Registered by Roger Bloomfield, for the Kane It Syndicate, the two dogs and eight bitches, are from the very well bred bitch, Broadway Miss (February 2013 Mogambo x Transmit), whose dam is by Digital* x Lark Song* (Droopys Vieri x Wise Beauty). She was the standout in her litter of four named, who all won, and her contribution was ten wins and 16 placings from 33 starts. Her track career started in Victoria where she won twice over 600 metres at The Meadows (34.53) and twice over 515 metres at Sandown (29.54), where she also won over 595 metres (34.26). Relocated to Tasmania in May 2016, whe won four times over 515 metres at Launceston (29.94) and also over 452 metres at Devonport (26.05). She has two named offspring, both winners from her first litter, whelped in December 2015 by Barcia Bale, and this litter, with eight bitches, has potential for future breeding written all over it.

** New in Top 20
Fernando Bale and Barcia Bale completely dominated the first month’s racing on Melbourne’s two metropolitan tracks in January. The pair sired the winners of an amazing 60 races between them. Fernando Bale has had an amazing start to his stud career, when you take into account the fact he had his first metropolitan winner less than a year ago. Looking at the top five after deducting Sunday and midweek provincial stake meetings, Fernando Bale leads with 21 wins, followed by Barcia Bale with 13 wins, Fabregas with 5 wins and Kiowa Mon Manny* with 4 wins. Just outside the top 20, all with two wins each are: Magic Sprite, Talk’s Cheap, Walk hard, Black Magic Opal, Turanza Bale, Vee Man Vane, Cosmic Chief, Paw Licking and Yahoo Omar* Next week we will have the January Metropolitan sires list for N.S.W.

* Import or O/seas based. Totals
THIS week’s review of litters selected from the NSW Whelping Report for the week ending 9 November, starts with two litters by Banjo Boy (April 2011 Vee Man Vane x Off Springer). Stratheded breeder, Toni Northfield has the first of the two litters, which has four dogs and two bitches, from the well bred bitch, Kingsbrae Nelly (March 2013 Bralyn County x Kingsbrae Sally), whose dam is by Bit Chili x Kingsbrae Di (Solve The Puzzle x Pretty Jacalyn). She is from a litter of 12 named, which produced ten winners who won 131 races between them, including, Porky Teller, 33 wins, Mincin’ Machine, 30 wins, Western Dave, 16 wins, It’s His Job, 11 wins and Bralyn Jackson, 10 wins. She raced 51 times for nine wins and eight placings, winning four times over 520 metres at Lismore (30.01) and three times over 520 metres at Albion Park (30.17), with single wins over 411 metres at Casino (23.50) and 520 metres at Tweed Heads (29.59). She has four named offspring from her first litter, whelped in April 2016, by Don’t Knocka Him, who are not two years old yet, and also has a litter of six dogs and two bitches on file, whelped in February 2017, by Peter Rocket, so she certainly has some well bred pups on the ground.
WERRINGTON DOWNS breeder, Edward Foyle has the other Banjo Boy litter, and must be delighted with the nine dogs and one bitch pup, from the well bred bitch, Rema’s Topaz (January 2011 Goodesy x Guantanamo Dot), whose dam is by Eiffella x Rema’s Puzzle (Solve The Puzzle x Princess Rema). She is from a litter of five named, with four winners, including her nine wins and 17 placings from 57 starts. Four of those wins were over 515 metres at The Gardens (29.78), two wins over 537 metres at Traralgon (31.00) and she also won over 520 metres at Wentworth Park (30.18), 530 metres at Potts Park (29.99) and 520 metres at Bathurst (30.16). Her career as a brood bitch has got off to a good start with all five named in her first litter winning, Diane’s Gift, Minnie Wizard, Rema’s Amber, Rema’s Prince and Sketchy Jack, who were whelped in November 2014, by Barcia Bale.
Two Barcia Bale Litters TWO litters on the list this week by leading national sire, Barcia Bale (March 2010 Go Wild Teddy x Princess Bale). Benjamin Miller, from Orange, has the first of the two litters, which has four dogs and five bitches, from the beautifully bred, lightly raced bitch, Midnight Maid (September 2011 Where’s Pedro x Midnight Movie), whose dam is by Spiral Nikita* x Midnight Drama (Go Wild Teddy x Ready To Rise). She is from a handy litter of nine named, which produced eight winners, including Midnight Rumour, 10 wins, and Midnight Scandal, 8 wins. Her records shows she was lightly raced with just 12 starts, which resulted in three wins and five placings, with wins over 450 metres at Ballarat (25.62), 480 metres at Horsham (27.44) and 407 metres at Grafton (23.20). She has two named offspring on file from her first litter, Cyril Figgis, who was placed in a Bathurst trial recently, and Game Of Bones who impressed winning a Bathurst trial on 18 January, so keep an eye out for them both when they face the starter again.

Made of Steel RAYMOND TERRACE breeder, Kanneth Catford has the other Barcia Bale litter, which has five dogs and one bitch, by the well bred bitch, Steel The Best (March 2013 Magic Sprite x Best Percentage), whose dam is by Big Daddy Cool x Apache Apron (Token Prince x Percentage). She was the standout performer in a litter of eight named, all winners, which included Wild Effective, 18 wins, Effective Power, 16 wins and Almost Magic, 11 wins. She raced 75 times, for 21 wins and 25 placings, winning on 13 different tracks, 520 metres at Wentworth Park (30.38), 515 metres at Sandown (29.47), 525 metres at The Meadows (30.00), 400 metres at Maitland (22.56), 400 metres at The Gardens (22.47), 400 metres at Richmond (4 times B 22.56), 400 metres at Gosford (22.28), 390 metres at Shepparton (21.65rec), 390 metres at Warrnamnool (21.99), 390 metres at Ballarat (21.82), 400 metres at Geelong (22.54), 425 metres at Bendigo (23.94) and 440 metres at Sale (24.84). People often email me asking for recommendations on breeding and for over 40 years now I have had a specific policy on not giving advice. Many years ago I was accused, on a greyhound chat site, of favouring a particular sire, in return for payment. The matter was settled out of court, and it has never happened again, to my knowledge anyway. If people want to know what I think, they only have to read the reviews and I say that now, because if I was looking to buy a bitch with potential future breeding in mind, one from this litter who come to mind, with her dam line boasting Magic Sprite, Big Daddy Cool and Token Prince and her city race record.
Hay Fergus
Hay Fergus litter RAYMOND TERRACE breeder, Lesley Green has a nice litter of eleven pups on the list this week by the beautifully bred, under-rated stud prospect, Hay Fergus (March 2013 Brett Lee x Daydream), whose dam is by Bit Chili (Bombastic Shiraz x Chili Berger) from Stresa (Bobniak x Always Royal). The four dogs and seven bitches in this litter are from the well bred, versatile performer and proven producer, Shoe Laces Lady (July 2011 Cool Effort x Thing Ona String), whose dam is by Yo Yo’s Boy x Zane’s Girl (Head Honcho x Malawi Blue). She is from a litter of six named, with five winners and her contribution was 58 starts, for 14 wins and 18 placings, with wins from 420 metres at 720 metres. She won eight races at Lismore, six over 635 metres (37.74), where she also won over 520 metres (30.87) and 420 metres (24.55), twice over 610 metres at Grafton (35.30), with single wins over 715 metres at The Gardens (41.79), 720 metres at Wentworth Park (43.06) and 600 metres at Albion Park (35.33) where she also won over 710 metres (43.06). She has winners on file from her first litter.

Two Fabio Litters My Bro Fabio
TWO litters on the list this week by the emerging stud success, My Bro Fabio (March 2012 Turanza Bale x Flamenco), whose dam is by Where’s Pedro x Zarbo (Bright Ebony x Gold Serenade).

WAGGA WAGGA breeder, David Jones, has the second My Bro Fabio litter, which has six dogs and one bitch, from the beautifully bred bitch, Paua To Admit (January 2013 Fabregas x Paua To Terrify), whose dam is by Spiral Nikita* x Paua To Burn (Awesome Assassin x Alice Dooley). She is from a litter of eight named with the five who raced, all winning.

GCA GREYHOUND OF THE MONTH AWARD JANUARY 2018 “OUT OF RANGE”
Out Of Range leads all the way in the Silver Chief Final (Pic Clint Anderson) The GCA Greyhound of the Month for January 2018 has been awarded to star young Victorian sprinter Out Of range for his outstanding win in the Group 1 Silver Chief Classic at the Meadows on 5 January. After a 30.17sec heat victory, Out Of Range ran second in his semi-final, but started $2.40 favourite in 2018’s first Group 1 event, courtesy of a rails draw and an imposing six from eight record over The Meadows’ 525m course. Out Of Range took full advantage of his prized inside alley to hold the lead in the all-important charge to the first turn. While Out Of Range wasn’t able to break clear, he kept kicking strongly to repel Degani by .79 of a length in 29.83sec, eclipsing his previous personal best of 29.90sec at The Meadows, with Fast Car Driving close up in third. Out Of Range’s litter brother and kennelmate Poke The Bear was first reserve for the Silver Chief and while he missed a shot at the $100,000 winner’s purse, Poke The Bear set The Meadows alight earlier in the night when coming from the rear of the field to
clock a scintillating 29.71sec in the free-for-all. Out Of Range has now won nine of his 14 starts, while Poke The Bear has won 10 from 16. “We named Out Of Range after Kelvin Jones, who is here tonight. Kelvin has been training for us for a lot of years (in conjunction with Gerry O’Keeffe), and he has had a bit to do with this dog. His phone is always out of range,” Darren Puleio laughed. “I only breed one or two litters a year because I work full-time running Ram Security, which sponsors the Cranbourne and Warragul greyhound clubs.

Happy Birthday Today we turn 14 and 12! A big happy birthday to my two babies, I love them to pieces and so proud of them. Birthday breakfast of peanut butter on toast and hopefully some pupcakes later after dinner. (Tara Martin - Moonee Ponds)
Andrea Moss commented on facebook: I'd love to get some advice on whether to go with a Black Dog balance harness or Black Dog training halter for my grey, Billy (they're the two options I've narrowed it down to). The problem: he's about 33kg and I'm not big, and when he gets excited he's capable of literally pulling me off my feet with the current setup of GAP collar and regular lead. He gets most excited by trees and poles - especially during the first half of the walk, he lunges at them to pee. The other time when this is an issue is when he sees medium to big dogs, particularly when they're off lead and racing around the park. I haven't worked out yet whether he's just excited and wants to join them or is fearful (I found out that he was bitten by another dog just before entering GAP, to the extent that one of his teeth was fractured and had to be pulled and he still has a scar on his nose). When approached for sniffing, he often pivots on his lead, jumps around, and sometimes leaps forward toward the other dog (no growling and only occasional barking). I obviously need to do more work with him around other dogs and on the lead, but I'm not going to be able to do that until I have a better lead/halter/harness setup that gives me a chance of controlling him more effectively. Recommendations and tips would be wonderful - thanks. PS. He's very well behaved and mannered at other times - he waits for me to tell him to eat before he eats his breakfast and dinner and to take treats, has learned not to go into the laundry even when the door is wide open (the kitty litter is in there), will go on to his bed when told to, responds to "uh uh" when he's about to do something I don't want him to do, etc. He just gets so stimulated and excited on walks that it interferes with his listening and responsiveness. Maaiki Salter replied: Have you considered a halti type. You then have control of the head. Walking harnesses can quite often be slipped out of, unless you get one designed for fly ball. Ed says: Give Liz Bruekink a call - 0410 043 218

GAP News the GAP facility. “I can’t get over his gentle nature,” Kylie said. “He is so laid back and gentle.” Bobby retired from the racing track 12 months ago. His trainer Simon Barker, who had Bobby for two years – first to train him, then as a pet – always thought Bobby was a special dog with a beautiful nature. Originally known as Dark Jameson he also had success on the track, with 13 wins and 27 minor placings in 77 starts. “It broke my heart to let him go,” he says, “but my 101year-old dad has come to live with me again and we’re worried that he will trip over the dog or the gate will be left open. It wasn’t safe for dad or the dog.” It was a difficult decision to make but Simon is happy that he has gone to a loving home. Bobby the greyhound has swapped the racing track for Bobby had a moment in the limelight as a radio star just before the adoption weekend.

Braydon, Makaya and Kyran, found Bobby at the greyhound adoption weekend which was held at GAP’s GAP Adoptions Manager Larissa Darragh said “the program is continuing to go from strength to strength headquarters at Seymour.

More than 1300 greyhounds were rehomed by GAP last financial year and GAP aims to better that figure this Bobby has settled very comfortably into his new home.

Greyhounds Home Training Tips Behaviour and Positive training Social skills aren’t just for humans! One of the most important lessons your puppy or dog should learn is that they must sit before interacting with you or any other human. You can teach a puppy or mature dog to do almost any trick. Dogs learn at any age, as long as lessons are repeated often enough and teaching sessions are short and fun.
Selecting Treats Choose a very special food treat that your dog loves, and hold it between the two fingers of a hand. Place this hand close to the front of your pet’s nose to let them know it’s time to work for a treat. Experiment with different treats to find out what's gets the most attention, avoid treats that are part of your pets regular diet.
Tone of Voice: * Decide at an early stage what words your dog Good communication builds good relationships will be responding to. Just as between people, good relationships between * All family members should use the same dogs and their owners are based on good terminology so there is less chance of communication. confusing your pet. Dogs communicate between themselves by means of * Keep commands short and distinct body signals. It’s only natural, then, that they’ll use * Be Consistent the same method to communicate with people. Your responsibility as a pet owner is to learn to interpret Reward Regularly such signals. Doing so will enable you to teach your puppy or dog Your dog will be trying really hard to do what your asking, remember it’s not just the dogs fault if they the appropriate way of telling you what he or she needs or would like, whether it’s food, to be let out, don’t understand, keep them engaged by rewarding to play or to receive some loving attention from you! their efforts when they get close. When they succeed in what you’re asking, reward quickly and give extra praise. Reward good behaviour Parents often don’t remember to praise their children Is your dog paying attention? when they behave well, yet will never forget to tell them when they do not. We tend to do the same with Dogs do react to eye contact and you should begin training them to pay attention to you. Call your our pets. We ignore them when they are quiet and well behaved and pay them attention only when they puppy or dog by his or her name.

It’s always best to do the Repeating this simple exercise at any time will teach reverse and praise and reward a desired behaviour, your pet that it is worthwhile to pay attention to you. and ignore the unwanted. In fact, calling your pet’s name is an effective way of interrupting, and thus eliminating, unwanted Ignore bad behaviour Dogs, just like humans, are social animals and need behaviour. Making an unusual sound is another way interaction with others, so withholding your attention of interrupting. Once your dog is paying attention to is a very effective passive punishment. For example, you, you can ask them to come or sit. if your dog jumps up on you, cross your arms, turn Play takes training, too! your head away and remain absolutely silent until Puppies and dogs need to they stop jumping.
