that which produced champion Fear Zafonic, Premier Fantasy’s son who is already a stud success. SHIFTY STICKA is the result of an intense reinforcement of the famous Skipping Chick and “Millie” bloodlines. It also brought in a 4x5 duplication and sex balance to champion US stud dog HB’s Commander via a daughter and son. The fact Grove Whisper appears in the damline of your bitch means he is positioned to impact with Wise Memory and Murlens Chill in the pedigree of Premier Fantasy. All three are from the Millie damline. Many of the star performers by Premier Fantasy in Australia carry this Grove Whisper cross in their damline. Prince Diablo does and so does multiple Group winner Tuiaki. Farloe Melody traces through his dam Chini Chin Chin to the Skipping Chick damline and this famous speed line is found in Premier Fantasy’s pedigree via Skelligs Tiger and his genetic brother Daleys Gold. Kiowa Sweet Trey is found as the damsire of Irish Malt and his champion son Flying Stanley is out of a bitch that is from the same damline as Premier Fantasy. Kiowa Sweet Trey’s fourth dam Snooty Tooty has a very important cross of the brothers Tell You Why and Metal Jet (Rocket Jet-Gorgeous Babe) Aussie imports who became greats in the US. Their brother Magic Babe is duplicated in the pedigree of Temora Lee the dam of legendary Temlee. Which brought about the pedigree of SHIFTY STICKA one of the best sprinters seen in Australia in the past few years … a Group 1 performer from a 100% winning litter. With SHIFTY STICKA at stud, he opens up a myriad of opportunities for broodbitch owners to utilize his fabulous pedigree. So where do we start?
