Sales update

As we have already stated in previous posts - dogs at Value for money prices are extremely scarce in todays market.



Racedogs and pups having their 1st few races are being sold for large five figure sums on a regular basis - for Example only last week an Oct 12 whelp  - by - Tyrur Big mike

won in Kilkenny in 29.12 and was sold after several enquires for over £16,000 - he had 3 races 1 win - Another Oct 12 whelp who had won in Cork - A Ballymac Maeve Pup won in 29.72 for the 503m - he had 7 races 3 wins and was sold for £14,000 to a leading trainer at Hove.


we are constantly being offered dogs some which are not good enough and others which are way overpriced. 

One pup we have secured at a very low modest four figure sum is like the above dogs only an Oct 12 whelp. He recently reached the final of a £2,000 competition.


He has been racing and winning on probably one of the toughest and slowest running tracks in Ireland - Thurles & Youghal.

In his very 1st race he showed tremendous pace down the backs traight to come from 6 lengths behind to win by  2 1/4 lengths in a time of 29.49 at Youghal.

It was however his race in Thurles that impressed us most - this time trapping in front he was never headed - Showing top flight all round pace. Staying the tough 480metres strong he pulled away to win by an increasing 4 1/2 lengtths in a fabulous time of 28.84.


To put this pups time into perspective - - a dog called 'Cill dubh Bolt' won the same night in 28.85 leading all the way - He was sold for over £15,000.


Also the £7,000 Tipperary cup was ran the same night - it contained 2014 Arc finalist - 'All about ya' -(28.31 Swindon - 28.70 in the English derby - he recorded 28.98 the same night as this pup done 28.84- This stake also contained the likes of 'Midtown raffa' - 28.50 Clonmel - 2014 Produce stakes finalist - £25,000 refused. This heat was won in 28.89. )5 spots slower)

This pups card reads :


***1st in 29.49 525 yards race Youghal*** (Racing debut)


***1st in 28.84 525 yards Race Thurles*** 


we have agreed terms on this pup at the price, as we feel he represents huge value for money - In the final he was out in five and was badly baulked at the 2nd and 3rd bends.

Pups the same age and winning times (approx)29.21 & 28.85 Kinloch brae whelps were recently advertised - on G.Data - for £14,000 - & £15.000 and were both sold. This pup will only cost a fraction of that, which is a low modest four figure sum.

what we also like about this pup is that he won from the front and from off the pace - He stays the 480m strongly and is a railer to middle runner. This pup will be arving at westview kennels this week - he is going for a veterinary examination by one of the leading vets in Ireland - Dermot Dooge and will arrive with us afterwards.


He will be campaigned in puppy open compeitions maybe the likes of the Puppy cup Romford or the Northern puppy derby.


Interested parties should phone me direct or come up to the kennels to visit for a chat and view the dog.


Please note** this pups sire - was sold for £50,000 as a race dog and as already produced the likes of - 'Droopys Jet' - English derby finalist - & Jumeriah Dubai - -National sprint winner & only recently 'Mill Jolson' - the 2014 Gymcrack winner.
