You need to see your dogs at least go under 19sec there, anything under 18.50 is good. Under 18 is top shelf

I might be wrong but I didn't think it was running that quick these days. You want dogs breaking 19 sec but I think if you go under 18.6 or so is very good and under 18.2 -18.30 is outstanding. I don't think sub 18 happens much at all these days does it?

Times have varied there in the past for different reasons. My experience is if they at least break 18.70 & chase hard, hold on etc, then you have a pretty good base to work on.

Ok so if a dog went there and went 18.20's or below what's that dog worth if it was on the market? Yeah that's the whisper I heard not many go under 18.30's there now

VERY good breakin, they don't go much quicker I don't think.

So if you had one that quick what would it be worth Doug do you think?

Mate pretty hard to price dogs off breakin for mine because of so many variables around how much work/prep they'd done beforehand, how immature they are etc. Johnny Collins is the best bloke to talk to given he's seen the dog go around and how forward it is etc but I'd imagine it's well into five figures.

Nice to think 5 figures wld be within reach . Yeah I suppose they still have to go on with it but straight out of a yard, no work put in and to go up there and go in the 20's suppose he wldnt need to improve much to be a good one the given what you have told me.

I was at John's on go home day for the June/July break-ins and heard John say " top shelf " about a dog that went 18.23, so if that was yours Adam good luck to you.
