At last!! After months of waiting, Shell Out (Droopys Vieri/Olybean) has finally decided that it's the right time to have some pups and she will be mated late next week. I had a chat with Steve and we decided to go to Droopys Maldini for her first litter. This was quite a simple choice - looking at greyhound-data Maldinis top offspring are all from Droopys Vieri or Top Honcho (Vieris dad) bitches, so this is a proven cross. If it works properly the link below should take you to the test mating:
The puppy houses arrived and were erected on Monday and Shelly (on the right in the photo) broke on the Tuesday, so it looks like she was waiting for everything to be in place before she allows nature to take its course! We had the puppy houses designed and built by a local carpenter and he's done a great job. Photos will follow soon. I'll keep the blog going to follow progress of the pups right through to their racing debuts. Steve reckons Sophie (Sophies Marinas) will break soon and she is scheduled to pay a visit to Droopys Kewell when the time is right. So it's busy times ahead but we'll ensure the pups and the mothers get the best of feeding, exercise and handling. Roll on the puppy Derby 2010!!!
